Take me out 03:48
She stands by the door A smile when she catches your eye And not a second more When you pass, her stare goes wide Cos there’s a festival in her mind A few hours to waste Looking through the window - So much haste I watch the world - it doesn’t care It moves so fast and I go nowhere As she waits for the clouds to lift and show her a sign Something to take her out of this cold grey town The storm is at the border and we pretend it’s fine I can only hide That’s what I get for ignoring the signs As I wait for the clouds to lift and show me a sign Something to take me out of my cold grey mind Oh I feel a little bit, a little bit sick If only life was a little slower But we keep coming to get our fix As we wait for the clouds to lift and show us a sign Something to take us out of our cold grey minds Of our cold grey minds

Hän lepää Siellä Hän lepää Siellä Loistokkaan tammen alla Hän lepää Siellä He’s resting there Paljon aikaa on mennyt Kaksi salamaniskua Dhhän maahan Hän lepää Siellä Uusi metsä henki Suojele ystävääni Loistokkaan tammen alla Hän lepää Siellä Hän on vapaa

Poppy 02:46
Poppy stands on the floor In front of the camera Yellow dress And a ribbon in her hair Poppy Glass reflects, Reflects the light Can, can she see, see right through Me Poppy

Empathy 05:00
Silence a moment to breathe Patience pledge to believe Nurture protect what you need Grant me the wisdom to see Teach me a lesson to heed Guide me to show empathy I make the bed where I sleep Karma I sow what I reap Learning the lessons I keep Walking a mile with your feet Change this its all up to me Or stay on this path that I tread Mirror hides truth that I seek Without change I stay incomplete Alter a Fait Accompli

These four walls are closing in again Cos its 15 days since I saw your face Living alone can take its toll Things get messy when you’re out of the race Thinking too long on how things might have been Sleeping all morning, the doorbell just won’t ring In this space time stands still Leaning my head on this shitty old windowsill I close my eyes, there you are You tell me: don’t go too far, Dreaming about holding you again Dancing in the waves, Tasting the salt on your skin again, When this is over, I know we’ll meet At the end of the day, when the light is sweet And when I’m with you, I know we’ll touch Like we did before, when nothing really mattered much at all If I can see, I won’t get lost again in the same old maze When I can release the weight of the day When I can forget the weight of the day

The Hallway 04:39
From here to home is just a short little flight But if I drive right through, I’ll get there tonight We had a fine time, the whiskey and the wine If Freedman plays again well be there on the line And you’ll play piano in the hall The sunlight dances on the wall Ooh, everything’s ok Now that were here with you today The gardens alive with sound of the kids running free As we have marmalade toast and lemongrass tea As you play piano in the hall Trying to keep the light from falling Oh, is everything alright? Let’s get out of here for the night We all get busy with the day to day When the music stops, is there anything left to say? It’s funny how we all seem to get the same things Tons of chocolate and holes in our wings And you play piano in the hall The sunlight dances on the wall Ooh, everything’s ok Now that were here with you today
7.
There, there was no one around To catch you when you fell All, all the lights were on As ruin was ringing on your front bell They took, they took your love away They said you weren’t worthy Loss, loss makes the broken more frail Then the lines got blurry It’s all good till you get home x2 And night falls and you’re on your own So, so here we are Left on shifting ground If only we knew, knew what to do How to make the right sound It’s all good till you get home It was all good until you got home And the night fell and you were on your own
