Left to Dry 04:58
Take a little, take a little bit of time It’s OK, you can take some of mine And carry on, if you like You won’t be wrong if you’re right I don’t know, I don’t know if there’s time What is left, now slowly starts to unwind And any time left behind isn’t mine Won’t be the first time something dies Might be the last time that we try To ask ourselves why The tears that we made were left to dry If we never, if we never took the time To reach out, to believe we can be kind Just waiting for the right time Never shine, never shine Did we never, did we never find the time It didn’t feel like time was never on our side But each moment that’s left passes by Won’t be the first time something dies Might be the last time that we try To ask ourselves why The tears that we made were left to dry The tears that we made were left to dry Take a little, take a little bit of time It’s OK, you can take some of mine

Did I book the dinner reservation? Did I send directions where to go? There’s been so much on television My head is filled with shows about the mafia And Danger Mouse is back His voice is wrong but it's not that Which is bugging me It's that my head is filled with crap But there’s nothing there But there’s nothing there (say something) But there’s nothing there (Say something) But there’s nothing there (Try not to bore them) Did I book the dinner reservation? Did I send directions where to go? Have I got any information That anyone in their right mind would want to know? And they're all sitting down While the menus are passed around And why am I sitting here? Who's idea was this to come? But there’s nothing there But there’s nothing there (say something) But there’s nothing there (Say something) But there’s nothing there (Try not to bore them)

I/O 05:59
Severed from the world, it throws me back to the clearing where they used to take a tally of their wares (occupies the mind, a satellite or more like a meteor shower rushing through the nothing there), Where I used to play, where once I fell seeing stars, I half arrived. It took a month and something more. Drawn towards the vacuum and the dark, we are volunteers for walking when they open up the door. Fear of the silence, of the cause of the depth of saturn's rings of the numbers on the board how they answer everything You let somebody know the descent onto the floor a reach to the unknown Please, when all of this done and we're back on our old ground Read the letters that we buried if we never came back down We Grow younger here, the words That we lost, The living time Eats Away As we rotate Spinning down into the light And i don't know if you're talking to me And I don't know if I'm listening But if we're changing the frequency then let me know And I don't know if I'm walking weightless But you keep saying there's gravity The pull and the push, the cords to let me go Fear of the silence, of the cause of the depth of saturn's rings of the numbers on the board how they answer everything You let somebody know the descent onto the floor a reach to the unknown Please, when all of this done and we're back on our old ground Read the letters that we buried if we never came back down We Grow younger here, the words That we lost, The living time Eats Away As we rotate Spinning down into the light We came back down And living life This life

I’ve been here all day long Just thinking there’s nothing wrong Like the time when we played monopoly Like the time that you made me a cup of tea Like the time I said that I love you LIke the time you said you love me too All I see is a memory, and never what we are I’ve been dreaming all night long Will wake up when it’s gone I’ve been here all day long Just thinking there’s something wrong Like the time that you left with no goodbye Like the time that I’d gone before you arrived Like the time that you couldn’t understand Like the time that I moved away my hand Every time that I sit and I close me eyes There’s a time there’s a place, there’s your beautiful face And I know that I won’t be the same again But I don’t really know what it means right now I’ve been dreaming all night long Will wake up when it’s gone

Flying Blind 08:50
In Conversation with myself again In Isolation, my dear old friend Held inside for so long I can hide, I have gone The separation of the mind from soul Annihilation, just letting go Held inside for so long I can hide, I have gone Just falling in love Just feeling in love Just being in love I can’t tell If you’re showing me everything If the meaning of life is the meaning of this feeling Flying so high, flying blind, flying free We are just breathing, while we are still healing The damage left, the damage done Through your inspiration I can see again Communication, my new favourite game Held inside for so long All I fear has now gone Each new creation leads us to this place This harmonisation of all time and space Held inside for so long All I fear has now gone

Holding On 03:13
I never say what I’m meaning I tell myself these lies Out of touch with my feelings Ain’t no shock, no surprise I’m holding on for a reason I’m holding on for dear life Afraid of completion afraid of the light What’s taken me so long? What’s the point in holding on? And the minute that you open the door I’m telling you I’m so sure Nothing’s gonna make me Change my mind I know the reasons are nothing I’m in a state of denial I can act without thinking I can deny it all What’s taken me so long? What’s the point in holding on? And the minute that you open the door I’m telling you I’m so sure

Empty Words 06:22
I can’t do a lot You can do no wrong I can’t be enough You can be so strong I can’t see so well And you can see it all I can’t ever tell If you’re just playing along It’s so easy to hold back the truth There’s no reason to do what we do I just want you to know that I feel Like there’s nothing we say that can be real No more empty words No more promises that we just can’t keep And it runs so deep But with all we’re fighting for I can give till there’s no more

The day the world came down They never had a doubt And now before the day is done We’re finding out That the last known survivor On the day they rode away Looked again in the mirror Took a breath, looked around Sat down at the table and wrote it down If he knew then what they know now Would he go And what he left behind Was never there to show That the last known survivor On the day they rode away In a heartbreaking letter Gave the world what it knew, And he blew it all away along the way Read all about the fallen sailors on the sea Their names were everything they need Now they’re only memories Read all about the darkest summer while they sleep They sent their letters on the sea Only echoes from the deep Now just letters on the beach That the last known survivor On the day they rode away Opened up their old letter That they left tucked away To be found on the day they rode away Read all about the fallen sailors on the sea Their names were everything they need Now they’re only memories Read all about the darkest summer while they sleep They sent their letters on the sea Only echoes from the deep He read the letters on the beach

Wake Up 04:07
The thoughts have gone away The floors have no foundation I’ll find another way Through your imagination Filled with all your warmth And all your love How does it feel to wake up Open the door let some light in FIll up your heart and be woken I wonder if there’s light I wonder if there’s air to breath And no one ever cries And no one ever follows me To the river flowing silently How does it feel to wake up Open the door let some light in The dreaming is over, the fun begins How does it feel to wake up Open the door let some light in The dreaming is over tonight

Your teeth are finally done The time is moving along Say goodnight It’s late, I’ve got to get on I’ll read you a chapter again Just promise this night has an end Say goodnight It’s late, I’ve got to get on Say goodbye, the curtains are drawn For tonight, the battle is won You’re never alone in the night Just call out I’ll hear you alright Say goodnight, It’s late, I’d like to get on It’s fine if you want me to stay You know I won’t walk away What is wrong? It’s late, but that is OK The moon is bright, the curtains are drawn And tonight the stars will never be gone And tonight, my star…. he’s gone
