Guess if we stay 'til it's done
I wont need to lay it down
Oh baby I wont forget it
Your head upon my belly
As all the perils withdraw
That's the beat I'm working from
Ye, uh you're covered in buds
They're making me cry
There's a sting in the air
The girl with the thorn in her side
So now if you're the princess
Who am I to second guess?
Did you know I'd settle for less?
You make a fine thing in your white dress
Now that's as far as we made it
The flowers were killing my eyes
Your knuckles were hiding blood suckers
The planet subsides
We're back on the road
A plentiful night with the girl
The girl with the thorn in her side

Love I'm coming back
04:32

Pinch the rust and peel it back
Winch the stone from the ground
You've been the habit way too long
Not always been a lucky one
Summer faces me again
I am lost in your olive hand
Love was easy in the meadow coursing
Reel it back in you dirty thing now
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back
Home
You've got the lovely hands
I rated all your bouncing
Take of a medicine man
Places so far from me listed
You're quiet and I like it
Simply divided
That's like me I'm too undecided
Where I am or whether I like it
But lady I'm all yours now
Can't help but feel assurance
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back home
I've got a hook up
Love I'm coming back
When you face me I have a hook up
Love I'm coming back
When you face me I have a hook up
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back
Love I'm coming back home

Everyone who sought power was stripped of their badge
Even this song prevents me from the act
And the people all voted with the pull of their hearts
To find those devoted to the pull of their art
And with the subtle grace of falling snow
Their music covered the land
Like a covert assassin climbing the ranks
On the day he is made the king's hand
Rise up rise up waking dreamers
Creators of time
Your canvas is existence
And your colours are life
And the thrones of man grew dusty and cold
If ever a metaphor for the old World there was
In long forgotten corridors occasionally sounds a sigh
How funny to think those foolish beasts
For freedom would lay down and die
Rise up rise up waking dreamers
Creators of time
Your canvas is existence
And your colours are life
Rise up waking dreamers
Rise up waking dreamers
And the choir sang and the sails fell
In communion heaven rejoiced
To know from now our saviours are
Those with the purest voice
And the choir sang from every ledge
A melody pure and sweet
For the quiet song of falling snow
Finally fell at their feet
Rise up rise up waking dreamers
Creators of time
Your canvas is existence
And your colours are life
Rise up waking dreamers
Rise up waking dreamers

Force of Nature
03:36

Elsewhere
The World sighs
A willing bow
No compromise
My tomb in these tangled times
A morning sounds
I take a flight
May the force of nature permeate my grave
I'm on my way Baby
Let's stay for a while
Elsewhere
Elsewhere
The World sighs
A mourning bird
No compromise
In rain wasted on the crowd
Only ever two steps from you
My name
Listen
Smile, Baby smile
Let the force of nature permeate my grave
I'm on my way Baby
Let's stay for a while
Elsewhere

Spanish Sun

Spanish sun
Spent a day feasting
My way through the grove
Leafing tobacco
Holding a pattern
A hand in her hip
I’ve seen this before
The ocean is pushing
A seed to the shore
Cutting my feet
Blood is the sky
The pharaoh is driving
Then asks for a song
Casts a net wildly
Castanets rising
Hoping to catch
River John
Spanish sun
Opaline vapour
Waters azure
The argermone moan
Roll into the shore
Lark gives me hash
Recovering plastic
The deluge is arcing
And spits with a splash
Feeding the wild pigs
Iberian ham
One is due courtesy
And driving us mad
Mercury rising
Conceiving with you
The silence is pregnant
Just thinking it through
River john
River john
Spanish sun
Spanish sun
My heartbeat is rhythm
A simple drum
The eyes in my night
The skin in my sun
Just cos you didn’t
Don’t mean that you did
Without what there isn’t
Can’t be what there is
River John
River John
The sky bleeds a rhythm
The heaven is dripping
The summer is given
A shape and a form
From solstice is static
The spark is a magnet
Accumulates flesh
And then takes to the sun
The light is enveloped
And tide is propellant
The culmination
Of a circular thrum
To each is a candle
She reaches the handle
Opens and says
River John
River John
River John
River John
River John
Spanish sun
Spanish sun
Spanish sun
Spanish sun

Lay With Me
04:47

All I gotta do is make some time to sit back down with you Baby
And all my troubles melt away
All I gotta do is look you in the eyes
And I know just what to say
So lay with me
So lay so lay with me
Honey sometimes I swear you must be made of song
Cos' everytime you're near me I just can't help but sing along
So lay with me
So lay so lay so lay
Lay with me
Baby if you were a meadow
I would lay down on your lawn
And if you were the shallows
I'd go sifting through your sand
And if you were the night sky
I'd run naked through your town
And if you were a memory
Well I'd need you back around
So lay with me
So lay so lay so lay
With me
Sometimes I swear you must be made of song
All I gotta do is pick up my guitar and I can't help but sing along
I need to make some time for that
Baby I know it's been away too long
Everytime you sing with me Baby
Oh, you make me feel so strong
So lay with me
So lay so lay so lay
With me
Ain't nowhere I wouldn't go with you
Walk you over the edge of the World
And if you had a big sailing ship
You know I'd be the first to get on board
And now I got you in my arms
Ain't no way I'm letting go now
"Come on" says your eyes
"I will take you to the promised land"
So lay with me
So lay so lay so lay
With me
So lay so lay so lay so lay
With me
So lay so lay so lay
With me

The Best I Can
05:22

I don't need to be your king
I don't need to be your best friend
I don't need you not to lie to me everyday
I just need you to know who I am
You've been making this life with me forever
You and I walk side by side
When I'm lost you are a beacon
And a shoulder when I cry
But since the clock has kept on turning
And I'm still stood right where I am
Have you lost your faith that this is certain?
Oh honey I can only do the best I can
Honey don't tell me that you're tired
Being tired don't make you blind
You must have seen how far that we've come lately
You must believe the man I am
I know our time has been so very very hard
And we've been living hand to mouth
I know I've asked for your support and faith
That we can make it despite the evidence we can't
But since the clock has kept on turning
And I'm still stood right where I am
Have you lost your faith that this is certain?
Oh honey I can only do the best I can
I know there's only so much anyone can offer
I know what's destined isn't written in the stars
But babe if your conviction starts to falter
Just remember who we are
Cos' I would hollow out my entire soul for them to listen
I would give everything away
I would run to the edge of the World for them
But I need your faith to stay
But since the clock has kept on turning
And I'm still stood right where I am
Have you lost your faith that this is certain?
Oh honey I can only do the best I can

I Hope You Know

I hope you know I need you to tell a beautiful story
There is no truth outside the conversation we hold
I don't want all of your nightmares
When I can have your light
I don't want all of your fears
But I'll take them if you smile
I don't want to cry
It's too beautiful a life
It's too beautiful a life
It's too beautiful a life
I hope you know I need you to tell a beautiful story
There is no truth outside the conversation we hold
Tell me it's alright
Tell me to keep my chin up high
Tell me there's still time
I don't want all of your nightmares
When I can have your light
I don't want all of your fears
But I'll take them if you smile
I don't want you to cry
It's too beautiful a life
It's too beautiful a life
It's too beautiful a life
