The Place In Which We'll Sleep 04:37
lyrics
Take me to the place where she sits! Is it true that her smell is bliss ! Bring me to the road where she walks ! Is it true that you tremble when she talks ! Show me the lake by which she lays! Is it true that her skin shines in the suns rays ! Can I see how she keeps so pretty ! Is it true she’s so humble its silly ! ! Direct me to the world where we’ll live ! Is it true that I’ll never have enough to give ! Tell me of all the lands that we’ll explore ! Is it true that with her by your side you could never need more ! ! Take me to the place where she sits ! Is it true that her smell is bliss ! Bring me to the road where she walks ! Is it true that you tremble when she talks ! Show me the lake by which she lays ! Is it true her skin shines in the suns rays ! Can I see how she keeps so pretty ! Is it true she’s so humble its silly! Let me hear the songs I will compose ! Is it true that I write for her I will never grow old ! Show me the place in which we’ll sleep ! Is it true that by her side you will slumber deep…………. slumber deep ! ! Bring me to the road where she walks ! Is it true that you tremble when she talks ! Show me the lake by which she lays ! Is it true her skin shines in the suns rays !

I Don't Miss You 03:55
lyrics

I’m not lost for words anymore I’m not chasing, anyone, but you You filled a gap that I thought wasn’t there We weren’t searching and we found it here And it’s wonderful that you came into my life I don’t miss you when I hear you sing Isn’t it wonderful every time you go away And I just feel like I need to have you here again And I can’t hold your hand even though you’re 6 feet away And I don’t need to do it The very time you opened my head It’s so dangerous can ruin what we’ve had And I’ve no choice but to speak my soul So please pretend that you don’t hear it And it’s wonderful that you came into my life I don’t miss you when I hear you sing Isn’t it wonderful every time you go away And I just feel like I need to have you here again And I can’t hold your hand even though you’re 6 feet away And I don’t need to do it

How To Build A Time Machine 05:17
lyrics
Quick how to build a time machine! Oh before I grow old, before I grow old! Before I’m scratching my head ! Wondering where did you go, where did you go ! Where ever you’ve always been, oh has always been my home! Now I’m leaving home! Will I come back to this road, from this other road! ! Take me to when we’ll meet again ! Bring me to that bliss again. ! ! Oh I tremble when she talks ! And now it’s all silent inside, and I’m frozen still! Oh you took me to the place! But she doesn’t sit there anymore, anymore! Oh I want to be blinded before I die! By the sun that shines on her skin ! ! Take me to when we’ll meet again ! Bring me to that bliss again.

I Think I'm Going Under 07:28
lyrics
Words are not just something that you didn’t write before! With your absence with this distance ! I just feel like I can’t live no more! I heard a man sing songs without pain ! About a love he never gave away! He must have stayed true ! To say I love you ! Without ever breaking the clause ! Should wish or should I wonder! How could it be without going under! Two beautiful kids with a house on the hill! With Byron Bay just a stones throw away! ! Maybe its him maybe its her maybe its she maybe its them maybe its her maybe i dont know who at all! Maybe its just a beautiful scene from a beautiful dream that can’t really come true at all ! Maybe its him maybe its her maybe its she but I’ll tell you what I think I know a little more! Every scene, every green dream sunrise sunset they all seem the same! Every taste and every wonder, ! ! Without words from you my girl! I think I’m going under

Strange Time 04:58
lyrics
Strange time, time of year! Hopefully the only one without you ! Everyone should have to feel this ! To appreciate the ones who love you ! ! Eat Drink and be merry, for can’t be so sweet ! When you take all for granted, and the company you keep ! ! And the people who love you ! And the ones who comfort you to create! Take the time to breathe! ! To create, we need to cry, need to feel, need to love! To be happy we need to be love ….! ! And ….. I LOVE YOU

Warriors 03:32
lyrics
Warriors It was so long ago that you showed me the beauty of your hair And it smelled so wonderful that I decided to stay there I learned to say sorry in your wonderful complicated way Which meant saying it a million times a day Cause we are Warriors in a world with no grace We are looking for a chance to lead the way So you came along and you stopped to see the world And I heard it all because you never lied to me Oh we searched high above and we found what we wanted to pave all along Cause in this wonderful world there’s a moment when we went wrong Cause we are Warriors in a world with no grace We are looking for a chance to lead the way And wont you tell me….. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The Story Of The Little Girl 03:09
lyrics
There was this little girl and she was so tired of this world ! After years of being haunted by the ones who should have cared! She met a strange boy who could see that she was sad! And he brightened up her days until she felt glad! They found a world which no one can explain! So much bliss and so much wonder all mixed up with a bit of pain! ! They worked so so hard at what ever that they could ! To build a life that people dream of but never really would ! Then one day this boy realised he’d done everything he could ! And he told her he had to leave her until his heart felt good ! They found a world which no can explain ! So much bliss and so much wonder all mixed up with a bit of pain! ! Oh this explosion it took me in this way ! And I don’t know whether i should leave or whether I should stay ! You played so far away I can never understand ! How you could be who you are and have done all that you have ! They found a world which no one can explain ! He drove her to the lengths of doing something inhumane ! ! Even though I love you I want you to go ! Leave my dreams please vacate my soul

Water and Wine 06:11
lyrics
It Goes around, goes around and it’s whistling inside ! It’s churning, trembling, belittling my life! Oh the sound, oh the sound of not hearing you at all! It kills me, kills me, its killing me inside! ! you were born when I was a little boy! And I could feel you, you were a sparkle in the sky ! I dreamt of you before I even knew you were alive ! And now its kicking me inside ! ! You bring me Water and Wine, you sing with me all of the time.! ! Oh your curves they inject me with desire ! They tickle me, tickle me inside! Your kiss from your lips ! You know there is nothing so divine ! And it fills me, fills me up with life! Oh the stars, the stars, they’re so jealous up above ! Because they are not tinkling like you my love! ! You bring me Water and Wine, you sing with me all of the time. ! ! There was a time long ago when you could have been my wife! But I did to me, did to me this strife! Come around, come around and stop suffering inside! Stick with me, stick with me, I know we can survive! Sleep taking, I’m waking, Im waking all the time ! oh and It’s belittling, belittling my life ! ! ITS ALIVE, ITS ALIVE, I can feel it its alive ! Stick with me, stick with me I know we can survive! We fight and we fight and we’re jumping off the walls ! And it doesn’t give, doesn’t give us a better life ! ! You bring me Water and Wine, you sing with me all of the time ! ! You some peace girl, you need to breathe, I need some peace and I need to breathe.

Until It's Time To Die 05:21
lyrics
Until It’s Time To Die The Weeks fall out and no one knows Oh when I can continue to write how this story goes I’ve spent the summary in January Now it’s Autumn in the spring, did you get the sun I bring? And I’m really trying to see what good this war can bring Until it’s time to fly I’ll be sitting in my cage whistling away Until it’s time to die….. there’s nothing left to say Where I call my home I feel most alone Ya know there’s no one on this road And there’s no blood left in my soul I should be more than buried in books, swimming in pots of coffee And I’m trying to be something more Than anyone could know and anyone can see You showed me more than I could ever know Until It’s time to fly ... I’ll waxing my wings whistling away

Fireflies 06:58
lyrics
Fireflies The Night is poured into the day Exhaustion control is in every way Sweating and burning in reflections of this hot sun Rowing you towards a world far from everyone This is not a battle but we are sure to win To describe how we are one I wouldn’t know where to begin Your smiles and words reassure and prevent me from slipping away into.. Let down my judgement don't let me down, again For she feels like she’s a spirit from far within Sleep now and forever hold my peace, close your eyes and…. remain… right there Remain… I’m so full of life, and I dance and I sing Come join us to feel the great joy we bring I stepped and I’ve sighed, smiled and we’ve cried We’re just the same in this game you and I Coffee when it’s bright then some wine in the starlight The road became clear when lit up by fireflies You can hope you can dream But ignore what you feel then your hair will tangle like your head on a motorbike You’re my firefly, light me, don’t burn me!!! Of all the dreams that we could conceive We were blinded by the mirror of what before we believed Of all of the songs that I could write and sing For you were not alone in feeling what the world to us did bring Hot chocolate when it’s light and then some songs in the starlight The road became clear when lit up by fireflies We stepped and we sighed and we smiled and we cried WE”RE JUST THE SAME IN THIS GAME YOU AND I!! You’re my FIREFLY, light me…. don't burn me!!!!!!! Sleep now and forever hold your peace, close your eyes and…. remain just...

Shake 05:52
lyrics
There was a magnet There was a magnet between us and sat there You forgot to fill your mushroom We Starin You saw a shooting star in the blue sky And we shared …. but we needed to slumber Then we hung it all … we made the night burst with sunrise And we were playing … and i was energised to see you This is anything, but everything seemed so much more beautiful And then we went away .. and became warriors romancing And you dance all over me And you show your voice and all its charms And wit oh wittingly .. oh you make me how I missed you so hard And all of this wondering … lucky I’ve got your ticket And I’ve missed you so effortlessly …. everyday of ours Shake A Sahke a nanananananana We sat there, and it felt like snow boarding under. Under the stars … I don’t think we ever sat under And you preach so heavenly and you explain everything like you were a child and I wonder wittingly … no matter how i ever needed a number to call Amazing for me think about, all the list that we can cross And I wonder where we, and I wonder where you are Like a whirling super child …. running on for miles Like a river flowing up down and across the way Into the ocean and where ever the sun may fall We’ll turned so heavenly … to all of the stars and we’ll go Shake shake a shake a nanananana
