Headlights

In your sleep, you mumbled
‘This is the end of days’
Now I can’t help overthinking
What you really meant
Outside a storm was beating and
Headlights lit the wall up bright, all night
I followed you through the winter
To bright skies in May
I lay and thought about it till dawn
Sun seeping through curtains drawn
For whom do you burn
For whom do you burn
For whom do you burn so bright
You grabbed my arm
In the dead night and said ‘Hey lets dance again’
We’d never been out dancing
We’d only wait in line
As the rain hit the window
A draught creeped my thigh
In thrall to all emotion
I’d watched the days go by
I lay and saw the corners grow dark
Sun seeping through curtains drawn
For whom do you burn
For whom do you burn
For whom do you burn so bright
For whom do you burn
For whom do you burn tonight

Lighthouse

In this lighthouse by the sea
We are drifting off to sleep
In this stormy port of war
I lie and wonder what I saw
And I'm losing time
Killing all the images that float above
And I'm holding on
Picturing the things that got away from me
In this lighthouse by the sea
We are drifting off to sleep
In this stormy port of war
I lie and wonder what I saw
And I'm losing time
And I'm holding on
Killing all the images that float above

Today I am a dust cloud settling
On an opiate breeze
You found me turning blue
And shaking like a thief in a noose
A shadow on our skin
Lay hidden from view
How was I to know
Her hair would hang disheveled, strewn around
Hallways and empty rooms
In flesh, the road it twists and turns
In flesh, we gather truth
Today you bring the ashes back
Through backstreets we knew
So put me on the mantel
And I’ll keep watching you
Here on the mantelpiece
Way up high
I hear no sound and my nights
Have all merged with my days
Through the living room
Thoughts on loop
Half our lives we watched the flickering lights
Though all things pass
And turn to dust
I for one never pictured a fleeting gasp
Here amongst the photographs yellowing
A fading reverie
Never did the things I said I’d do
For I only adjusted to running
Never did the things I wanted to
For I was just afraid of sinking
Today I am a dust cloud settling
On an opiate breeze
Lost amongst a dream
In withering sleep
Come back to me my love
In simmering touch
I’m lost amongst a dream
In withering sleep
How was I to know

Here Is Where We Meet
03:27

You came home silent as if from a dream
You can’t back yourself out of
Thinking of our life and death
And all the things left unsaid
I gave you a garden, planted a tree
So we had something to look out on
Forgive me for my wrongs
I only did what I was told
What I was shown
I only did what I was told
And here is where we meet today
I looked down a dry stone well
I thought of water and it’s flow
A chalk mark in the rain
And how we all wash away
I can’t keep a thousand of me
I can barely keep one
Forgive me for my wrongs
I only did what I was told
What I was shown
I only did what I was told
And here is where we meet today

None Of This Will Matter

I slept by the port’s edge last night
The wind was freezing above
If I slipped into the water’s edge
Would the things I put by
Reach your door
If only we’d know
Your words echo in my mind
Like an ever glowing flame
If I fell thirty feet one day
Would the light I left behind
Haunt your thoughts
If only we’d know
If only we’d know
None of this would matter anymore
Way down the line we’ll meet
Different clothes on a different street
‘I thought of you’ you’ll say
But not as I have pictured you each day
If only we’d know
If only we’d know
None of this would matter anymore

I just love sunset and sunrise and throughout the album with this music it reminds me of what I feel every day when I see the sunset and sunrise. I hope I can hear you and see you in more live shows on internet.
