Better make my mind up and go
There’s three in this bed
And when the little one says
You’ll kick me out
So I’m on the road
Does this seem strange to you?
I forgot to ask
But I cannot recall
Not knowing your face so well
So for now I’ll ride
Keep it on the inside
In these mornings
Of perfume and light
I leave you sleeping
As I take flight
And I remember words
Said not to me
By a man of years
That I could never see
He said “wake up young man
For you’ll rue the day
That you let her leave
Without hearing her say
Goodbye”

Wine dark seas are bloody
Something said about therapy
Swell it was at the river’s end
As it was where the seas began
Woah, better drop sticks and wind her out
Better waters, higher seas
Play my heart and stretch it then
This loser’s nailed down all anyway
Running Thrumcap and I’m afraid
Not the chop, not the solitude
Woah, better drop sticks and wind her out
Better waters, higher seas
Forgive me, I’m here on my own
I used to dream, the colours shadows throw
The quiet that silence won’t know
I’m drawing perfect pictures in the snow

Big Mouth
Work at it my big mouth, yellow belly
Ain’t nothing gonna help you now
Where were you when I was grieving?
Finally the sky is clearing
And finally I can use my eyes
Where were you when I was leaving town?
You wanna cry, wanna cry, wanna cry, or
You gonna die, gonna die, gonna….uh oh
Fence up, heads down gonna make it through
Stand up and be the man you always wanted to
No doubt in this mind you can
You wanna cry, wanna cry, wanna cry, or
You gonna die, gonna die, gonna….uh oh
You wanna cry, wanna cry, wanna cry, or
You gonna try, gonna try, gonna….uh oh
So what if you want it now
So what if you want this now
So what if you me now - so what if you want me now?
Wanna cry, wanna cry, wanna cry, or
You gonna try, gonna try, gonna….uh oh
So work at it my big mouth, yellow belly
Ain’t no-one gonna help you now
Where were you when I was leaving?

Freight Train
I’d have cried, I’d have cried for less
And I’d have died for the both of us
There’s been a wrong
A strange war of sorts
I took the wrong road on the right ride
Wrap your life around my neck
Until my birds fly free
I heard a freight train left the rails
Pick up your bones, your frozen voice
Tracks cross the view of inevitable choice
I’m bleeding dust, rust rolls from my eyes
Dry rolling tongues, wheres your story now?
Without knowing why I fell
Or if I did right by you
I heard a freight train left the rails
I’ve seen a lot of world, mistook a lot of love
Wound back the clock on some fights I’ve won
Roses poured from you when rocks I threw
You wore out my heart with your worn out heart

Catch Your Ride

Catch
Never knew how you learned
To live life to regret
how it had all gone down
To drive you round the bend
We were all running low
On words to make you smile
But I have no regrets
It was you who new best
It’ll be your time this year
Never thought I’d succumb
Go catch your ride
And I need no strength, to love you
Just a fish you caught again
It’ll be your time this year
The on and on…
Seabird’s in dry dock
At the side of the road
With a for sale sticker
Could you take her home?
And I’m back in dockyards
Where shuffle takes me
Again and again
In the form of a father
Do you miss your North American?
It’ll be your time this year

Only One
Switchblade emotions, take me for a drive
We’ll cry, laugh, cry
Only ask my health at five to one
You’re sad, sad, sad
Won’t let you take me down again
There is only one who can tell the difference
Hear it like you do
Never will there be another
There was only me, there was only me
There was only you
Fulfilling prophecies we thought were overblown
You rush in, out
Have you been reconfigured?
You’re sad, sad, sad
This one won’t carry you again
There is only one who can tell the difference
Hear it like you do
Never will there be another
There was only me, there was only me
There was only you

Cups
This evening’s hanging heavy on my hands
Winter’s glove and falling aspect
I spend my days pulling stones out of your shoes
Some are old, some are borrowed, some are new
I should have turned back many miles ago
I float like driftwood on a one way road
It’s sad when heart-shaped leaves begin to fall
We grow close so far away
The winter seems so long without you
The sad songs of Autumn hang heavy from me
The mornings seem darker now you’re gone
And echoes of echoes are all that I breathe
We were meant to tear it down not build it up
All I see is shallow water
I guess you were only sticking to your lane
It’s just a shame you carried home the blame
The winter seems so long without you
The sad songs of Autumn hang heavy from me
The mornings seem darker now you’ve gone
And echoes of echoes are all that I breathe

Let This Lie
I’m standing in your doorway
But you cannot see
You’re heavy in my pocket
But still I don’t believe
With your sweet somethings you are talking to me
You’ll never stop although we’ll never be
As he sets flowers on another’s grave
We wait for news of you
Drink coffee from a stranger’s cup
Don’t let this lie will you
Be the brightness in my night
I’ll take your beer stained smile
Before I’m away into reality of dreams
Try and find me but you won’t recognise
As he sets flowers on another’s grave
We wait for news of you
Drink coffee from a stranger’s cup
Don’t let this lie will you

Could you say what came first
The leaving or losing
Think this could be the start
Of the great unravelling
Would you lay with me
Until my bones grow soft
I never thought this would be
The place where I would find the end
So much is left unsaid….
They used to race around
You can’t find the end
They used to race around
You’ll never stop
They used to race around
And you’ll never find what’s real at all
I’m watching from outside
And looking in on you
But I haven’t cleaned the glass
For so long that you’re just a blur
Open your eyes to see
The one there all along
Dance like the town hall clock
Those figures never meet at all
So much is left unsaid...
They used to race around
You can’t find the end
They used to race around
You’ll never stop
They used to race around
And you’ll never find what’s real at all
Oh…..
What came first, the leaving or the losing
I think this could be the great unravelling
Where once was harbour we dwell
Our new found land
Where once you sailed from I sit
Where sail you now?

Oh Smile
My red eyes show you I ain’t been sleeping
Ain’t been dreaming either
Guess I’ll leave you in the morning
Watch you sleep until the dawn
Wake up and I’ll be gone
Oh smile
Where do you hide?
Only see you now in sadness
But where you were there’s lines
Guess I’ll leave you in the morning
Watch you sleep until the dawn
Wake up and I’ll be gone
Oh smile
My red eyes
Wake up and I’ll be gone
