Riddles

Have you come alone?
Are you the kind to follow your senses and slide
Under folds of heather
Falling short of surprise?
But it bothers you when no one reads your mind
Haven't your fences been climbed,
With your cold and warmer sides fully unclothed?
Let it be known there's wonder in feeling small
Your dance is a harnessed tumble out of fun you're not missing
You'll land and laugh so hard
The riddles your quick to forget
Are turning on their heads tonight
But take it as a sign
Is it often that you're swallowed by the shade?
We've all felt defenseless at some stage
The words you allow to fly out won't get us very far
Secrets depart
You think with your heart, don't you?
In hopes of honesty, bringing us close as close can be
Maybe your guidance has owed you a friend like you in me
So everyone can see
There's beauty in feeling small
Your dance is a harnessed tumble out of fun you're not missing
You'll land and laugh so hard
The riddles your quick to forget
Are turning on their heads for you and I
Take it as a sign

Happily Tired

Keep in touch with the dreamer, don't let her be a stranger
Though her brightest of days only seem to do you harm
Here in my back garden I ain't feeling any younger
But it's always the right time to tell your mother that you love her
No I wasn't hoping to spill the weight of the struggle
After all, I'm just an open book whose words tend to twist about
Yeah my dreamer's got that way of showing I ain't getting any younger
Look how I'm turning my thoughts into friends that grow apart from each other
'Cause I'm happily getting tired
Of wanting to be miles ahead
Can't expect much from a wave,
Having never learned to sail
'Cause I'm happily getting tired,
'Cause I'm happily getting tired, I'm..
Yeah I'm happily getting tired
Of wanting to be miles ahead
Can't expect much from a wave,
Having never learned to sail
Yeah I'm happily getting tired
Of wanting to be miles ahead

Desperate Love
02:38

I've been delaying my life from flowin'
Some things in my mind can be dealt without showin'
Up on my face
It's no crime or mystery we've both been replaced
And do it all again for
Desperate Love,
Hangin' on by the threads
Waiting for silver linings to appear when sitting the test of
Mad affections
Nature knew just what it was at when Summer was ending
Feelin' the world's got my back
And I do believe in hope since we've gone separate paths,
I'd have grown
Ah, but it's sure hard to shine when I'm under the weather
Funny, 'cause no man will make me better!
And it's desperate, love
We're all much to proud to be friends
Never a silver lining guaranteed when giving your best at
Mad affections
Nature knew just what it was at when our love was endin'
Won't you spare a thought for me?

The Spring in Your Step

You got it wrong, girl
The spring in your step
Won't trade its tracks on memory lane
For one stolen night,
There's a movement inside
Going far beyond your name
Wish you could wake up in some other year
What has you saving it up for tomorrow?
Haven't you learned from the plans that shaped you
'round this time of year?
See there's a mighty moonlit show
And as it's whispering its call for letting go, mmm
From right under your nose,
There's always more where that came from
If it's as plain as getting over fear
It's what you do with you time
When it's not your moment
Another song before the last one plays you
Out into new frontiers
YEAAH!!

Anthem
03:41
|

|
A world within me shook,
As puzzled as I am sure
Its pieces that stayed and stuck
Left a shell of what was before
I'm taking a closer look
And mirroring warnings ahead,
The words other voices sung
And all of whose eyes I've met
What if the game is up?
How did you find peace?
Or was it doubt dressed-up
As change about to come?
I never knew just what I'd get into
It's surprising how the things I've left half-done
Would only go so far,
Counting always on those heart to hearts
From a distance
