First Light
01:27

I want you to be
The first light of my day
Waking up
Early Morning
It's okay
Cause I'm under the low desert moon
I want you to be
The first light of my day
I've been bathing in the first
Light of the day
Oh, of the day

Lady Red

You don't see me trying
You dont see me crying
And now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
You dont see how I feel like a fool
I was a fool with your love
Thinking back on these lonely nights
I was a fool to believe, that it would last
Now I'm sitting here, thinking back on these lonely nights
I can't believe it's come down to this
I guess our love was a swing and a miss
Oh lady red (lady red)
Just forget what I said
Anybody could see through me
But you're not just anyone
But you're not just anyone
Oh no,
You're my lady red
I was a fool with your love
Thinking back on these lonely nights
I was a fool to believe, that it would last
Now I'm sitting here, thinking back on these lonely nights
All your love, with your love etc etc
I was a fool with your love
Thinking back, on these lonely nights
Oh I was a fool to believe, that it would last
Now I'm thinking back on these lonely nights
I was a fool with your love
Now I'm thinking back on these lonely nights

Mountain Dreams
04:41
|

When I fall asleep at night
I dream of a life, oh I dream of a life
Where I live alone, I stay unknown
I stay unknown
Down beside the flowing stream
I cant shake this dream of mine
I'd have a quaint
Four walled hut
Keep the bugs out
Keep the door shut
Oh I,
I'd grow my own veges with a little bit of luck
Just me and my place and my truck
Keep it simple
Just take what's required
I'd keep it easy
This concrete city's expired on me
On me, It's time for me to leave
I'd lead A Quiet Life
In the mountains, I'd live it right
I'd watch the evening stars in the sky
As They float on by
There's no reason, to ask them why
I'd float in the sky with you
Beg my mind please tell me it's true
Wake up at the crack of dawn
I'd stretch smile and yawn
Take in the beauty of the birds and the trees for a while
Oh a little little while
Heat a coffee and have my brekkie in the clearing
Sunshine kissing my cheek
It melts my heart, leaving it tender and weak
Oh tender and weak
I'd lead A Quiet Life
In the mountains, I'd live it right
I'd watch the evening stars in the sky
As They float on by
There's no reason, to ask them why

Seismic commotion
We burn in slow-motion
Forgive me for wanting
To dance away the weekend
I want to find a bay so quiet, just me and the ocean
I want to live a life that's a riot, constantly in motion
Stuck between my life and my dream
The urban smog has an influence so it seems
We've got 12 years left to live
Till' the world bursts at it's seams
Seismic commotion
We burn in slow-motion
Forgive me for wanting
To dance away the weekend
Seeing as we have so little time
I want to get lost in your eyes
Hold your hand and slow dance
Through the early hours of the morning
Maybe maybe we could
Make a plan
But I doubt we'd make a difference
We'd be like anybody
Who has a clue
Fighting the dollar signs of the world
Seismic commotion
We burn in slow-motion (we burn in slow motion)
Forgive me for wanting
To dance away the weekend (dance away the weekend)

Scrambled Messages
05:02
|

I've been searchin'
For a reason
To get you off my mind
and Now I've got my wires crossed again
I'm Getting scrambled messages from my last best friend
I've been waiting, oh I've been waiting for so long
To hear your song
Oh it feels good, yeah it feels good
To see the light again
I don't want these, these memories to fade away
Baby to fade away
I don't want these, these memories to fade away
Baby to fade away
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
To walk right through your door
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
To walk right through your door
Going through these, these memories
Of how we used to be
Swimming in the sea
Thinking of those, those better times
I'm searching for the words to say to you
Warm summer nights, dreaming of you, I'm dreaming of you (I'm dreaming of you)
These tender moments are running on a loop
I can't believe it's true
I can't believe it was you
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
To walk right through your door
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
It takes a minute for love to kick in (to kick in)
To walk right through your door

Talking In Circles
03:56
|

These days I've been acting like the enemy
With my love standing right in front of me
I'm sorry I'm going blind with jealousy
Picturing a life without you there beside me
I shouldn't phone you cause I just waste your time
I shouldn't phone you cause I just go in circles
I shouldn't phone you cause I just waste your time
I shouldn't phone you cause I just go in circles
The morning rain beats down on the window pane
I'm trying to help it but I'm still losing the game
Waking in bed sheets we both went out to buy
Today feels like the day we say goodbye
I shouldn't phone you cause I just waste your time
I shouldn't phone you cause I just go in circles
I shouldn't phone you cause I just waste your time
I shouldn't phone you cause I just go in circles
I shouldn't phone you but I probably will
I shouldn't phone you but I probably will
I shouldn't phone you but I probably will
I shouldn't phone you but I still probably will

Evening Shadows
04:02
|

I see the skyline
Cradling evening clouds now that you're around
And I write that I miss you
Everytime we talk
Everytime we talk
We'd wake up and we would talk
As the morning starts it's slow paced walk
Till' the evening shadows paint your face
Forget the murmurs of yesterday
And I'm scared admitting
Just what i'm feeling for you, I think that I adore you
But these days, I'm chasing
The feeling you provide me now you're here beside me
We'd wake up and we would talk
As the morning starts it's slow paced walk
Till' the evening shadows paint your face
Forget the murmurs of yesterday
Evening Shadow
I'm chasing you
I'm chasing you
Evening Shadow
I'm chasing you
I'm chasing you

As the sun takes
It's final breath of the day
As the amber shades
Cloud what I say
Holding on to the last light
Before the concluding night
As the memories of the day
Fly into the sky
In this evening limbo
Reflections of you in every window as I walk home
Past the primrose
I adore you
Please don't go away
I want you to stay

Symphony Of Streetlights
05:52
|
|||
I walk alone
In the night
I'm walking nowhere
Just me and myself
Looking for somewhere
There's music playing tonight
With a drummer that's locked into the groove just right
Trying to find the beauty between all of these streetlights
When I find it I'll know that I'm home
Walking downtown where the right-wing kids wear summer clothes in winter
But I'll watch the water glisten in the moonlight
It sparkles the way your eyes used to in mine
A symphony of streetlights
Surround you and me
Surround you and me
Dance in the moonlight
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
I want to learn to play the keys
So I can play just what I mean
Can't trust the downtown boys in their black suits and ties
I can hear them say if we can't sell it how will we get paid
It pathes the way for streetlights to illuminate their trade
Breaking bread off the backs of those living between the cracks
You can't have taste if your palette's defined by cash
It just doesn't work like that
It just doesn't work like that
So I'll stay between the streetlights
And watch them shine through the night
Watch them shine through the night
They would shine the way your heart used to with mine
A symphony of streetlights
Surround you and me
Surround you and me
Dance in the moonlight
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
A symphony of streetlights
Surround you and me
Surround you and me
Dance in the moonlight
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
A symphony of streetlights
Surround you and me
Surround you and me
Dance in the moonlight
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
