Orion 04:57
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 04:12
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
