Island
03:55
|

The birds have fallen silent
I sit staring at my hands
The water flows around me
But doesn’t cool the burning sands
Storm-tossed and broken
Washed up on the shore
I don’t want to live on this island anymore
The day is slowly fading
Sunset rides the ocean swell
What was once a refuge
Has become a prison cell
How I came to be here
I’m no longer sure
But I don’t want to live on this island anymore
I slip beneath the surface
Too defeated to go on
Nothing left but scattered pieces
When the tide has come and gone
The waves once gently rocked me
Now they leave me feeling raw
And I don’t want to live on this island anymore
Storm-tossed and broken
Washed up on the shore
And I don’t want to live on this island anymore

Lighthouse
05:12

Floating out here on my own
I’ve been drifting, far from home
On this ocean I have been becalmed
No sense of forward motion for so long
But you shine, shine, shine your love around me
Reaching out, to guide me to your shore
You are my lighthouse and I know
You're here to bring me home
My horizons seem so far away
So I choose a new direction everyday
With no harbour I am forever lost
Regretting every line I ever crossed
But you shine, shine, shine your love around me
Reaching out, to guide me to your shore
You are my lighthouse and I know
You're here to bring me home
Out here the silence is profound
Words disappear without a sound
But your heart calls to me so sweetly
I know you love me so completely
You can see me
Hear me
Feel me
Shine your light into my soul
And make me whole
But you shine, shine, shine your love around me
Reaching out, guide me to your shore
You are my lighthouse and I know
You're here to bring me home
And you shine, shine, shine your love around me
Reaching out, guide me to your shore
You are my lighthouse and I know
You're here to bring me home

Butterfly
03:16
|

In my mind you're a butterfly
I see your colours slowly passing by
As you float through my life
Like a butterfly
Where I am there are no straight lines
Crossing paths in the fading light
Here and then gone from my side
Like a butterfly
The good days
And the bad days
I can't tell the difference anymore
I'm stuck inside
I'm trying to find a way to you
Beyond these walls
Then the memory fades
And you drift away
Like a butterfly
Being with you takes me out of time
All the distance and the warning signs
Never catching my eye
Like a butterfly
And I could tell you if the words came out right
You weave together all the lows and highs
And then you take flight
Like a butterfly
The good days
And the bad days
I can't tell the difference anymore
I'm stuck inside
I'm trying to find a way to you
Beyond these walls
Then the memory fades
And you drift away
Like a butterfly
The memory fades
And you drift away
Like a butterfly

Almost Over
04:14
|
|||
So long ago, I can still clearly picture it
A crossing of paths seemingly by chance
But we both know there are no accidents
A moment can shape all our future plans
Falling for you, it was all kinds of wonderful
You gifted me things I never realised I lacked
Thinking that I’d simply found a lover
You turned out to be so much more than that
But I’m starting to feel our time is almost over
The things we knew are all coming to an end
But we lived a life, we’ve wrung it dry
There’s no reason for regret
Our time is almost over my friend, my friend
How many times did we take on the universe
Trusting our hearts to be our only guide
But none of it would’ve been of any consequence
If I hadn’t had you there by my side
But I’m starting to feel our time is almost over
The things we knew are all coming to an end
But we lived a life, we’ve wrung it dry
There’s no reason for regret
Our time is almost over my friend
My friend
My friend
Our time is almost over
Our time is almost over
Our time is almost over
My friend
My friend
