Deary Me

There’s something in your hair
I wonder how it got there
Your feet were red as wine
You know I’m feeling fine
Any other day
Every other year
My mind it will decay
If I keep on growing near
Deary me I used to feel so fried
You and me we need to work on lying
I used to know which way’s west
Deary me I need to work on flying
You’ll hit the top
While I hit the bottle
My mind it’s like a mop
I’m going full throttle
Sunday afternoon
Breakfast’s coming soon
Me I just don’t know
What have we got to show?
Deary me I used to feel so fried
You and me we need to work on lying
I used to know which way’s west
Deary me I need to work on flying
Me, I don’t know how, I don’t know why
I just can’t say
And you, you’re like a race, you can’t be won
I just don’t know
Deary me I used to feel so fried
You and me we need to work on lying
I used to know which way’s west
Deary me I need to work on flying

Paper in the Rain

When it’s dark, it’s just the same as when you leave the light on
Except you can’t see anything, what does it mean?
If you fight for a freedom that’s been dwelt upon for years
No night on Earth will compare
I still can’t breathe right
Your solemn face in candlelight
Winter springs, you don’t feel like you have spent enough time
Alone with things, prove that everybody’s kind
I hear you sing, hear you sing to all the people that have lost
What joy it brings, but also sadness all the same
I speak and move like wildfire
The one thing left is my desire
I see the moon clutching onto the sea
I feel the rain soaking through my bones
Night falls, and Edinburgh glistens like a golden cage
Expect it all, when it all comes down don’t be ashamed
Every time that I meant to say what I mean to say
It all falls apart like paper in the rain

I See the Light

I’ll take my flock down to the sea
We’ll sail away and we’ll make believe
The truth it seems is plain to see
If I were gone would you care for me?
I bought my ticket and I skipped on through
If they were me would she be you?
The winter waves are all the same
Your eyes, a lion’s den I’m tamed
I was with you yesterday
And I feel like missing home
Nothing has a way
Of creeping up on you
After hours we’ll find our spot
And if it sticks give it a shot
The clouds were a painting in the sky
If you don’t know won’t you tell me why?
I was with you yesterday
And I feel like missing home
Nothing has a way
Of creeping up on you
I feel the past and the power to be
I feel the fire and the flames feel me
I feel your sorrow and your pain
I see the light and the light sees me
I was with you yesterday
And I feel like missing home
Nothing has a way
Of creeping up on you
I was with you yesterday
And I feel like missing home
Nothing has a way
Of creeping up on you

My Walk Home

If you want to be unruly
I don’t know if I will catch you when you fall
People help you, they don’t need to
The crippling fear that I don’t know nothing at all
Solitude is just a feeling
Every little piece of me is drawn to you
Silence hits me like a fever
The beauty of it is no-one notices you fail
My walk home is covered in stories
Thoughts and dreams that are scattered by glory
The fear of knowing that you are leaving
I’m growing impatient for when the future might begin
Reassurance that I’m in company
Real people that want to know about it all
In the worst days you’ll realise who
Wants to use you and who will love you through it all
An unknown person will point the way
If you are lonesome they will help you find your place
My walk home is covered in stories
Thoughts and dreams that are scattered by glory
One last chance to reconsider
Before I leave here and let it all go down the drain
The perfect answer is non-existent
All I want is for you to be here next to me
My walk home is covered in stories
Thoughts and dreams that are scattered by glory
