Seven Autumns

Oh the fresh Autumn breeze
Flows through my chest and then out to the East
I'm finding my feet in these new surroundings
Take in your first breath and hold and release
See how it changes year after year
I start to lose count of how long I've been here
But I still recall every step on these streets
From the dust on my shoes and the soles of my feet
How I long to return to somewhere I've never been
So I'll walk to the end to walk back to the start again
Oh the cold Autumn sun
Won't let me forget how my time marches on
And I can't keep up as it races away
Like my midday shadow, getting longer each day
And out in the dark all the kids start to sing
It's so long since I did that sort of thing
Fresh faced and bright eyed wet behind the ears
And six years behind having reason to care
Was I ever so young? Was I ever so free?
Oh the road has been long but there's so much more to see
Oh take me back...
Time will remember each beat of your heart
And tick-tock away all the memories you've wrought
As the road leads away you look back where you've been
Let an old journey end to let a new one begin

Masquerade
04:23
|

|
Into me, oh you sink your teeth
My heart beats to fill your needs
I am bee-line for the bait you feed
I succumb to what you speak
And I know this must seem strange
Playing games that you have never played
Over sounds that we both resonate
I turn you the other way
So suit me so well, keep me at arms length
Masquerading, entertain yourself again
Just pretending that you're holding someone else while I'm here
So confusing is this fusion of ourselves
So curious uncharted waters that you sail in me
Did you ever think of the damage you could do?
Think for a minute that I could fall in love with you?

Move to the Sea
04:22
|

|
If I may be so bold I think it's time for things to change
If I take control we'll go wherever you say
I'll turn to the south it's time I was leaving for you
I promise you this time we'll see it through
We'll be OK in the end, we can escape like you said
Make up for lost time and the best laid plans
We'll write our own stories with our lives in our hands
We'll run from the city and we'll move to the sea
And live out our days in each other's company
We'll be OK in the end, we can escape like you said
We'll make a life out of what we've found
We'll sit and watch the world going around
I don't know when and I don't know how
There's no way I could turn back now
Some say it's strange, and I guess it is
But when it all comes together it'll star to make sense
I can face tomorrow but I need you with me
If I have to keep waiting that's OK with me
We'll be OK in the end, we can escape like you said

April Sun
03:04
|
|||
|
Stunning sun through my window break,
A year long sleep from which I awake,
Had that dream again the whole night
Cold as winter
April sun comes to warm my bones
Awake my senses and shake my soul
As I reflect in a new light
I'm turning into
Where we go is not up to us
Life will be what it makes itself
So hold on just to let go
Unmade plans in an unmade head
So unsure what it was I said
Changing rhythms, changing ways
Still moving on
Broken promises I made myself
Leaving futures to circumstance
Counting hours, counting days
Still move along
Where we are and where we go
It's not what you decide, it's not what you know
So head up, 'cause it's not Summer yet
'Cause if it's something we're meant to know
We would have known it years ago
Time will make fools of masons' hands
Time will turn stone to sand

Up Anchor
05:35
|

|
So up anchor now, set sail at dawn
I'll turn to the South it's time I was moving on
One more survivor with a tale to tell
Of when I left you stranded, I left you for dead
So sorry, how foolish of me
I'll navigate words to lay hands on your skin
So easily broken, so easy pulled in
So draw me a map to wherever you are
And I'll navigate to where you cross your heart
This time it's different I swear on the Gods
I swear it's forever against all the odds
I'll draw all my strength not to tear you apart
But all that I've ever known is how to break hears
So sorry, how unfair of me
One more survivor, lost at sea
So stay dry, stay warm
Stay far from the waters that I sail on
'Cause the words of a siren will lead you astray
You follow the anchors to a watery grave
