About Time 04:51 video
lyrics

About Time Though it’s never felt like home it’s been so long That it’s hard to leave behind Can you take me to the place where I belong I never learned to wait in turn It’s time that I was gone Oh the lost and lonely gather once again Sad and smiling faces somehow look the same As they line the pavements waiting for a sign Just a fleeting glimpse of their lives going by But it’s alright you and I We’ve always wondered why And now we know it’s all about time And I’ve come too far to fall upon my sins I’ll atone with each new day Now I’ve earned my chance to see this life begin Save me now if you know how Don’t leave me where I’ve been Oh the lost and lonely gather once again Sad and smiling faces somehow look the same As they line the pavements waiting for a sign Just a fleeting glimpse of their lives going by But it’s alright you and I We’ve always wondered why And now we know it’s all about time And did we go too far Forgetting who we are Will it ever be the same again Can we ever stop becoming who we’re not Taking everything but blame Oh the lost and lonely gather once again Sad and smiling faces somehow look the same As they line the pavements waiting for a sign Just a fleeting glimpse of their lives going by But it’s alright there’s a light Shining far and wide It’s how we know that we’re still alive But it’s alright you and I We’ve always wondered why And now we know it’s all about time

When I Was You 04:27

When I Was You If he could see me now The lonely soul I was somehow I’d whisper in his ear All the things he’d want to hear Don’t despair ‘cos something’s coming I’ll meet you there a life worth loving Oh I’m blinded by the sun but I’m still feeling All the seeds I’ve ever sown will grow Now I see who I’ve become and I’m believing All the ghosts are dead and gone I know Life may take but I’m not giving I won’t wait so I am living now This isn’t how it ends You’ve got so far to go my friend You think you’ve lost your way When I was you I felt the same Just hold on ‘cos something’s coming There’ll be someone a life worth loving Oh I’m blinded by the sun but I’m still feeling All the seeds I’ve ever sown will grow Now I see who I’ve become and I’m believing All the ghosts are dead and gone I know Life may take but I’m not giving I won’t wait so I am living now You’re my past All that you have All that you’ll find it once was mine Have no fear you will be here in time Oh I’m blinded by the sun but I’m still feeling All the seeds I’ve ever sown will grow Now I see who I’ve become and I’m believing All the ghosts are dead and gone I know Life may take but I’m not giving I won’t wait so I am living now

Everything’s Not Fine A life spent living like we ought to and it’s taught you To pass the time and say goodbye Now I look back upon the journey and it burns me The wasted years they sting like tears How I miss them as they glisten down my face and hit the floor now I’m sure I won’t waste another second of my time Looking for an answer that’s already mine Everything’s not fine And if you don’t mind I’ll hide this thing that’s broken deep inside Save it for tomorrow if the sun still shines Everything’s not fine Though every day may find me older and it’s colder I long to run it’s just begun I beg the skies to give me reasons when I need them And count them all as raindrops fall And I listen as they glisten down my face and hit the ground now I’m found I won’t waste another second of my time Looking for an answer that’s already mine Everything’s not fine And if you don’t mind I’ll hide this thing that’s broken deep inside Save it for tomorrow if the sun still shines Everything’s not fine I won’t spend another decade of my life Staring over shoulders in an endless line Waiting for a sign I won’t waste another second of my time Looking for an answer that’s already mine Everything’s not fine And if you don’t mind I’ll hide this thing that’s broken deep inside Save it for tomorrow if the sun still shines Everything’s not fine

Falling 03:02

Falling Throw me a rope I’m sinking can’t you see I’m going down Standing there just thinking that you’d better let me drown I remember being in a place that felt like home Is seeing still believing Are you giving up and leaving me alone Yeah though my head is spinning And it seems so long ago I remember winning Just hold that thought for me And have no doubt it’s all about The one who sets you free Give me your hand I’m falling and the darkness bares no sound Listen for me calling from this lonely place I’ve found I don’t remember needing anything I’ve ever owned Is seeing still believing Are you giving up and leaving me alone Yeah though my head is spinning And it seems so long ago I remember winning Just hold that thought for me And have no doubt it’s all about The one who sets you free So I’m asking you the way home I’d give anything I own To hold the passing years A place to hide my hopes and fears away Far away Yeah though my head is spinning And it seems so long ago I remember winning Just hold that thought for me And have no doubt it’s all about The one who sets you free

Scattered To The Wind 04:04
lyrics

Scattered To The Wind You ask me of the journey Is walking down this road too slow You know I ran to be here early But I just missed the show Though wiser men than I have stumbled For what it’s with the only thing I learned Is all I need to know Time takes it’s toll on your heart and your soul But it’s ok take it in Before the memories of all of this are scattered to the wind You ask me of the dark skies Is something left behind to find And will it grow with every sunrise Or wither on the vine And wiser men than I have wondered Is it gone or does it lie beyond The corner of your eye Time takes it’s toll on your heart and your soul But it’s ok take it in Before the memories of all of this are scattered to the wind And ten years down the line These will be the days The best years of our lives now gone by And as they fade with all the plans you made At least you help them tight Time takes it’s toll on your heart and your soul But it’s ok take it in Before the memories of all of this are scattered to the wind

Day By Day 03:11 video
lyrics

Day By Day I have slumbered half my life Wandered oh so blind A path I made my own never lonely just alone You burned away the haze Saved me from my fate Woke me from my sleep to find a dream I long to keep And it’s calling me Day by day as I make my way Deep inside there’s a turning tide I know now what could be mine If only I could find more time I have stumbled through my years Seen them disappear And all that’s left behind I’d give away if I could find A way to meet you when I still had time to spend Living like I’d die without you standing by my side And I don’t know why Day by day as I make my way Deep inside there’s a turning tide I know now what could be mine If only I could find more time Can you spare a little hope And if hope has flown Then give me lies for peace of mind And maybe I won’t know Day by day as I make my way Deep inside there’s a turning tide I know now what could be mine If only I could find more time

Where It Goes 04:08 video
lyrics

Where It Goes I see how It’s better lost than never found Are the voices from the past coming now To play their game As I move closer to the grave And a broken heart it burns like a flame as they say So when you look back on your time Were you chasing dancing bright lights in the blackened sky You’d die for the life you hoped to find But you’re left romancing all the time that passed you by Who knows where it goes This is old And how I got here I don’t know There’ll be answers in the end I suppose They call my name And it’s too late to turn away And I’m taken by the hand as they say once again So when you look back on your time Were you chasing dancing bright lights in the blackened sky You’d die for the life you hoped to find But you’re left romancing all the time that passed you by Who knows where it goes I’ve been ripping up my soles on broken stones Always running always chasing something But here it comes and there it goes I’ve been waiting looking for the other side It’s too late and now I look around And realise my life’s gone by So when you look back on your time Were you chasing dancing bright lights in the blackened sky You’d die for the life you hoped to find But you’re left romancing all the time that passed you by Who knows where it goes

Lay Me Down You’re watching over me but I won’t make a sound All the faces turn to you and slowly gather ‘round Though every word we shared is hanging in the air All the things now never said make it seem so damn unfair Can you hear me there Oh oh if it’s my turn Lay me down Let me burn But time was no friend of mine The voices in the sky that echo underground Everything I ever knew is slowly fading now If I were with you there and whispered in your ear Would you understand a word would you know that I was near Would you even hear Oh oh if it’s my turn Lay me down Let me burn But time was no friend of mine All is forsaken Torn up and taken away Here I stay A world still turning A sun still burning today Here I stay But time was no friend of mine Oh oh if it’s my turn Lay me down Let me burn But time was no friend of mine Oh oh take me now All dressed up For going out But time was no friend of mine

Lonely Now 03:49

Lonely Now Though no-one else can see It’s calling out to me I hear the whispers in the dark as I give in to sleep The man that I’ve become he makes me want to run Until the sky turns black to blue ‘cos I remember You said a million stars are up there burning We still look down You know beneath us all a world’s still turning How are we lonely now Are you lonely now Though no-one else can hear to me they’re always clear The distant echoes in the night of all I had to fear The man I used to be a faded memory And everything that he once knew is gone forever You said a million stars are up there burning We still look down You know beneath us all a world’s still turning How are we lonely now Are you lonely now Now I know I see what you once saw You say I’ve been here before Show me how you do the things you do You said a million stars are up there burning We still look down You know beneath us all a world’s still turning How are we lonely now Are you lonely now

Going Home 04:34

Going Home I dedicate this one to you a friend so hard to lose But don’t you know time will make us strangers as it goes All the places that we’ve seen the memories are dreams No more to show I think it’s time to say goodnight I think it’s it’s time to settle up and go ‘Cos I’ve been gone so long it’s time I’m moving on Here I take a bow I think I’m done now With chasing the unknown I’m going home This is how it ends Save me from my friends For everything I own I’m going home I dedicate this one to me the man I used to be A path once clear now more overgrown with every year All the foolish things we’ve done The people we’ve become Well who am I I’m not the man you used to know And now it’s time for me to say goodbye So thank you for the show now it’s time to go Here I take a bow I think I’m done now With chasing the unknown I’m going home This is how it ends Save me from my friends For everything I own I’m going home And all those things you said are spinning like my head A life spent waiting for the fall but never knowing when I’ll give you what you’re owed one more for the road They say the good will out Here I take a bow I think I’m done now With chasing the unknown I’m going home This is how it ends Save me from my friends For everything I own I’m going home

Shades Of Grey It seems I’m getting older I’m ageing and I’m fading sitting here A cardboard box of memories and you my dear And is it getting colder I sometimes feel a chill when you are near And what was once a mystery is now so clear Another year I know I let you down And I’m mystified how can you be gone without a sound Tell me now Here lies your stubborn fool Where all the wild things grew And there was always me and you Oh save him too All alone again waiting for you I look back through the years now The torn and faded distant shades of grey Is it all another word or yesterday I wish that I could go now If only I could softly slip away Or wind it back and start again but here I stay Another day holding back the dawn And I’m misty eyed lost within this tapestry so torn Keep me warm Here lies your stubborn fool Where all the wild things grew And there was always me and you Oh save him too All alone again waiting for you Do you see me now who I am all I do All alone again waiting for you Holding back the dawn And I’m misty eyed lost within this tapestry so torn Keep me warm Here lies your stubborn fool Where all the wild things grew And there was always me and you Oh save him too All alone again waiting for you

Slow Burn Now and then I slip away in time To a when The future had a name and it was mine Long ago I saw you in disguise Had I known I would have turned away closed my eyes Up in the clouds You tear my silver linings down And again I curse the day I learned your name Slow burn ever the same Slow burn am I the only one who feels your pain I learned nothing again Slow burn You’ve taken everything but you won’t ever take the blame What a friend You whisper every lie In the end You’ll disappear like shadows in the light Up in the clouds You tear my silver linings down And again I curse the day I learned your name Slow burn ever the same Slow burn am I the only one who feels your pain I learned nothing again Slow burn You’ve taken everything but you won’t ever take the blame Tell me that without you there’s no life We have been together since the day I learned to cry Tell me that there’s something I don’t know I could leave tomorrow if I had somewhere to go Slow burn ever the same Slow burn am I the only one who feels your pain I learned nothing again Slow burn You’ve taken everything but you won’t ever take the blame

Indigo So adrift when nothing’s wrong but nothing seems to fit You wait your turn I guess you live and learn my friend But you see the blackened skies they clear eventually It’s not the end Spare a thought for you and I when You feel you’re slowly going to lose your mind No place to hide just look inside ‘cos I know this fire burns And every time the page it turns New flames grow from embers indigo Look at you you’re starting to believe the worst is true It starts to slide don’t slip on foolish pride my friend Look at me though wit and wisdom don’t come easily For you I’m there Don’t believe that I don’t care when You feel you’re slowly going to lose your mind No place to hide just look inside ‘cos I know this fire burns And every time the page it turns New flames grow from embers indigo You’re falling and you’re scared of the dizzy heights Your head starts to spin I’m calling take my hand and you hold on tight ‘Cos somewhere within I know this fire burns And every time the page it turns New flames grow from embers indigo I know this fire burns And every time the page it turns New flames grow from embers indigo

Peace Of Mind I feel the years The shadows lengthen before me I see my hopes and fears just fade away Day by day It’s here again I hear the footsteps behind me I won’t know where or when until it’s done Here it comes Save me Light in this darkness of mine Is it time To maybe Follow your flame ’til I find Some peace of mind It’s all for dust So many years in the making I wish that I could just hold back the hands Stop the sands Save me Light in this darkness of mine Is it time To maybe Follow your flame ’til I find Some peace of mind There may be a way to make amends One life everyday until the end Save me Light in this darkness of mine Is it time To maybe Follow your flame ’til I find Some peace of mind
