Waiting for arrival
Just round the corner
Given me a compilation
That's when I saw her
He said there's more to pay
But you didn't believe me
We're on our way
Past the massive Strawberry
This the 7th day
Our destination
April day
Of our instauration
Walking through river city
The faces and names
Will always come back to me
No they won't go away
This is the wish come true (and)
I'm beholden whatever
For now it's just me and you
And this is forever
Trying to catch your hand
Just messing around
Talking of future encounters
No more the ghost town
We sat under the trees
And watched people changing
A wooden seat
Where we shared our dreams
Reached for the sky
then crashed together
Walked you home
In perfect weather
You thought it was someone else's car
On foot, didn't realise it was so far
At home, enchanted by Clapton's guitar
We were so close - still no cigar

Contact

Unexpected,
A day late (mind so undecided)
Thoughts collected,
A rumour you confirmed (two-sided)
The sun to rise
It's time to put away the childish thing
"So what's what?"
This is me now
I feel complete without the strings
Contact - I'm on the move
I'm talking to you
Like I never thought that I would
Contact - now we're complete
You're the off-beat that I understood
Undivided,
Our first time we won't be on our own
Unfamiliar,
Arrange a time, a place, a cyclone
And as I move into a new bizarre unfamiliar
In two days, this is the vow
A meet to chase the ghosts away

On Your Birthday
04:04
|

On your birthday, I hope all is good with you
Even though we're not together
I try my best to live up to
Passion and secret letters
I hope she'll never find
Now my past is your present
The one I got for your birthday
Today celebrate
But I forget your face
If she ever knew I'm enamoured
Both of our hearts out of place
On your birthday I wish that I was there with you
Meet your dreams and expectations
But instead just passing through
Passing round secret letters
Thought that she'd find out
Another one from the third floor
Not given in person

Summer Avenue
05:03
|
|||
The land of Green Ginger
Your fascination with tides
Now you're asking me to sing
Like I'm qualified
Walking down Silver Street
With bluest sky
Time is a tower
And memories multiply
On Summer avenue
Where we walk through how we feel
So overdue
Perfect but so surreal
Look who I'm talking to
My heart is a colour-wheel
Summer Avenue
Still walking there today
Taking the stairs to
Then we touch the sand
Planning our trip to something we found
So stops the minute hand
The crescent, the rocks, the sand
One word at a time
Laughing at something juvenile
Don't know why
This day, a prime paragon

Black Horses (Part 1)
02:48
|
|||
Didn't know that tonight was the end
Gotta change it before we descend
Even though I'm aware you'll
Never look at me that way again
Smiling at me like you've heard it all before
Those black Horses
Wild and free and
Still believe we can be somehow
I hope that we
Always hold on to
The here and now
You agree there are things to be said
Should have known that you'd be prepared
All the words bring a silence
Every hope, every fear put to rest
Here comes the pain for the crime of wanting more
And those Black Horses
Of our dreaming and believing
The lights come on
And as we leave
Separation - aspirations gone
Talking to me like you did before day one
These Black Horses
Wild and free and
Still believe we can be somehow
I hope that we
Always hold on to
The here and now

The Train pulls into platform two
The tip-up seats are empty
It's the middle of the morning - half past ten
The postbox on the corner used
The number seven bus
It's late, the people at the bus stop seem born again
Cross the road, descending
The river road is winding
Wooden doll keeps smiling
The landing where the stage was
The first time I believed
That we'd be as one
The sea fret over harbour quay
Here beneath the chestnut tree
The sun behind the haze
These are our dog days
Looking out across the sea
Don't care where we want to be
Conversation unafraid
That summer never fades
The sun can be cruel and time can too
Adventure playground empty
A circle in the square - a wooden seat
She tells me of a moment
And how the pain would last
Neither of us have somewhere to be
Up the hill and round the tree
The gate, the road, the station
The clock turn round to half past two
It's new but it's reliving
The time between the times
When I was me and you were you

Wow (The Time Between)
03:57
|
|||
Time in between
Days get lost
You're not here
Stars are Crossed
Right here, playing a part
Sun on the water, waiting for June to start
The love I had still burning
Still driving my every move
Feel the desire returning
There's nothing to prove
The love I need is coming
A Window on the World
The Catherine wheels stops turning
Still hanging on every word
Box on the wall
Time Decay
Waiting here
For the longest day
Unsure - but sure all the same
Sun on the water and it's spelling out your name

Day One
03:24
|

And here's me thinking it's because it's how I feel
There's you taking the initiative
Here's me waiting for you to arrive
I see it, pale and smiling
I'm listening to a conversation
I don't know where these people go
We're waiting for another stranger
a virgo and a Scorpio
A gentle start to day one
Here on the bleachers with a hit and run
Tallking of giving it up
Hanging around or just hanging on to the rising sun
And here's me acting like I'm down with it all
There's you saying I'm not
Here's me trying to act so indifferent
"What will you do when you leave?"
She wonders how long it's been
A full 2 years in her dreams
Turning on the machine
Remembering all I've seen
Walking round on day one
Here on the fountain with a painted sun
Feeling a part of it all
Buying things that make the day one that I replay
A perfect end to day one
Moving in as we come undone
needing this feeling again
So brand new I'm asking how to arrange day two

Old Town
05:31
|
|||
Waiting by the bus stop by the tree
For you to come by and take me
The station, a kiss goodbye and off we sail
Feet on the seat, A magazine
Then a voice heard not seen
The big smoke we're about to inhale
Underground going the wrong way
Then all of the lights went out
Had to change the order of business
Horror for entertainment, this walkabout
Old Town
Like the first kiss
So much to discover
Following the paper trail
From one end to the other
Happy doing things that you planned
Follow it around
Holding on to one another
Now we're part of the old town
All of these faces so familiar
You take a picture by those you know
Take a cab around it's history and the chamber as planned
Then to the garden with violins
Stop at the diner on the road
Back to the circus so you can touch a hand
The greatest place I've ever been
Went to London and saw the queen
Took you to a place in between
This day, this hour will forever be

Black Horses (Part 2)
05:33
|
|||
Standing in the cold
Waiting for your explanation
Nothing since twenty six ten
Six weeks of dislocation
You never called when you said you would
In fact you never called at all
Nothing left and nowhere to go
So long since our landfall
Black Horses
Black Horses
Run By - Over the hills, Over the hills
Stayed late to avoid you
But then I tested your answerphone
Now I wish we had more time
Should have ended ages ago
Need someone who cares if I live or die
I ignored you and you ignored me
Everything seems to be slipping away
Until the call from overseas
Black Horses, Black Horses
Run By - Over the Hills, Over the Hills
Excuses
Too long, too old and "I don't know"
you called me Mr. Unsociable but you reminisced all our good times
One day's sadness and one year's spite
I ignored 'I never said this'
