The One I'll Always Love
03:24
|
|

I spent all my time waiting for his love
To come back round again
Longing for his voice to call me out afresh
Far from the ruins and far from a moment’s regret
When I fell out of the arms that I held
Oh you are the one I’ll always love
Hope was here right in the moment
And right in the valley you feared again
Longing for your dreams to call you out afresh
Like a child you’d spend your days in fearless steps
So I called out to the one that I stalled
Oh you are the one I’ll always love
I spent all my time waiting for his love
To come back round
Oh you are the one I’ll always love

Silver Birch

You, you're all I need
Wake at the break of dawn, feel the sunlight calling me
Put on my favourite dress how it sways in the morning breeze
Wander to your bedroom door, look into my mother's eyes
No sense of what’s to come but I realise
You, you're all I need
Wake at the dead of night, feel the darkness fall on me
Wander down the stairs in fright, why does it always cling to me
Where does it all come from, look into my father's eyes
No sense of what’s to come but I realise
You, you're all I need

Water

|
|

|
When the lights go out
I will take you to the place
Lie you down on the water
When the lights go out
I will look upon your face
say my vows at the altar
What if you are the one for me
When the sun comes out
I will take you by the hand
Lead you down to the shallows
When the sun comes out
From the darkness we will stand
No longer bound by our sorrow
What if you are the one for me
I will always love
If loving you only from afar

Treasure
03:36
|
|
||
|
Watch a bird fly through the air
Sweet abandon with you there
I know this love is found in you
For what reigns in you rains down on me too
There is a land hidden with treasure
Radiant in light forever and ever
There is a love beyond all measure
All of your life you have wondered
What do you do to find your joy
An eternal spring you can never destroy
I find my truth in what you say
I know you’ll lead me to my sacred place
Watch a child run naked barefoot
Down the streets of the dreams she dares
Proud of the scars that shape her call
Of the love she feels and the love she shares with all
There is a land...

Baby Let's Fall
03:31
|
|
||
|
I’ve got this instinct with you
There’s just something you do to me
Something you do
And I’ve got this feeling about you
There’s just something you do to me
Something you do
Baby let’s fall, baby let’s fall
Baby let’s fall in love like they do
I have this dream about you
Where you unfold your deepest fears
And desires too
I’ve got this feeling about you
There’s just something you do to me
Something you do
Baby let’s fall, baby let’s fall
Baby let’s fall in love like they do
It's just desire

Summer Nights

Summer nights I’ve been waiting for so long
For you to come back to me
Winters come and still you linger on
like the dawn out at sea at sea, I see I see
But it's hard to find what was on his mind
When he led her out so high
And it’s hard to know the right way to go
But it all comes down to love
Summer nights I’ve been waiting for so long
For you to come back to me
Winters come and still you linger on
like the dawn out at sea at sea, I see I see
Cause I know this love is written in the heavens above
I know its pulled on my heart
And all of these days in all my ways
I’ll sing your love, your love
Summer nights I’ve been waiting for so long
for you to come back to me
Won’t you come back to me

Waiting
03:31
|
|
||
|
As I watch me walking away
All my eyes well up and I almost say
That I love him again
And I start to wonder like I wondered then
Can I find as good a lover as a friend
Oh I am waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
You hide in the dark afraid who you are
I have witnessed your falls somehow never far
And I can’t help wonder like I wondered then
If you're as good a lover as a friend
Oh I am waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
Oh I will mend you when you break
And oh I will sing you lullabies when you wake
'Cause you are the one I want

Grieve
03:23
|
|
||
|
Do you grieve me like I grieve you
Do you grieve me like I grieve you
But nothing I say and nothing I do
Can bring back you, can bring back you
But nothing I say and nothing I do
Can bring back
Do you dream me
Like I dream you
But nothing I say and nothing I do
Can bring back you, can bring back you
And nothing I say and nothing I do
Can bring back
Oh bring back you,
But nothing I say and nothing I do
Can bring back you

Don't You Wanna Be Loved
04:33
|
|
||
|
Don’t you wanna be loved
How can I see you
If you never seem to let me in
No wonder I doubt you
Could handle the truth under your fickle skin
How do you stand so tall
Inside your shaking
Under your make-up I see you suffering
Oo don’t you wanna be loved
Standing at the crossroads
You try to decide which way to go
Back towards the treeline
Or through your doubts to pastures unknown
Oh when you sleep at night
You remember what he said
Underneath the blankets you heard his lips confess
I just wanna be loved

Night and Day
03:19
|
|
||
|
There is one thing I desire
I want this love to take me higher
Follow the son and you will never be deceived
Spirit and heart philosophy
So won’t you love me baby
I can show you the way
'Cause I wanna love you night and day
There is one thing I require
I want this love to transpire
Seasons and time into the very world of our minds
Come with me now and we can soar
So won’t you love me baby
I can show you the way
'Cause I wanna love you night and day
And when the morning comes
I’ll lay my head on your body
And watch the sun dance in speckled light
And when the evening comes
I’ll lay you down my honey
And it will be alright
So won’t you love me baby
I can show you the way
'Cause I wanna love you night and day

Caught Out in the Rain
03:50
|
|
||
|
Caught out in the rain and you blame me it falls
But I see your shame, shame us all
You look to the sun but don’t exude its rays
And I can’t wait for a different day
There’s a fire in my heart
It won’t fall and it won’t part
It’s the one that leads us on
It’s the wind to my sails
When I’m cold and sometimes frail
It’s the one that leads me on
Caught out in a fire and you blame me it's there
but I see your sparks fly everywhere
you look to the east but I am standing west
and I can’t sleep I must confess
Come like the wind wash this old horizon
Come with your fire like never before
Come with your hope wash this ancient wasteland
Feed us with love like never before
There's a fire...
