Don't Come To Play
02:50

I drink the wine as it flows to me
To figure out what I’m supposed to be
I look upon the fields of ease
And what their heaven could do for me
I know I’ll come to rue
The things my master makes me do
But the fear is this
What shall I miss
If I don’t come to play
I wear the rags laid out for me
And keep my body loyal and clean
I could stand for hours now
Just to wait and see
I know I’ll come to rue
The things my master makes me do
But the fear is this
What shall I miss
If I don’t come to play

There's nothing that I would not do, for you
There's nothing that I would not do
To keep you from feeling
Unhappy to be by my side
Unhappy to live with my life
And holding you close, I lean in
And tell you I'm doing alright
There's nothing to make you ashamed, I say
There's nothing to make you ashamed
Of being someone thats
Unwilling to hold back your tongue
Unwilling to believe it is wrong
To be painting your shell bright and wild
Your beauty belongs to no one

What I Had Done
02:13
|
|||
|
I have opened up my soul for you
I have told you many truths
Its not easy giving out advice
That wasn’t necessary at first
We should pack our things in solitude
Essentials that we won’t forget
For the hills so delicate and grand
Shall address our loneliness
I’ve been so honest that I’ve hardly slept
For fear of foolishness and carelessness
First I was overwhelmed by weightlessness
Before I knew what I had done

Dear, Dear Annie
02:11

|
Dear, dear Annie my dear
No other could ever replace you
With your soft brown eyes
And your breath in the night
Each lover who longs to embrace you
Dear, dear Annie my dear
A man has no right to demand you
But given the chance
Even rebels will march
If only, as they say, to confuse you
Dear, dear Annie my friend
Is rapture the end that enthrals you?
There never was love
Not between us
I was always too dumb to amuse you

Depths Of July
01:51
|
|||
|
The more that you know
The less that you'll need to find out
Cause once in a while I get down
But I'll be back up real soon
Just as soon
As I pull my old wheel on back
From down in the depths of July
Today I feel sorrow
But I'll only borrow what hurts me
Cause once in a while I get blue
But I'll always be thinking of you
Just of you
And how many times we have thought
But never got stuck or got caught

A bright and wondrous evening
The kind that lingers on
I see each bird as they’re leaving
And I know that nothings wrong
A daring dream of rebirth
Are the pods that line the hedge
The path beneath the hanging
Wisteria from the ledge
Gliding, beautiful hornet
With a belly that is so full of love
Readied with your stinging arrow
To strike upon us all

Through the praise of waking up
Beneath a dwindling light
Sifting through the shifting blinds
A sight, I know, to be right
A song, a song for all to sing
To make the whole place listen
A dream I saw with lucid eyes
Of warbling heats that blister
Delighted when I knew you'd come
But saddened knowing you would go
To dreaded plains all pink and bright
With fields and rivers lilac
A thought I thought would ever-last
But reality is ticking
She sets in and holds my throat
To tender iron branding
Duty is the final call
To arms and then to battle
Sheltered in my one true home
Herded in like cattle
Your arms they sway me like a boy
I never knew I once was
And know I'll steal a second seed
To plant beside my orchard
One day the dust shall rise again
And cover every object
Every item of my time
Categorised as dying
Fear is just a thing I say
Whats inside is much bigger
The weakest, dullest, saddest truth
Is something we inherit
Lasting every night to come
Is every remnant of destruction
Looking back but nothings there
To hold in thumb and finger
Maybe someday I'll be found
Beneath my heaviest stone
But nothing will be left of me
Except my crumpled bones

Splendour Of The Light
01:33
|
|||
|
We have spent this night
With our loving so entwined
I see the fury of the glory still in sight
And the beacons up on high
They have hit on sorrows stride
But we won’t cower neath the splendour of their light
Oh my, lover
You are kind and you have been good to me
Oh my, lover
You are kind and you have been good to me

I Try, I Do
01:04

These are the days that I offer to you
Nothing green, nothing blue
There in the sky is a cloud just for you
Soft and careful, the light passes through
And I try, I try I do
I try, I try I do
I try, I try I do
I try, I try for you
