I don’t know ‘bout glory
I don’t know ‘bout fate
Do you still want to know me?
Don’t tell me it’s to late
Heard that God had failed you
Saw the heavens break
Fool among the pales, blew
The glue that seals the gate
I don’t know ‘bout glory
I don’t know ‘bout fate
Do you still want to know me?
Don’t tell me it’s to late
So I’ll sit and wonder
So I’ll make a change
But I’m not growing fonder
There’s a piece inside the rain
I don’t know ‘bout glory
I don’t know ‘bout fate
Do you still want to know me?
Don’t tell me it’s to late

You Tell Me

Do you remember
When we sang together?
I was a boat, I was lost in your sea
We would go walking
Could feel the boat docking
But my only care was for you loving me
Loving me, you loving me
My only care was for you loving me
Never quite settled
The keys to the metal
Matter of fact we were barely home
He smokes what you give him
Hopes he’s forgiven
You’ll let him off ‘cause you love him so
Love him so, oh love him so
You’ll let him off ‘cause you love him so
You tell me what you want…
I hear you crying
Crying for someone
That doesn’t mean anything to me
A beauty in sadness
You’re not so bad, miss
Clear your mind, it’ll set you free
Set you free, oh set you free
Clear your mind, my love, it’ll set you free
Clear your mind, my love, it’ll set you free

Hollows

Turn around to make sense of it all
Walk away if you start to fall
Feel the ground that you walk upon
Expect nothing more
On repeat, that’s how I show it off
Try to sleep, oh I know it’s tough
It’s crystal clear, yeah it’s smooth and soft
Get yourself off the floor
If you’re feeling obscene
Like a cog in the machine
Take it easy, give it time, time, time
A hollow gesture springs to mind

Whole

If you love yourself enough
To make it right when it’s all tough
Then you should know
That it all comes around
If for some reason you don’t feel
Like any love you feel is real
One day you’ll see
That you aren’t on your own
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
Serendipity is real
As real as any of the meals
That you will find
Keep turning up again
And when the joker and the thief
Come knocking at my door, good grief
I’ll feel alone
Like I’m on my own again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I wish that I had an excuse
To take my neck out of the noose
That ties us down
Holds you to your own
When the daffodils have died
I wish that I had maybe tried
To let you know
That I’m on your side
On a Sunday I walk past
The fearing folk that have a blast
When they aren’t home
When they are far away
I feel you crawling up my spine
A spider or a porcupine
Is not enough
To make you understand
That I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I'm feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again

Summer and the weather is fine
Summer and the weather is fine
Any way the wind blows, that’s the way the river flows
Summer and the weather is fine
Problems of a worried man
Problems of a worried man
Resting on your shoulder, leave it till you’re older
Problems of a worried man
Summer and the weather is fine
Summer and the weather is fine
Any way the wind blows, that’s the way the river flows
Summer and the weather is fine
Wait until the sky turns blue
Wait until the sky turns blue
Sunrise it will cover you, sisters and your brothers too
Wait until the sky turns blue
Summer and the weather is fine
Summer and the weather is fine
Any way the wind blows, that’s the way the river flows
Summer and the weather is fine
Worries will all fade away
Worries will all fade away
If you find a lover, take her under cover
Worries will all fade away
…
All I’m waiting for is you
All I’m waiting for is you
Tell all of your friends to, wait until the sky’s blue
All I’m waiting for is you
Summer and the weather is fine
Summer and the weather is fine
Any way the wind blows, that’s the way the river flows
Summer and the weather is fine
…
Summer and the weather is fine
Summer and the weather is fine
Any way the wind blows, that’s the way the river flows
Summer and the weather is fine

Wolf in the Woods

Fear
I’m still standing here!
Hold in every day
And joy
Joy surrounds
Me and you
I was howlin’
Saw me cowlin’ now and then
Shaken broken
Wake and hope there’s nothing left to mend
Alone
A wolf in the woods
Tree falls down
To think
That you’re my handful
Shields the wind
I was howlin’
Saw me cowlin’ now and then
Shaken broken
Wake and hope there’s nothing left to mend
I’m lost
On my own
Mind when you see me fade
The cost
Of being alone
No one here when I’m afraid
I was howlin’
Saw me cowlin’ now and then
Shaken broken
Wake and hope there’s nothing left to mend
Walking past
Other people
How do you breathe?
Oh, I don’t think I
Want to leave here and work it out myself
I was howlin’
Saw me cowlin’ now and then
Shaken broken
Wake and hope there’s nothing left to mend
I was howlin’
Saw me cowlin’ now and then
Shaken broken
Wake and hope there’s nothing left to mend

Still Looking

You and I, you and I
Me and you, me and you
I have to say I was surprised
I have to say you make me new
Round and round, round and round
Back and forth, back and forth
Once again I was confound
Once again I wanted more
I tell myself I’m cooking
I tell myself I should
Tell other people I’m not looking
But I’m still looking
Start again, start again
Take two, start anew
It’s funny that we’re even friends
It’s funny that I know you
Different pages, different wages
It shouldn’t be as it is
I’ve no seen you in ages
When you don’t see you start to miss
I tell myself I’m cooking
I tell myself I should
Tell other people I’m not looking
But I’m still looking
Who do you see in me?
Who do you expect me to be?
I’m just here to let you know
That it’s all for show
And it’s all for free
It’s at end, at an end
Turn the page, turn the page
Look at me I can’t pretend
I’ll see you at a different stage
I tell myself I’m cooking
I tell myself I should
Tell other people I’m not looking
But I’m still looking

Go With the Flow

Oh my love!
I’ve been loosing my sleep
Trying to keep it together, but I can’t keep it forever
Oh my home!
I’ve been counting my days
Thinking up ways to be alone, like a phone that’s never phoned
Be the one that cares
Love she’s fine and fair
I don’t know how to go with the flow
How to let it go when my bones don't grow
Like they used to
Oh, like they used to
Oh my sleep!
Can you help me find?
Been losing my mind most nights, sing along and you’ll feel alright
Oh my feet!
They’ve been searching the town
Dragging me down today, but I’m sure I’ll find a way
Be the one that cares
Love she’s fine and fair
I don’t know how to go with the flow
How to let it go when my bones don't grow
Like they used to
Oh, like they used to
Oh my days!
I’ve been solo
You gave me somewhere to go, you’re a fire in the frost
After all
There’s a light in the dark
A crucible spark, it’s the feeling that keeps us on
Be the one that cares
Love she’s fine and fair
I don’t know how to go with the flow
How to let it go when my bones don't grow
Like they used to
Oh, like they used to

I feel delirious
You know I'm serious
I want to know
When you're coming home
It's so much easier
When you feel queasier
To just let it go
Once for all
If you find me on the floor
I'll say again once more
I'm feeling whole
Like I've never done
A different circumstance
When you don't want to dance
Just let me blow
Your mind
Let the moonshine
Let the moon glow
Let It all fall apart
As it sails down your throat
Let the moon find
Let the moon go
Let the thunder take hold
You're the strings to my bow
The food that's on my plate
Will be a real estate
Sit down and chew
You’re skin and bones
And you will take control
The borders and patrols
And let me in
Let me know
When the night has ended
We'll kid on we pretended
To have a home
Let the moonshine
Let the moon glow
Let It all fall apart
As it sails down your throat
Let the moon find
Let the moon go
Let the moonshine
Let the moon glow
Let It all fall apart
As it sails down your throat
Let the moon find
Let the moon go
Let the thunder take hold
You're the strings to my bow
