Orion

I heard a voice in the dark singing
I heard a voice out in the cold
I heard a voice in the streets crying
It was crying out my name
The world around me is busting out
The very streets they speak my name
The constellations all the stars are pulsing
To the rhythm in my chest
Orion oh won't you fling your stars out anew in the night sky
Orion oh don't you shut me out 'cause I need your light to shine
There's a sound from the stars darling
There's a word that's spoken out
Draw it in keep it warm darling
Don't you question don't you doubt
Orion oh won't you tell me now you'll still be here tomorrow
Orion oh don't you remember all the years we hoped for something more
Oh is this it now
Is this it now
So why am I so unsure
So unsure
I thought that I'd be so sure
I'd be so sure
So why am I so unsure
So unsure
I thought that I'd be so sure
I'd be so sure
It's in the black that I hear something
If all the noise it quiets down
If I know if I feel something
You know I'll never lay it down

Firelight
03:36
|
|
||
Oh the night climbling slowly through the window
You can see it
Eyes are wide
Clamour through the hesitation
You can feel it
And as hopeless as it seems
You've had bigger badder dreams before
And this is not a new thing anymore
Beat your heart
In your skin you're all a-shimmer
Do you know it
Fall apart
Find the grace that's there to catch you if you lose it
And as hopeless as it seems
You've dealt with bigger harder things before
And this is not a mountain anymore
It's not as it seems when your insides' upside down and you're up
To your knees
And the mud's soaked through your shoes but find that
Firelight
You can feel it burning feel it burning
Firelight
Soak it up turn it up for the sake of your heart and
Firelight
Take a breath darling
Don't you know you're only human
You've got a heart beating
And no matter what you're saying to yourself well that fire's ablaze
And as hopeless as it
Hopeless as it seems
This won't bring you down no no
It's not as it seems when your insides' upside down and you're up
To your knees
And the mud's soaked through your shoes but find that
Firelight
You can feel it burning feel it burning
Firelight
Soak it up turn it up for the sake of your heart and
Firelight woah
Firelight woah

In Good Time

In good time if you wait
I'll come round
Round the mountain
In good time if you stay
I'll return with your blue ribbons
I won't let go
I won't loose sight
I can't be defined by these lies
And with these hands
And with these eyes
I'm breaking
I'm breaking these ties
I've been miles out to sea
Far across a great big ocean
But if you wait
Wait for me
I'll return with my heart on my sleeve
Cause I won't let go
I won't loose sight
I can't be defined by these lies
And with these hands
And with these eyes
I'm breaking
I'm breaking these ties
In good time if you wait
If you watch the horizon
I will come
I'll come home
I will come
I'll come home
I'll come back home to you

Oh My Joy
03:45
|
|
||
Oh my joy, my joy, you say
Oh my heart has flown away
Flesh from flesh and soul from soul torn
Now a grief that must be borne
You are a boat and you're drifting at sea
May the wind and the swells bring you home, bring you home
If I had a mast and a sail you could raise
I would guide you to dry ground, my friend
Oh....I would guide you to dry ground, my friend
If these were the words that could close all the wounds
If the waters that flood you would recede at my love
And if all of the wrongs I could change to be right
It would go without saying, my friend
If these were the words that could close all the wounds
If the waters that flood you would recede at my love
And if all of the wrongs I could change to be right
It would go without saying, my friend
Oh....it would go without saying, my friend

Storm
05:41

|

The strangest dream it came to me at night
With oceans filled with monsters of the deep
In wind and tide I entered in by light
And lost myself in waves, the storm so sweet
I'm searching for the ones I saw before
The distance grows, I can't make out their face
My body's weak; the waves begin to roar
They carry me away; I can't escape
The stars are out; the land lights gleam afar
The waters team with monsters underneath
Alone at sea, this fear will break my heart
I've lost myself for all that I can see
Beneath me all around me as the water churns and swirls and moves me
Oh a monster rises from beneath
Of water man or creature I can't tell
But as I faint with fear I hear its voice
It beckons me to see, to breathe
In wind and tide I entered in by light
And lost myself in waves, the storm so sweet
