Track Name: The Line
LYRICS

You drew a line,
you stepped across it.
I drew a circle,
I sat inside.

Squares of black and white
all around me.
The King can only move
one space at a time.
Your eyes are shining,
but the feeling's gone.

My hands are shaking now,
I can't control it.
I sit and wait
for your final move.

You drew a line,
you stepped across it.
I drew a circle,
I sat inside.

As I sit here waiting
for your final move,
the song we're singing
fades away.
Yeah the song we're singing
fades away,
it fades away......
Track Name: The Forest
LYRICS

I woke up in a forest,
there was silence all around.
No other people with me,
there was frost upon the ground.

I started walking slowly,
with no energy to run.
Time it had no meaning,
I just moved towards the sun.

After months and months of walking,
every night and every day,
the trees came to an end
and I heard music start to play.

Inst break

Some people came to meet me,
there was food and there was wine.
I listened to the music,
and the sun began to shine.

I suddenly felt tired,
but I wanted to stay,
so I laid down on the grass,
and I began to drift away.

1st verse repeated
Track Name: Playing (No Rules)
LYRICS

The light is playing on the wall.
I watch the patterns come and go,
and this moment won't come again.

Notes are falling from my fingers,
as I play the day away.
Playing a game that has no rules.

The trees are bare now,
there's nothing left.
The trees are bare now,
there's nothing left,
but I still see you in my head,
and you're running down the road.
Running faster down the road,
to me.....

1st verse repeated
Track Name: Let Go
LYRICS

Let go and feel the pain.
Let go,
we’re all the same,
so just let go.

You sometimes win,
you lose in the end.
You sometimes win,
we all lose in the end,
so just let go.

You’re sometimes fast,
you’re sometimes slow.
When the lights are green,
then you have to go,
so just let go.

1st verse repeated
Track Name: Letter To My Younger Self
LYRICS

Don’t do what they say without asking questions.
If you make a fool of yourself, well that’s ok.
Get to know who you are then learn to like it.
Hold onto your friends, don’t push them away.

CHORUS
If you could see what was coming,
you would turn your head away,
but the world just keeps on spinning,
it’s gonna happen anyway.

Remember that people are not perfect.
They just do the best they can,
so keep an open mind and change it often.
Laugh at every single thing you can.

CHORUS

I don’t pretend to know the answers.
I stumble along most of the time.
Just wanted to try to make things easier.
That’s why I wrote this letter for you.

CHORUS
Track Name: Waiting For The Rain
LYRICS

Oh the sun’s beating down,
on the pale and dusty ground,
as I wait for the rain.

I’ve been walking for miles,
and my mouth is so dry,
as I wait for the rain.

Well the cracks start to show,
can’t hide it anymore,
as I wait for the rain.

1st verse repeated
Track Name: Busking
LYRICS

I'm tired and I'm dusty,
climbed a mountain in my head.
I'm watching all the people going by,
catch my eye and turn away.
Oooh, then I see you smile.
Whoahoahoh, then I see you smile,
and I feel alright.

The sun's feeling warm upon my skin,
there's not a cloud in the sky.
I sing a line from another verse,
but no one knows how it should be.
Oooh, then I see you smile.
Whoahoahoh, then I see you smile,
and I feel alright.

An old man stops to talk to me,
says I brighten up the town.
A child that is dancing,
is dragged away by the hand.
Oooh, then I see you smile.
Whoahoahoh, then I see you smile,
and I feel alright.

1st verse repeated
Track Name: Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop
LYRICS

Oh the light is slowly fading.
Tomorrow bleeds into today.
Rabbits playing in the road.
My muscles slowly tighten again.

CHORUS
If now’s the only time I have,
why do I run away and hide?
Waiting for the other shoe to drop,
but it still takes me by surprise.

A telephone is ringing,
somewhere inside my mind.
The TV news fires bullets at me,
and I fly away.

CHORUS

Is this the last day of the week?
I don’t know when to say goodbye.
Photos fading in an album,
well I don’t feel like they are mine.

CHORUS
Track Name: The Gambler
LYRICS

Well know I’ve had some good times,
but they never last that long.
Climbed to the top of the mountains
and I learned to sing my song.

CHORUS
Days are lining up in front of me,
I knock them over one by one.
The stakes are getting higher.
Like a gambler I can’t stop.

The ride is slowing down now
and my feet are getting cold.
Don’t wanna go to that place again
where lives are bought and sold.

CHORUS
Babadada badada da da etc

I’m going round in circles.
Yeah I’ve seen it all before,
but if you turn your painting over,
well you might see something more.

CHORUS
Track Name: Going Home
LYRICS

A breeze stirs the grass,
wakes a memory from the past.
Roots twist and turn.
The light from a torch upon the ground.
A voice is calling me home.

Time slips and slides.
Words are jumping out of rhyme.
The record starts again.
I know every single line,
and a voice is calling me home.

Years piling up.
A dusty room, a broken clock,
books that won’t be read.
It doesn’t matter cos I know
that a voice is calling me home.
I’m Going home,
yeah I’m going home,
whoooo I’m going home.
Track Name: Is Anybody There?
LYRICS

Feels like I always sing the verse,
but I want to sing the chorus.

Don’t know which mirror tells the truth,
so I look into them all.

Why do we iron out the creases?
I’m not playing anymore.

The lights are shining in my eyes.
Is anybody there?
Track Name: Living In The Shadows
LYRICS

The shadow of my house
is long and deep.
It’s where I spend my days,
it’s where I sleep.
I’m living in the shadows,
living in the shadows.
I’m living in the shadows of my life.

Turn a light on for me,
strong and bright.
Turn a light on for me,
and hold me tight,
cos I’m,
living in the shadows,
living in the shadows.
I’m living in the shadows of my life.
