With Love From a Friend I’m writing a letter that I’ll never send From the edge of my memory, time without end And I’ll sign at the bottom ‘with love from a friend’ ‘with love from a friend’ I’m telling a story, there isn’t a plot There’s a sequence of moments, and that’s all I’ve got I don’t know what it is but I know what it’s not I know what it’s not I’m searching for something just out of sight I look in the dark for a pin-prick of light But I cannot see past the deep of the night the deep of the night I’m writing a letter that I’ll never send From the edge of my memory, time without end And I’ll sign at the bottom ‘with love from a friend’ ‘with love from a friend’

It’s raining all over the world What did we do my friends, it looks like the end? It’s raining all over the world We saw a brighter day but we let love go Now it’s raining all over the world, it’s raining all over the world What did we do my love, what have we done? It’s raining all over the world I held you tight my love but you let me go Now it’s raining all over the world, it’s raining all over the world Who filled our hearts so full of love? Then made us feel like our love’s not enough?’ What looks so hard could easily be A reflection of something your heart truly needs Love overflowed and it all ran away Till the sky once so blue turned a deep shade of grey, grey, grey… What did we do my friends, it looks like the end? It’s raining all over the world, it’s raining all over the world It’s raining, it’s raining, it’s raining, it’s raining, it’s raining all over the world, It’s raining all over the world The sun and the moon and the stars in the sky Shine down on us all, it’s not just you and I And the rain falls down on everyone Rain falls down on everyone It’s raining all over the world, it’s raining all over the world Who filled our hearts so full of love? Then made us feel like our love’s not enough? Who made us feel like our love’s not enough…?

Too Fast 05:14
Too Fast We raced down country lanes Too fast Black ice and stupid games Time passed We watched as the tide rolled in Too fast Building fires and drinking gin Time passed We were too young to know what we were doing It’s just how it is, it’s how we all live Way too fast Lost ourselves growing up Too fast Somebody ran out of luck Time passed Love came then slipped away Too fast So many shades of grey Time Passed We were too young to know what we were doing It’s just how it is, it’s how we all live Way too fast The world’s a great big mess it’s mad We can’t catch the truth as it rushes by So, so, so, so sad So, so, so sad We walked along the beach We searched for something just out of reach We tried so hard to understand Scratched our names into the sand And we raced down into the sea I was chasing you but you caught me And all that we had got washed away Sky of blue and sea of grey All that we had got washed away Sky of blue and sea of grey We were too young to know what we were doing It’s just how it is, it’s how we all live Way too fast We live our lives too fast…

I met an angel today I met an angel today I said I feel so alone He said look all around you All that we have is today There's no such thing as alone Take a good look around you I'm here and you're here right now And everything's beautiful My eyes meet your eyes right now And everything's beautiful now Right now I met an angel today I said it's all such a mess He said wait for the future I didn't know what I should say I should have got his address Looked him up in the future I'm here and you're here right now And everything's beautiful My eyes meet your eyes right now And everything's beautiful now Right now I met an angel today I met an angel today I'm here and you're here right now And everything's beautiful You laugh and I laugh right now And everything's beautiful My eyes meet your eyes right now And everything's beautiful now Everything's beautiful now Everything's beautiful now Right now

The moon obscured the sun I remember you from a lifetime long ago You were standing in the kitchen in your summer clothes I couldn’t find the words to say What I should have told you yesterday You and I were watching the dust dance in the air The sunlight behind you threw rainbows in your hair I couldn’t find the words to say What I should have told you yesterday You and I said nothing much and nothing much was done The summer when the moon obscured the sun It’s all insignificant, the dreams we never spun The summer when the moon obscured the sun I remember you from a lifetime long ago Frightened into silence by the things we didn’t know We couldn’t find the words to say The love we should have spoken yesterday You and I said nothing much and nothing much was done The summer when the moon obscured the sun It’s all insignificant, the dreams we never spun The summer when the moon obscured the sun The summer when the moon obscured the sun The summer when the moon obscured the sun

Forever Falling He talks about the feeling of falling The joy in every moment at the start He’s unaware she feels it as he's speaking The joy that can overwhelm your heart She feels it still She feels the thrill She's forever falling … It’s a perfect storm of miscommunication She thinks she’s understood each word he said But he was only talking in abstractions And he can't tell how his thoughts have been misread She feels it still She feels the thrill She's forever falling … Falling forever He made it clear Nothing is happening Not today or tomorrow, next week or next year He made it clear But she feels it still She feels the thrill, the thrill, the thrill She's forever falling … Falling forever Falling forever Falling forever Falling forever in love

Ladywell Fields A Racing heart and a foolish head A million thoughts we left unsaid But we'll wake up to find we're dead One of these days... We curse the times when things were bad When a single word could drive us mad We'll escape those thoughts we’ve had One of these days... We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields Playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields They took away the orange lights Replaced them with white That's alright but tonight Let's make another deal … Our eyes light up like the truth occurred It would be quite funny if it weren't absurd If we’re lucky we’ll stumble on some perfect words One of these days We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields Playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields They took away the orange lights Replaced them with white That's alright but tonight Let's make another deal … This world we see, this stench we breathe, This pain we feel, this can’t be real, oh no Please tell me that this isn’t real This world we see, this stench we breathe, This pain we feel, this can’t be real, oh no Please tell me that this isn’t real This can’t be real This isn’t real Please tell me it’s not real The future lies in hearts not heads The truth is all that’s left unsaid We'll wake up to find we're dead One of these days We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields We’ll be playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields Playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields We were tripping with the clouds back in Ladywell Fields We were talking too loud back in Ladywell Fields We were tripping with the clouds back in Ladywell Fields We were tripping with the clouds back in Ladywell Fields South of the river

Tiny Little Thing Draw your knees up to your chest Pull the bedclothes to your chin And turn yourself into a tiny little thing When all you’ve ever done is wrong You know that you’ll get nothing right So turn yourself into a tiny little thing And everything you’ve ever heard Echoes louder by the day Simple things will always hurt The simple things that we all say These could be the good old days If you decide to make them so Don’t turn yourself into a tiny little thing It doesn’t matter what you’ve done Who hurt you or who you hurt Don’t turn yourself into a tiny little thing And everything you’ve ever heard Echoes louder by the day Simple things will always hurt The simple things that we all say Don’t turn yourself into a tiny little thing Don’t turn yourself into a tiny little thing Don’t turn yourself into a tiny little thing Don’t turn yourself into a tiny little thing Draw your knees up to your chest Pull the bedclothes to your chin And turn yourself into a tiny little thing

Once upon a never was it so Once upon a never was it so You and I thought things we'd never know And trees with wings flew past while down below We watched each other in the fire's glow Once upon a never was it so Sunlight streams down secret paths And washes us away The colours slide into themselves Until our dreams turn grey There’s nothing left to say A clock that's stopped will tell you twice a day The time has come for you to fly away No matter what you hear the cuckoos say Best leave the nest lest you become the prey A clock that's stopped will tell you twice a day Sunlight streams down secret paths And washes us away The colours slide into themselves Until our dreams turn grey There’s nothing left to say A clock that's stopped will tell you twice a day Once upon a never was it so Once upon a never was it so Once upon a never was it so Once upon a never was it so

I fell asleep I fell asleep this afternoon You could say the day was wasted But that’s just a simple point of view You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted Can’t see my dreams Life’s a strange and wondrous game The rules can take some getting used to Every day they seem to change Till we second guess what we do I think we’d better think again I fell asleep this afternoon You could say the day was wasted But that’s just a simple point of view You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted Can’t see my dreams We can talk of love and loss We’re always searching for a meaning Till we think we’ve got it sussed But it’s just the way we’re leaning I think we’d better think again I fell asleep this afternoon You could say the day was wasted But that’s just a simple point of view You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted Can’t see my dreams All I hear are empty words railing at the situation Saying everything must change but there is no explanation But every vacuum must be filled So beware of what you’re wishing You may wake up to find that it’s the devil you’ve been kissing I fell asleep this afternoon You could say the day was wasted But that’s just a simple point of view You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted I fell asleep this afternoon You could say the day was wasted But that’s just a simple point of view You don’t know the dreams I’ve tasted I fell asleep this afternoon I fell asleep this afternoon

Everything was beautiful Your mother said everything was beautiful She didn’t know when Your mother said everything was beautiful It could be again Your mother said everything was beautiful Everyone had everything They saw themselves as queens and kings They had the keys to the secret breeze They owned the wind in the trees So please now tell me why Did all the people cry? Their heads were full of magic tales Of heroes strong who never failed They ruled the sky, thought they’d never die They felt their dreams fly so high So please now tell me why Did all the people cry? Your mother said everything was beautiful She didn’t know when Your mother said everything was beautiful It could be again Your mother said everything was beautiful We’ll build a truth to fit the crime We’ll dance until the end of time We’ve got the keys to the secret breeze We own the wind in the trees But still we walk on by While all the people cry? Hear the people, See the people Feel the people cry

If tomorrow ever comes If tomorrow ever comes I’ll be waiting there for you You can hold my hand and say We did all we could do For if tomorrow comes We’ll know today is done If tomorrow ever comes If tomorrow ever comes And if our sorrow ever leaves We’ll dance into the sky Looking down upon the earth We’ll hold each other tight For if our sorrow leaves We’ll breathe all we can breathe If our sorrow ever leaves If our sorrow ever leaves But we’re stuck inside the clock Wishing it would stop But the tempo never drops When you’re stuck inside the clock We’re turning on the wheel It’s all that we can feel And we can’t tell what is real When we’re turning on the wheel If the world should one day end There’ll be no one there to see And our lives will pass us by A whistle in the breeze For if the world should end We’ll not be there my friend If the world should ever end If tomorrow never comes If tomorrow never comes …
