SONGS & LYRICS
.jpg)
Once upon on a time I wrote songs and played them. I always thought of myself as a writer rather than a musician, and music just happened to be the medium I wrote in.
Lyrics are below, and you can listen to the songs via Soundcloud.
TANGLE (listen via Soundcloud)
This time gonna listen right
For certain, gonna fall a little
Breakdown, eyes mouth shut tight
Tonight gonna hear that whisper
Come on now, come without it
Take me in, dance around it
​
I'd say, I'd say we're blood now
Just a call, I didn't mean to wake you
Let our abiding laughter sound
And a tear for an ever after
Come on now, come without it
Take me in, dance around it
​
Tangle, wrapped up in white sheets and skin
So beautifully bridled
I forget my breath as I look down
It's a harbour, when you're invited
Come on now, come without it
Take me in, dance around it
​
One goodbye, one hello, eyes shut tight, now I know
​
BLESSED IN BLUEÂ (listen via Soundcloud)
If you're gonna fall, fall tonight
Don't wake before morning light
The rags you wore, they could never taint therin
The riches found, that's how I thought, that's how I fell
Party to a ride, feel a miss
Part of me could never picture this
A cryin' shame, I can feel your tears like wine
I've ever known, there is none so cruel as time
​
Feels like I've lived this for the thousandth time
I watch their passing out parade, I fall to you
I'm blessed in blue
​
Will you raise a smile when all is passed
Remember this - it was all I had
A silent witness, way too proud or just too dumb
One more hard night, another season on the run
​
ALL THESE NIGHTSÂ (listen via Soundcloud)
Lost in the rain in this province where the streets like rivers, flow
I know the walls that hold you
It's our time, let's go
​
This town is breaking, and all my thoughts they stray
All these nights I'm dreaming, it all comes down in rain
​
Don't you want to stop fighting?
Don't you wanna feel at home?
You look so pure when you're sleeping, angel-like, not alone
​
All the hours are crawling for a soul aflame
All these nights I'm dreaming, it all comes down in rain
​
Don't be fooled now, It's alright now, we're all watching you outside
KILL ME GOODBYEÂ (listen via Soundcloud)
Can you feel the shaking, must be something to do with the rain
We can shut it all outside, please don't lie
There's a time to be late and there's something just under your skin
Caught the smell of the diesel and dirt, don't it hurt
​
Kill me goodbye, no don't you cry
Don't you keep me waiting
These foolish things, it is how it is
Don't you leave it faithless
​
Don't take this trouble from me, God knows you've got enough of your own
Touched by Sunday one more time, it's a crime
Come on and leave your mark on me I've got the time and I've got the need
Everything that you want right now chases doubt
​
We were never so far from from ourselves that we couldn't find what binds us in here
​
Don't let the light in just yet, i just want to lay here a while
Be everything, be nothing, but be adored
If I needed would you run, would you crawl would you come back down here
Lazy, scared and alone - is this all that we'll be?
ABEL AT LASTÂ (listen via Soundcloud)
My legs were shaking as I reached out across the table for a light
You and i, we pay the price
For those memories that were not mine
We'll keep paying for their past
Til we bury Abel at last
​
How many days were taken
Your skin laid bare
What price another tear shed
For every friend out there
You and i, we pay the price
For those memories that were not mine
But my heart it pulled me through
Past the ghost of Abel to you
​
Ah, she's such a sweet thing but never quite at home
Such a dreamer's dreamer
Yet so politely right
And she dances halfway between the sun and the moonlight
To hold everything she says, is to hold nothing at all
We made home before first light
Feeling close is feeling alive
One last hope we've yet to cast
Still to bury Abel at last
