First Light 02:23

Underpin 03:07
I lost my love today In the bitterest of ways With wilder oats I'm sewn Through generations down It's not about how we feel Day to day Under the douglas tree There was a gift for me I lost myself today In a myriad of ways With wilder oats I'm sewn The generations gone It's not about how we feel Day to day You give and I receive - There's no other way for me And we march to the beat of our youthful recklessness Oh what a mess! Did your mother tell you? Did your father warn you? Don't let your culture show you that! It's not about how we feel Day to day It's not all about how you feel

Trace 03:19
Plastic bags and dish rags And all peculiar things that are not ours I trace our two left palms The lines are kind of vague Oh the outliers In my head I had to lay you to bed because you Come and you go as you please And you do it with a disconcerting ease You fade away Silly thing - boys will be boys But I know some men Who would fight to their death for them And I've been swimming more times than I care to tell I'm the best ten pin bowler I've seen all of the movies from Cohen to Warner, but You fade away And in my head I had to lay you to bed because you Come and you go as you please And you do it with a disconcerting ease You fade away And you left behind the blame And you left behind the blame And you left behind the blame And you left behind the blame And you left behind the blame And you left behind the blame I think you left behind your name

Interlude 02:08
You fade away, this time... And you're in deficit There is an iron weight, a sadness And now I'm here to love And I am full - He loved me first I see you're chained away You live with a violent thirst Intrepid and aware Yeah I'm on clouds - He loved me first And you're in deficit There is an iron weight, a sadness And now I'm here to love And I am full - He loved me first I see you're chained away You live with a violent thirst Intrepid and aware Know one thing - He loved us first

Isobel my love come down to the sea I'm still trying to dig down through the dust and the dirt It has deformed our purity 'Cause when silence comes She's a blade in her fist And a line in-between us When I was a child I talked like a child And I walked with two windows - Wide eyes preoccupied on the blazing city sky And when night time drew close We'd lie and be held I wouldn't lie to myself or any other to get me there Come on and be my cherubim I've been waiting for somebody to let in But you do keep hiding from it You're vacant You're vacant It's your vacancy You're vacant You're vacant Come on and be my cherubim I've been waiting for somebody to let in But you do keep hiding from it

Roving 04:03
Caught in-between with every action that you take I'm a waif in the wind Now I can see my fate: Wasted are years working on something new It's not what you say - it's what you do And nothing's leaping forward to allay all my fears of you It's what you do Now you're onto me You want two for one but there is a price to pay And it won't delay And I can't help but feel like the pawn to your king Slowly drifting What is this we have here? Too many wasted Wasted are years working on something new It's not what you say - it's what you do And nothing's leaping forward to allay all my fears of you It's what you do And now you're far from me And I have so many voices Rocking in their own way Golden glazed leaves Autumn dancing Rising warm breeze Hear the everlasting Hear the everlasting Hear the everlasting

Resound 04:07
I lost a dear old friend the other night I couldn't bring her back no matter all my might She qualified my depths of mind With tears and laughter of the kind A room full of stars and some papers around Left me sober when I picked her from the ground I tried to revive but the words were too strong My tongue kills her And now she lives in a sullen love song An idol slumping on his sunken throne Is vulnerable underneath all that Testerone One fragile human only flesh and bone Brittle bearing all that's said and done A blow to head left a million to blame As they bathed in his light and then snuffed out the flame They tried to revive when they saw it was wrong But a thousand bad words made a dirge of his song I lost a dear old friend the other night I killed her with my harbouring heart in all its spite She qualified my deepest fright - I'm just the same try as I might A room full of stars and some papers around And the ring of the bell left a terrible sound I tried to revive but the damage was done My tongue killed her And now she lives in a sullen love song

Race down from the top And I can feel my body sway all out of phase Into a nebulous haze For I am you And you are earth Oh the clarity The high stakes, our monies break How we relate Stars for eyes when 'I' is not here A child of knowing uninhibited by fear And what remains in this crazy cluster Without the aches and the pains? For I am you And you are earth Oh the clarity The high stakes, our monies break How we relate And I am endless, and I am endless And I am penned in negatives And oh, oh I'm ready to give And I am endless, and I am endless And I am penned in negatives And oh, oh I'm ready to love And I am endless, and I am endless And I am penned in negatives And oh, oh I'm ready to live And I am endless, and I am endless And I am penned in negatives And oh, oh I'm ready to love

I Am 04:15
Come out of the water Come out of the blue Let me hold my child There's nothing more for you to do That's not what we fought for Not the scene we drew Well you scream and you fight but I still love you I Am The First and the Last I am expansive And I'm always waiting for you to come home I Am Who told you a fable (pleasure and pain to a pointless cause)? You're still young and able But you carry yourself as an overcome force I Am The First and the Last Incongruity does not live in me One day when all will see: I AM I wait on the horizon And I'm blazing in your way I can see the embers rising And I long to hear you say: "Step in - set in motion and come back Step in - set in motion and come back Step in - set in motion and come back Step in - set in motion and come back" I'm reaching out my arms here to meet you Hold you where you are I'm satisfied in all your faults and your failings I loved you from the start I'm reaching out my arms here to meet you Hold you where you are I'm satisfied in all your faults and your failings I loved you from the start I'm reaching out my arms here to meet you Hold you where you are I'm satisfied in all your faults and your failings I loved you from the start I'm reaching out my arms here to meet you Hold you where you are I'm satisfied in all your faults and your failings I loved you from the start
