A Poison Tree
03:35

I was angry with a friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end
I was angry with a foe
I told it not my wrath did grow
I watered it in fear
Night and morning with my tears
With the soft deceitful wiles
And it grew day and night
Till it bore an apple bright
And my foe beheld it shine
And he knew that it was mine
Into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree

Like a Storm
04:28
|
|||
|
We thought we would not grow old
And call one another home
And yet we were unafraid
Fear not, your last moments alone
Holding softly, the ages of our youth
Early mornings, fables wrapped in truth
And it comes around here, Autumn, Winter to the Spring
Summer’s long gone now, empty halls of stone
Finding darkness, over by the sea
Winter’s closer now, water ebbing here
Dressed in colours like storm
Low, lowly; Shadows we have left
You were the earth tomb, fade into the dawn
Quickly find me, rolling truths and ancient stone
Reaching closer now, bright to be atoned
Dressed in colours like a storm
Now you go Dear
No more can you be here

Rest in Time
03:48
|
|||
|
A door we open, unwittingly
Onset by a storm
This helpless fragility
And nothing more
I met you some time before
Thrown together like a spark
You and I were hidden
By the cover of the dark
Rest in time, oh my brother
When no more can you be here
Wait in time to discover
That we have been freed here
The silence in this tragedy
Brings beauty to this wound
We stand amidst the emptiness
We’ll be together soon
Rest in time, oh good mother
You have earned what you seek now
Wait in time, we’ll uncover
That we have been freed here
Rest in time, oh my beautiful lover
May you find what you need now
Wait in time, as one bound to another
For we have been freed here
We have been freed here

Run Together
04:28
|
|||
|
When I go, gonna take the long way home
You and I, wandering on alone
Right from the start, wandered in the dark, followed in my head
Hear the shadows call, for another day
Head hurts, body is an empty shell
You and I, nobody tell
It’s gonna take some time to wake up, find me in an empty bed
Til the tide rolls in on another day
You know we run together, so fast not looking back
You know we run together, we never run alone
Lights roll on, body broken, the sun has spoken
Until we find we are awoken, but still alone
You know we run together, so fast not looking back
You know we run together
We never run alone

Earth Was Never Ours
04:03
|
|||
|
Fall within time you can erase
Seek you an ordinary place
To know you, to know you
All we are, waiting to arrive
Leaving in darkness, fill the sky
To love you, to love you
Lost in the endless time and space
Overwhelmed by a light we can’t erase
In the dawn, rise a fear we can’t escape
This earth was never ours

Wake Me When It's Over
02:59
|
|||
|
Wake up feeling older
When the dawn comes around
In this moment, colder
Shadows on the ground
Never make a sound here
When you call around the corner
For a long forgotten line
Memories start to falter
A withered forlorn rhyme
Tells tales of wasted time
Hold me where I am
Don’t wait another minute here
If I go where you are, give all I can be
I know you will stay
And wake me when it’s over

Anybody Out There
04:40
|
|||
|
Won’t you meet me by the old oak tree
Oh my darling, wait for me
Leave your troubles where they be
Leave your worries wait for me
Wait for me
Little darling say you’ll come on home, when you don’t know where
You’re gonna be, and there’s no light on waiting at your door
Wait for me
Come on home
Leave your troubles where they want to be, we’ll open up
Just you and me, and we’ll take off where we left before
Come on home
Oh Forlorn, in Shadow hidden behind
Is there anybody out there
Don’t deny me, lonesome, waiting to find
I want anybody out there, anybody out there
Wait for me
Little darling say you’ll come on home, when you don’t know where
You’re gonna be, and there’s no light on waiting at your door
Wait for me
Oh Forlorn, in shadow hidden behind
Is there anybody out there
Anybody out there

Away From You
03:06
|

Cold year, wandering, aimless and old here
It’s the same scene, just like before
Always, waiting for you to believe, dear
The familiar, foretold
Say what you want to I know who you are
Restless in heartache, you’re holding me far
Away from you, away from you
And it’s all just the same
An old friend, wandering in on a cold wind
I prepared for you, to arrive
Always, waiting for you to believe dear
The familiar, foretold
Say what you want to, I know who you are
Restless in heartache, a wandering star
I told you before, this is all I can be
I had nothing left, and you took it from me
Here once again, I Have taken the ride
Used up and wasted, you left me behind
I’m away from you
Away from you

Fall Down
05:32
|
|||
|
Wait in line
You’ve come so far now
Come to show, you wait for me here
I can be your comfort, restless waiting to hear it all
In time, you’ll know dear
Fall down so far, I am here now
Wandering far, measured in lonely moments
Of who we are, and where to follow
I find you here, amidst this endless waiting
Look for me, and I am yours dear
Fall down so far, I am here now

Warm Wood, Cold Heart
03:29
|
|||
|
The fight will come and then it goes, you see me standing here below
It’s clear I’m with you
Everything I want to say very slowly slips away
It’s true I’m with you
Warm wood cold heart
Where can we start
And if you know
Set it down and let it go
Tell me what I want to know
The fight is raging on below
I’ll find a way I will not hide
Soaring far across the sky
Won’t you be my alibi tonight
I’ll fade away
Warm wood cold heart
Where can we start
And if you know
Set it down and let it go
