Splendid Soldiers
05:19

Follow me, I’ll show you the way
Out of this blue
Out of this blue
Fall into me
And drown inside me
I know you will see
The beauty of me
Now you see
All that I can be
I know you will
The beauty of me
Tired are you splendid soldiers
Tired are they here they go
Tired are you splendid soldiers
Tired are they here they go
Now you see
All that I can be
I’ll hold all your pain
Just say my name

I am Winter
03:14
|

I'm here in the deep end
I’m here in the field
I’m here by the water
Hold it like a shield
I’m here where it’s winter
I’m here in the dark
I’ve been here forever
Waiting for your spark
Follow me far, far, far
Follow me far, far, far
Follow me far, far, far
I’ll meet you there
I’m here on the dark side
I’m here in the cold
I’ve lived amongst shadows
My story untold
I’m here and I’m winter
My souls is now dark
I’ve been here forever
Longing for your spark
Follow me far, far, far
Follow me far, far, far
Follow me far, far, far
I’ll meet you there
Follow me far, far, far
Follow me far, far, far
Follow me far, far, far
I’ll meet you there

Pieces
02:57
|
|||
Your eyes say sorry
Your mouth wrong words
I don’t want to be loved by you
Through all those closed doors
I’m thrown in darkness
Your heart swings open I can’t reach though
Revolving doors
Your soul is silent
And I’m in pieces
Your soul is silent
And I’m in pieces
You guard off sadness I fight for touch
Is this enough?
Or just too much
Your soul is silent
And I’m in pieces
Your soul is silent
And I’m in pieces

May the Angels
02:47
|

May the angels
Bow down for you
And lay their feathers
Beneath your feet
May the angels
Fill your emptiness
Guide and lighten
Up your path
But I can’t
And I won’t
May the angels
Show you their boundless love
Like the mother
Not the wife
May the angels
Soothe and ease your pain
May the angels
Instill a will
But I can’t
And I won’t
I’m leaving
I’m healing
I’m growing
I’m loving
‘Cause you won’t
And you can’t

The Chair
01:45
|

I once carried a man until I no longer could
I broke down and I told him
You should
But first I got him a chair so he can sit while I explain
(Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it. Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it)
And to make sure he’ll listen and show me some care I cared for him so he will know how to
And I hadn’t yet spoken nor drunken a sip
We were told to move on so I shouldered him gently
(Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it. Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it)
For another woman who had carried a man until she no longer could Needed a chair to sit him to tell him he should
Until you break that chair
Wait for you fellow woman to talk To love
To laugh
To embrace
To rest
That circle won’t be broken
(Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it. Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it
I don’t know how else to describe it
I don’t know how else to move on
Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it
Burn the tools, break the chair, make a fire and gather round it
I don’t know how else to describe it
I don’t know how else to move on
I knew very well to describe it
This is how we will all move on

Laura

Laughter don’t come cheap
Their love it don’t run deep
Laura, Laura
You and me we’re simple people
Love and laughter and loyalty seeking
Seeking
You and me
Laura, Laura
Your embrace is soft
And so are you
Your touch is soft
And I am too
And in a concrete town like this
Their cynical heart will break Laura
Laura, Laura, Laura

The Runner
01:51
|

The runner is busy
Out of breath
The runner is you
The runner is you
The runner is angry
The runner’s red faced
The runner is you
The runner is you
You’re in the runner’s way
Runner, Runner
You’re in the runner’s way
The runner is right
The runner is driven
The runner’s convinced
You’re in the runner’s way
The runner is busy
The runner has work
The runner is you
You’re in runner’s way
You’re in the runner’s way
Runner, Runner
You’re in the runner’s way
Move over woman
You’re in the runner’s way
The runner’s unaware of the fabric of your care
The runner’s impatient
Out of breath
The runner is you
The runner is you
You’re in the runner’s way
Runner, Runner
You’re in the runner’s way
Woven by Women, Worn by Men
Woven by Women, Worn by Men
Woven by Women, Worn by Men
Woven by Women, Worn by Men

Fishermen

Swim like a fish in the ocean and don’t get caught by the fishermen
They’ll only put your dreams in boxes and sell them back to you in cans

From far they have travelled
These wind unraveled
The threads of my
Past dreams
From far they have travelled
These wind unraveled
The threads of my
Past dreams
From coast to coast
They’ve collected thoughts
They carry loads
I’ve never heard of
From far they have travelled
These wind unraveled
The threads of my
Past dreams
From coast to coast
They’ve collected thoughts
They carry loads
I’ve never heard of
What are we troubled brother
What are we troubled mother

It's Been a While
00:50
|

It’s been a while since I’ve worn that dress
It’s been a while since we left a mess
It’s been a while; it has just simply been a while
It’s been a while since you read my thoughts
It’s been a while since we have not fought It’s been while; it has just simply been while
That’s all
