Rise
03:37

I fear what you want from me
What I’d give to see
Who I’d be unafraid
But heartache is in me now
And the whole world somehow
Floats in such a haze
Childhood memories
In the shade of trees
Bathed in golden light
Places I know I’ve been
And I’ve gone back again
But with different eyes
To search for the peace I found
But it’s not with me now
In such heavy days
To hope simply like a child
In this world so wild
Could be our saving grace
Fear’s what it gave to me
But I’ve come to see
That it has no sting
If hope’s underneath it all
And you rise when you fall
That’s everything

Overcome
02:54
|

|
Don’t turn away my love
Here at the start
To leave all you have known
Is the hardest part
But it’s the same it’s always been
How we crave the end
But we don’t know where to begin
So we cling to what we know
Oh
Rest easy now my love
For all you’ve done
You’ve come so far above
You’ve overcome
But it’s the same it’s always been
Oh, the more you learn
You know the less you understand
So don’t cling to what you know
Oh
But oh my heart can take no more
Holding to the past
The truth is not behind one door
No, it is bigger than that
Oh, it’s bigger than that
Oh
Rest easy now my love
Here at the start

The Way You Can
04:24
|
|||
|
I cannot hear it
The way I did
The silence fully
Encompasses
And it’s overwhelming
I don’t understand
I just can’t hide it
The way you can
There’s something broken
Somewhere within
The more I hold it
The more it slips
And if it’s over well I’ll
Try and understand
But I just can’t hide it
The way you can
Will someone tell me
Is this all there is?
Will someone show me
Where to begin?
I know it happens
That good things end
It’s all around us
Yet unexpected
Still it’s overwhelming
And I can’t just start again
I cannot hide it the way you can
No, I, the way you can
The way you can

Down the Line
03:00
|
|||
|
Well high time lingers on
You can feel it in the wind
And though we may be gone
Our paths may cross again
I saw the rising sun glitter in your eyes
If the golden days should come
I’ll see you down the line
Spring is coming up
You can hear it in the fields
As the river rolls along
Oh, how could this be real?
A howl at the moon will catch you by surprise
And the golden days will come
I’ll see you down the line
But it’s all been said before
Nothing’s certain
That’s for sure
So honey take good care
And you’ll be fine
Whoa, I’ll see you down the line
I saw the rising sun glitter in your eyes
Oh, the golden days will come
And I’ll see you down the line

When We Come Back Down
04:36
|
|||
|
You and I set the world on fire
Rose above the sun
Took it even higher
But now it feels like dancing on a wire
Well honey I ain’t scared
And I ain’t tired
When we come back down
From where we are now
We’ll still be flying with our feet on the ground
Maybe we’re hopeless
And up in the clouds
But love’s gonna hold us
When we come back down
Every night a sky full of stars
And there’s no way we can go too far
Some might say we’re stumbling in the dark
But that’s okay
Who cares where we are

Pieces
04:24
|
|||
|
It’s the little things that hold me now
It’s the sunlight through the door
The way the gold pours through the glass somehow
The way it moves across the floor
And, oh just like that I fall to pieces
Beneath the light of the glow
And I can’t go back over all the reasons
I’m at the end of my road
It’s a slow walk through the garden now
It’s the flowers in the wind
It’s the carefree way they grow without
Any fear of what has been
And, oh just like that I fall to pieces
Beneath the weight of a rose
And I can’t go back over all the reasons
I’m at the end of my road
I can’t go back, no
I can’t go back
I can’t go back, no, no
Oh just like that I fall to pieces
Beneath the weight of it all
But now I’ve seen that there is strength in weakness
It’s not the end of the road
Oh just like that I fall to pieces
Beneath the weight of it all
When you’ve come through that
Then you find a reason
It’s not the end of the road

Hills
04:12
|
|||
|
Let the water come down
From the well, from the well
It’s been dry for so long
In these hills, in these hills
Oh, I’ve seen the sky I’ve seen the ocean blue
I have walked through valleys, felt the wind move
Hold my hand for tonight
I’m afraid I can’t sleep
I wear my heart open wide
All my fears and all my dreams
Though the night goes slowly dawn will take its time
And what are we to make of love and loss and life?
Well I, I won’t back down from the riddle of it
I’ll find my way
I’m not satisfied in the middle of it
There’s more to say
In this life if I fall shall I rise, or shall I weep?
If I give it my all and I fail am I weak?
Oh the flame that burns inside you starts to fade
If you refuse to get back up and just hide away
So I, I won’t back down from the riddle of it
I’ll find my way
I’m not satisfied in the middle of it
There’s more to say

One More Day
03:43
|
|||
|
Another night’s gone
Another day
And I can’t seem to find the words
Of what it is, dear, I want to say
I just need to find it first
But if it’s too late now to turn around
If you’re on your way
Please don’t say it out loud
Just lay me softly down
And give me one more day
Well, it’s alright honey
It’s okay
I know you have done your best
I know you lose some
And some you win
I just don’t know about the rest
But if it’s too late now to turn around
If you’re on your way
Please don’t say it out loud
Just lay me softly down
And give me one more day

Wrong Side of Town
03:49
|
|||
|
Well nobody can reach me
With my head in the clouds
I know I’ll be somebody
No matter how hard they try to pull me back down
Saying you were born on the wrong side of town
Born on the wrong side of town
So quit your daydreaming for crying out loud
You were born on the wrong side of town
And so I’ll pack up my suitcase
And go sing for the crowds
And I hope fortune will find me
So I don’t get lost before I am found
‘Cause when you’re born on the wrong side of town
Born on the wrong side of town
You can leave if you want to but there’s no getting out
When you’re born on the wrong side of town
And now somewhere behind me
I hear them whistle and shout
They’ll go and tell everybody
He grew up right here and we are so proud
Oh, when you’re far from the wrong side of town
Far from the wrong side of town
They’ll cheer when you’ve made it and say they had no doubt
When you’re far from the wrong side of
Wrong side of town
When you’re born on the wrong side of
Where are they now?
You were born on the wrong side of town

Supposed to Say
03:21
|
|||
|
I remember falling, it was all we had
I remember falling, right up against
I remember falling, it was all we had
I remember falling
What am I supposed to say when it all comes down
What am I supposed to say now
What am I supposed to say when it comes back down
What am I supposed to say now
I remember falling and the way you said it
I remember falling, slightly ahead
I remember falling, it was all we had
I remember falling
You and I have gone our ways but if we come back down
You and I’d be on our way now
What am I supposed to say when it comes back down
What am I supposed to say now
What am I supposed to say when it comes back down
What am I supposed to say now
What am I supposed to say when it all comes down
What am I supposed to say now
What am I supposed to say when it all comes down
What am I supposed to say now
