How We Are

Love do you ever wish to fly away
Holding all you cared to say
Is it any wonder
Is it anything
That your many wishes
Turn to nothing
And how we are
Beyond these walls
Many go to fight
Many go to war
Is it any wonder
Is it anything
That their many wishes
Turn to nothing
Turn to nothing
Love do you ever wish to fly away

The Hollow Boat
02:45
|

There you sink into the floor
Take us with you red and raw
Holding on as feathers float
Morning light has locked us out
Lost you as the feathers float
Lost you as the walls they spoke
Lost you in the morning light
Lost and lured by fearful flight
You don’t want to cry
That’s when you do
Your salted secrets fall upon the ground
Weighted whispers warm my face
Soak me silly in your grace
And we as one we hold you close
Sorrow has us by the throat
You don’t want to run
That’s when you do
Your frenzied feet they fall upon the ground
Your frenzied feet they fall upon the ground
Oh.

One woman in
Her many parts
Could never satisfy you
But I want to
Fire in our mouths
We put it out
But for that moment I'm burning
So be here now
With hope eternal
I see the tunnel in your clenched fist
Come on fight me
I'll fight you

A Difficult Crossing
02:45
|
|||
Oh the quiet
Swell I’m brimming
Prize me open
Pour me out
Dirty windows
Break the morning
On our bodies
On our bodies
Fifty certain
Whips are cracking
In the school yard
As you pass
And a stone sighs
“Why you got to
Why you got to
Move so fast?”
Oh the bird is
Held by hands large
But there are no arms
And there are no words
And the crossing
It’s not easy
The sea’s alive
The sky’s closed in
But I choose ocean
From a table
Under a hand
Safe on land
There the window
Stands between us
Too small for these
Clumsy hands
Three little steps
And we’re there now
Glory at the edge of dreams
Glory at the edge of dreams
Glory at the edge of dreams
Glory at the edge of dreams

Undertow
03:20
|
|||
Watch the tide turn
Feel the pull
Keep fortune at bay
Black oh glory
Undertow
I love you til I die
Gentle wolves in foreign fields
Hopeful within pride
Pray now spirit keep me safe tonight
Ideals broken passing by
Wistful vacancies
The sky a ceiling
It's for me
You held it there for days
Quiet quiet when bells ring
at the break of dawn
Pray now spirit help me to go on
Quiet quiet as you wake
Behind still shut eyes
Pray now spirit
Let our reasons lie

Marcel
03:45

Move for me Marcel dance your fear away, we’ll make sordid music, let hesitation sway. For just this hour. For just this hour. No talk of sadness, in fluid we’ll forget, no talk of sadness. I will drown in you, you in me, for just this hour, pretend to be, all that we could want, we could need. Lie with me Marcel let our lips collide, we’ll make sordid music then in your arms I’ll hide. For just this hour. For just this hour. I will drown in you, you in me, for just this hour, pretend to be, all that we could know, we could need. I will not know your face. A shadow passing. And the clock it takes your place. A steady, sombre song. Run from me Marcel.

Into The Night
06:02
|
|||
I float in the ever-swirling sea
Drift between shores where the preachers be
And now and then I watch a bird
Fall from grace, its song unheard
Beneath you I lay my poetry
Take it with love for it’s nothing to me
And as time and the planets are ever in flight
So now am I, into the night
Still I hold out for my worth
I hold out for my worth
And what of the armour you bought with your blue winter coat
Still you are smiling, you’re holding the scar on your throat
I run for cover, I run for a hole in the wall
I run for cover but this space is just so small
Some they are born inside wisdom’s tree
Spread their arms through the canopy
And their pretty fruit when dropped and bruised
Gifts lost to the soles of our shoes
In far off places I’m sure of it all
I can be the path I can be the door
But kneeling now I’m still and try to
Talk to a God I feel is a lie
Still I hold out for a word
I hold out for a word
And what of the armour you bought with your blue winter coat
Still you are smiling, you’re holding the scar on your throat
I run for cover, I run for a hole in the wall
I run for cover but this space is just so small
Give me music not noise
No pleasures I want joy
Give me passion no folly
No treasures I want soul
I want soul.
