Red armchair 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Silence falls around this tree Whispers of what it might be Fade into the night Drift far out of sight You cannot hear them any more Silence falls around this heart The excitement that we all felt at the start Turns to something much more vague At the turning of each page we used to light up Now we brace ourselves Shall we carry you there in your red armchair You can see for yourself How many souls are aching For the dreams upon their shelf Caught in a whirlpool Of our own design Thinking only of the reasons Forgetting all the rhymes So go swift, go silent Let your work carry on Silence falls around this land Deeper than you can imagine Something you don't understand You say that I'm exaggerating Say that things will never go so far that way I hope you're right Shall we carry you there in your red armchair You can see for yourself How many souls are drowning In ideas of life and health Caught in a whirlpool Of our own design Thinking only of the reasons Forgetting all the rhymes So go swift, go silent... Let your work carry on

Path of diamonds 02:51
lyrics

You know cos you heard it in the wind You know cos you feel it in your heart You know cos you sense it all around you Rushing through the ocean, shining down from the stars Don’t choose the path of diamonds It will be the death of you We all need warmth and comfort You can find them and stay true You know when you wake up in the morning Some folks have been blinded by the light Each person is standing somewhere different No one else can tell you if your path is right Don't choose the path of diamonds... This earth has seen a million ways of living Nobody can tell you it is wrong I'll know when I feel it in my heart Now's the time to start to sing a different song Don't choose the path of diamonds...

Longing for the wild 05:30
lyrics
buy track
You’re longing for the wild You’re looking for the child Who was cast away For being the way that he was They don’t speak for you Just because they don’t give a hoot About being polite Doesn’t mean that what they’re teaching is right They don’t love the wild at all They’d sooner pave over it all Than allow just one ray of the unknown And when the colour of the world seems to fade They’ll tell you it was never any other way And aren’t we lucky We don’t need to rely on the rain We’ve got screens to take away all of our pain We don’t need to break our backs any more Oh longing for the wild Dreaming of a place you can feel But cannot see Oh don’t believe the lies That are scattered through the sky The way it is today is not the way it needs to be This day is new and free as a bud They don’t hear the call of the rain They try so hard to turn away from the pain Turn too far you might not see The light that it releases And when the magic of the world seems to fade They’ll tell you it was never any other way And aren’t we lucky We don’t need to rely on the sun We’ve got screens to provide all of our fun There's no need to live like savages no more We will not shout We will not cry We will not doubt We will not sigh We will not tremble when the cold winds blow No need to wade through all the mud and all the snow We are not moved by the moon or by the stars And we won’t let it be known That we are longing for the wild...

Little light 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Little light, it seems you found a door Maybe looking for something or just having an explore Little light, this world is not what people say We build fortresses of language But what's living isn't fixed a certain way Little light, ah but what can I teach you? You'll probably know far more than I, perhaps you already do Little one, you light up caverns with your smile May what you find along the way Make your journey worth the while Words can lock together Like the pieces of a jigsaw People can have an air of being so very sure But the world that you've been living in, little light Is just as real if not more Little light, it seems you found a door Maybe looking for something or just having an explore Little one, your face is lighting up again I've never felt a love so clear And I doubt I will again

Moping in the summer sun 04:37
lyrics

Little boy what are you running from Why do you look so scared Wondering what's coming down From the top of the stairs This doesn't feel like a home should But it's the one you've got I guess he doesn't know how crushing this is I wish there was a way to tell him While everyone else is out having fun Your voice dries up in the summer sun But inside you're screaming: "I don't know what you want from me I've toed the line for the last time And I'm starting to see the truth There really is no pleasing you" Little boy who are you crying for Why do you look so sad Are you gazing across the sky Or across the land Is it a friend you are missing? Someone to fight and play? Was it a girl or was it a boy? I guess it doesn't matter While everyone else is out having fun I see you moping in the summer sun But inside you're raging: "I don't know what you want from me I've kept in line for the last time And I'm starting to see the truth There really is no pleasing you" Little boy what are you looking at Why do you seem so scared Searching for movements in his eyes This doesn't feel like a home should But it's the one you've got I guess he doesn't know how chilling this is If you unfreeze it now it's gonna hurt a lot While everyone else is out having fun You're voice dries up in the summer sun But inside you're screaming: "I don't know what you want from me I've toed the line for the last time And I'm starting to see the truth There really is no pleasing you"

Younger brother 05:47
lyrics
buy track
Is it any wonder When you think about the way we treat this earth Disconnected from the knowledge of what it’s worth That we don’t know how to stop or to begin Is it any wonder When we’re cut off from the night and from the day That we don’t know how to rest or how to play As without so within Comfort and convenience rule Everything is nothing but a tool I can’t feel the life that flows Through the hills and through my own veins This loneliness of the spirit Cuts through everything like an icy wind And I know that we are missing something In spite of all we’ve gained But change is coming now one way or another One way or another there’s a change Change it is coming now over the horizon There is no way this world can stay the same Sometimes I wonder if we’re just children Trying to find our way Sometimes I wonder if we will find Our way home some day Oh younger brother Won't you come on home We can pretend That nothing’s happening as the cracks begin to grow Push away what deep inside we start to know And keep on shuffling all these blocks about But in the end We are creatures of consciousness and light If we don’t know that then how can we put this right? As within so without One way or another As without so within And the things you cannot measure They change everything One way or another As within so without This world is full to bursting with confusion But that’s one thing I don’t doubt Change is coming now one way or another One way or another there’s a change Change it is coming now over the horizon There is no way this world can stay the same Sometimes I wonder if we’re still children Trying to find our dreams Since we left our home and our family We've been searching for something it seems Oh younger brother Won't you come on home

Arms of the land 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Behind this laughter you'll find fear Behind this smile you'll find sadness How long will worlds we love be here How much space is there for gladness My mind will not cease from roaming Nor shall my heart sleep in my hand Until wild roses grow through our cities And we are resting Back in the arms of the land I'm not saying we should go back And make a copy of the past The winds of change will always blow No way of life will always last Regain the wisdom that has been swept away Learn from the old ways and the new Let the forest and the ocean breathe again And you might find that our lungs breathe easier too My mind will not cease from roaming Nor shall my heart sleep in my hand Until wild roses grow through our cities And we are resting Safe in the arms of the land Let go of all this fruitless toil Admit we've lost as well as gained Put your hands into the soil And you'll know why in times gone by they thanked the rain My mind will not cease from roaming Nor shall my heart sleep in my hand Until wild roses grow through our cities And we are resting Deep in the arms of the land

Stand in the rain 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Every word that you say Knowing it will cause pain Just takes you further away From the peace that you're seeking Every truth that you twist And shroud in a poisonous mist Just adds to the dismal list Of half truths that you're speaking But if you stand in the rain For a week or a month or a year Will this bottomless pain, this crippling fear, leave you? And if you follow your path Without trying to see where it leads Will these seeds in your hand take root in this land And grow into trees? One day you have to peel off all this dust To look the world in the face and trust Truth cannot be bought or sold So stop these stupid games, they're getting old Every word that I say Without care in my heart Just pulls me further apart From the connection I long for Just another fright Sailing through the night Just another fruitless fight To write a song for But if I stand in the rain For a week or a month or a year Will this bottomless pain, this crippling fear, leave me? And if I follow my path Without trying to see where it leads Will these seeds in my hand take root in this land And grow into trees? Nobody needs our petty obsessions To add to the list of their possessions It only weighs upon the soul So let's stop these stupid games, they're getting old

Other side of the sky 03:14
lyrics
buy track
The rain drops down through an endless sky The cows come down and go in for the night The mist so thick I'm surprised that I can breathe Sometimes it seems these rocky paths go on forever Traipsing over this ground, aching relentlessly Raking over the past has its place I believe And I know there's something on the other side of your eyes And I'll see you there on the other side of the sky As I look up I see a thousand drops of rain Fall to touch a thousand thirsty lips again Each one silently mouthing Some unspeakable pain that they can't let go Then they collect into a river of tears A waterfall to wash away your fears Gratefully you leave behind 30 years of sorrow And I know there's something on the other side of your eyes And I'll see you there on the other side of the sky

Wind road 05:11
lyrics

Wind wind road I don’t want to see what your bends hide I will go by the forest road Travelling by night And if a castle on the hill should rise up I will not go there Will this journey never end Will I always have you as a friend Wind wind road No one ever will know all things That’s why I keep on looking For another way to begin So come on help me find out Search with me, you cannot stop me searching Will this journey never end Will I always have you as a friend I saw a light shining far across the sea I heard a wing beating slowly on the wind The night was dark But I saw a spark Shining far across the sea Now that I know that I don’t know I will go on my way again Now that I know that you’re still breathing I will go on my way again Into the night Wind wind road… I saw somebody climbing slowly up the hill Dark was the night but you carried on going Yeah the night was dark But I saw a spark Moving slowly up the hill Now that I know that I don’t know I will go on my way again Now that I know that you’re still breathing I will go on my way again Can you feel it? Some strange tingle is filling up the night And all these colours echo round the sky I never thought this world could be transformed Until it was You showed me a world as well
