• 1 Sunlight

  Winter has come back ‘round

  Its time

  For me to skip this town and drive

   

  The years been good to me

  I Don’t

  Want to tempt catastrophe by sticking ‘round.

   

  White lines & sunlight

  You cant hit a moving target

   

  I’m going to start a band

  And drive

  All over this wide land

   

  I’ll be singing songs

  Forget what I’m runnin’ from

   

  And I hope you’ll wait for me

  back east

  You’ll keep the light on there

  And the sheets on our bed made and clean for me.

   

  White lines and sunlight

  You cant hit a moving target

   

  You are delicate

  And you’re the one that turns me on

  But chasing the horizon

  Aint no way to rest your bones

  Before you know it

  I’ll be coming home

   

  White lines and sunlight

  You cant hit a moving target

  Blue days and black nights

  I’ll search until I’ve found it

  Forever mine

  I’ll be home before you know it.

• 2 Wine & Consequence

  A letter from the queen

  As far as I’m concerned

  She spoke of wine and consequence

  Of love and lessons learned

   

  And if I could I’d run until I fell to get her back

  But London’s much too far away for that

   

  My letter to the queen

  Was long and overdue

  I spoke of guilt and broken things

  I wish I could renew

   

  And if I could I’d scream aloud till she came running back

  But London’s much too far away for that

   

  Oh the same sun is shining down upon us all

  If I could write on it in letters wide and tall

  I’d say “I wont give in no matter how long you are gone”

  No matter how long you’re gone

   

  And you’d know it was for you

   

  A letter from the queen

  In a code I’d like to learn

  She spoke of time, companionship

  And reaping what we’ve earned

   

  And If she said she loved me

  I’d whisper that I love her back

   

  But London’s much to far away for that

  And Dublin’s much to far away for that

  And Rome is much to far away for that

   

  Oh the same sun is shining down upon us all

  If I could write on it in letters wide and tall

  I’d say “I wont give I no matter how long you are gone”

  No matter how long you’re gone

  How long you’re gone.

• 3 Amber's Lullaby

  I had a dream that we were flying

  I had a dream and you were there

  And in the dream we started falling

  But you were never even scared

  No , you just took me by the hand

   

  I had a dream and we were sailing

  Out on an Ocean made of light

  And everything we touched was glowing

  We illuminate the night

  We illuminate the night

   

  The world is big

  And we are small

  But I don’t even mind

  In our dreams we’ll see it all

  And we’ll go traveling through time

  So rest your head and close your eyes

   

  I had a dream and we were walking

  Through a field so far below

  The mountains all around us towering

  And they were made from solid gold

  They were made from solid gold

   

  The world is big

  And we are small

  But I don’t even mind

  In our dreams we’ll see it all

  And we’ll go traveling through time

  So rest your head and close your eyes

   

  Your bed is made your sheets are ready

  And you are tired from the day

  I’ll sing a lullaby my darlin’

  Till sleep takes you away

  Until sleep takes you away

  You’ll wake up to a brand new day

  My darlin’ go in dreams and play.

• 4 It'll Be Awhile

  I’ve been feeling like the world is ending today

  There was smoke and there was fire it was all in my brain

  I took a risk, took a chance but it didn’t work out

  I feel the work-a-days on the train staring me down

   

  It’ll be awhile but I know that I’ll be fine

  Just stay the course and take the falls

  It just takes time

   

  You called me up you said, “I’m feeling like a leaf on the sea

  Time go’s so fast the only thing I can remember is leaving”

  I feel it too and I’ve searched through every bar in this town

  For a drink or a pill that will help it go down

   

  It’ll be awhile but I know that I’ll be fine

  Just stay the course and take the falls

  It just takes time

   

  I know it can be hard

  When you’re chasing days

  When the sun is setting it is rising once again somewhere

  So in the morning lets do nothing till a quarter to three

  And then we’ll walk down by the harbour and look back at the city

  We’ll watch the clouds, and the boats, and the plane’s as they fly

  We’ll think of ways to stop us feeling like were saying goodbye

  All the time

   

  It’ll be awhile but I know that we’ll be fine

  Just stay the course and take the falls

  It just takes time

  It’ll be awhile but I know that we’ll be fine

  Just stay the course and take the falls

  It just takes time.

• 5 Satellite

  I’ve been

  Roaming the world like a leaf on the sea

  Following currents and chasing the breeze

  There’s salt in my eyes

  And I’ve no idea where I’ve been

   

  The satellites fly

  Over above me like the stars they shine

  I feel that it’s you looking down from their eyes

  It fills me with hope

  That you go wherever I go

   

  Oh, my love and my life

  Keep me by your side

  I feel that I’m sinking

  And love

  For what it is worth

  I’m roaming the earth to find us a better life

  So stay with me satellite

   

  The shore finds me

  Deep in the darkest night and now I’m blowing

  Up through the forest and over the tree’s

  Wherever I go, your somewhere above me I know

   

  Oh, my love and my life

  Keep me by your side

  I feel that I’m sinking

  And love

  For what it is worth

  I’m roaming the earth to find us a better life

  So stay with me satellite

   

  The tree’s clear

  I’m now in a town that looks so familiar

  And everything that we could need I right here

  I’m searching through windows

  I’m trying to find you

  And everyone knows you

  But no one has seen you

  I think I might know where you are

   

  Oh, my love and my life

  Keep me by your side

  I feel that I’m sinking

  And love

  For what it is worth

  I’m roaming the earth to find us a better life

  So stay with me satellite.

• 6 The Sailor Song

  I feel like a shivering child

  I’m watching the day turn to night

  The wind’s a policeman

  Telling me “Go back inside”

   

  I thought about chances I’d missed

  This cant last forever oneday something will stick

  As the twilight twirled above our heads

   

  I would give anything for someone who’d listen

  And I would give anything for someone who’d care

  I’ll write you a love song and then tear it to pieces

  So no one will ever hear

   

  Now the sailors have all come ashore

  As the waves beat the boats on the moors

  Now that their back I cant see the horizon no more

  I keep finding letters all water logged washed on the shore

   

  I would give anything for someone who’d listen

  And I would give anything for someone who’d care

  I’ll write you a love song and then tear it to pieces

  So no one will ever hear

   

  Maybe I’m a castaway

  And there’s a search party looking for me

  Making a fire with twigs and old leaves when they see the smoke

  They think it’s a cloud that they’re seeing.

   

  I’ve still got nothing to show

  until I teach myself how to build boats

   

  I would give anything for someone who’d listen

  And I would give anything for someone who’d care

  I’ll write you a love song and then tear it to pieces

  So no one will ever hear.
