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
