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

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 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

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

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
02:28
|

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
04:52

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 …
