Lyrics

Where You Stand

Where you stand

Doesn’t count for nothing

Where you stand

Where you draw the line

Just so I see where you stand

There’s a light ahead

Talking to yourself

It won’t pass for leaping from the shelf

A look becomes a lie

All that you deny

Draws the shades behind your eyes

So can’t you

Tell me what you'd say

Before you give yourself away

Where you stand

We can’t wait forever

Where I stand

There’s a place for you

Count up the lines in your hand

They’re the roads you’re on

Would you take the ride

To where our journeys coincide

You hear the boarding call

The way the story plays out it’s

Time to take the fall

So why don’t you

See me in that way

You can’t just wish these words away

Falling Dream

Out of everything

You can name

There is a shape

You retain

I stretch my hand

To reach a star

Next thing I know

I freefall

I'm falling with you

On my way down I hear your laughter

You tell me something

I can’t hear

Did I forget

What brought me here

Those words that take me back to you

Those words that bring me back to you

Circle

Long

Bright

Summer

Short

Slight

Tremor

There is a place

Where you hide away

You find someone to blame

Heart

Spring

Open

Some

Thing

Given

There is a space

Where you make a circle

You give yourself a name

You can hear the stars

Calling out to you

From a square of sky

Just past knowing

Unspoken words

And if you heed the call

I will be there for you

No Other Light

I'll stand in shallow water and welcome the sun

I'll drink to the moon when the day is done

There is no other light that shines on me

You're staring me down but I still can see

And it feels like I'm breaking ground

Like it's starting to turn around

I'm going all in

After a lifetime of dealing out

But there's a wind that's blowing through the shroud

And I hear my own voice calling out aloud

And if it came down to you

Would you go

I've got a book of salutations and I'm working through the list

But I know you've always waited for the things I missed

You stand your ground till I stop running round

So spare me a kiss as I pass through your town

But it feels like I'm breaking ground

And though you never tried to bring me round

I'm here to let you know

That I'm hoping you'll still be round

And it doesn't matter where this river takes you

And though I don't believe there's anyone with stakes in you

I do think

Grace will follow you

Do you know

Having Grown

Out of the Clouds

Enters a miracle child

Too dark for sunlight

There's a storm in his smile

And he's worn like stones

In your shoe

And they're bruising bones

But you just can't walk away

As he steps into the day

On his own

Out of the shade

One unaccompanied flight

Too great to fade

He is etched with insight

And he's worn like shoes

Over stone

Though his bones are bruised

You just can't walk away

As he steps into the day

Having grown

The Colour of Gold

The rain it tries to relieve

But oh the smoke finds its way through

The dirt is permanent residue

Reminder on my shoes

And when I turn around all I can do is

Cover myself

In ways to forget but mostly

Just in your love

The sea is more than engulfing

You're nearly always capsized

The wind is again unrelenting

Kick you around it will try

But when I turn around all I can see is the

Colour of gold

Dusted on everything really a sight

To behold

The fire the haze the wire the blaze

The bliss of it the golden mist

And when I turn around all I can do is

Cover myself

In ways to forget but mostly

Just in your love

This Goodbye

This goodbye

One of a million

We danced on the grass

That's now worn thin

That withers under another's gaze

This goodbye

That leaves me empty

Is cast on a breeze

That fails to pass the message

I look straight behind

And see you looking straight ahead

As if the goodbye

Wasn't even shared

The tools of trade that kept you in the workplace

Are carried off to unknown places

Passed along the line to be forgotten

A laugh that starts to be

A little harder to remember

A man who doesn't listen talks to himself

His words remind me of myself

Fading just like they do

This goodbye

Is my reminder

That even memory passes

This silent goodbye

The cats have gone

As if they knew

That all goodbyes

Are said anew

All of the dreams

We wordlessly shared

Don't cover the penny I offer

For your thoughts of this goodbye

Of this goodbye

That's all

You close your book for the last time

Soon those who have forgotten you

Will themselves be forgotten

Last Night

Last night
I woke
Only to feel you breathing
Shadows
Feathering your face
Steadily fading
Until
You were gone

Slung in the space
Between what you know
And who you are

Last night
I cried
You didn’t raise an eyebrow
Hindsight
One thing you can do
If we could trace
A line
From me to you

Last night
You said
"If we could rise above this"
Heart sign
Till we both forget
Light in the corner
Leaks through
In your smile

Just for a moment
I’ll have an answer
It’s you
