Travellin' Shoes
04:35
|

I will wait for you
If my travellin’ shoes can be found
In the same place as my heart
I wish they’d find
some common ground
I know
Life is not a fairytale
Maybe I’ll grow
Into these shoes somehow
Lucky for you
But not lucky for me
My heart is on its knees, oh
My heart is on its knees
How long will your eyes
Be searching across these desert skies for mine?
Miles and miles away
I’ll keep on singing and dancing
whilst I wait
I know
Life is not a fairytale
Maybe I’ll grow
Into these shoes somehow
Lucky for you
But not lucky for me
My heart is on its knees, oh
My heart is on its knees

Here is my Heart
04:02
|

You’ve got a soul full of love
But a hindering heart
So I didn’t know what to say
When you came to me that day
With that look on your face
And all I could do was fix my green eyes on you
And hope my love
Could steal your doubts away
But oh my love
All that I think I know
Is my love for you
Is here to stay
Sometimes it’s not enough just to say
It’ll all be ok
We all need someone to hold
So darlin’ here is my heart
You’ve had it from the start
Now it’s yours to hold
Until we grow old
I hope my love
Could still steal your doubts away
But oh, my love
All that I think I know
Is my love for you
Is here to stay
We’ll keep dreaming tonight
It’ll all be alright
Then you’ll wake up in the morning
With me by your side

Jane & Jeremiah
04:53
|

See I sold my soul
To a woman named Jane
And to a life of broken dreams
It pains me to say my
Soul’s not all she took
When she wrapped my heart in chains
So I left that dusty place
With tears rollin’ down my face
When she gave her hand to another man
Since that awful day
I’ve been so ashamed
Of the man that I became
Oh my Jane
Why’d you send me away
To roam these desert skies?
I’m feelin’ so lonesome I could die
Since that day
My heart was taken from me
Oh my mama was taken from this world
She taught me how to sing my old
Troubles away
Now I’m singin’ about my Jane
Oh my Jane
Why’d you send me away
To roam these desert skies?
I’m feelin’ so lonesome I could die
Every time that sun
Says goodnight to me
Over that far northern sea
I can’t help thinkin’ about my
Jane back home
But I know that’s not where I belong
Yeah I know that’s not where I belong
Yeah I know I gotta keep singin’ my song…
Oh my Jane
Why’d you send me away
To roam these desert skies?
I’m feelin’ so lonesome I could die

Edge of the Sea
03:33
|
|||
We float out to see
The clouds rollin' in
Light is hard to find
But on this rainy day
My fears were washed away
When you came pouring in
Into my heart
Into my heart...
As your brown eyes meet mine
I never know what they'll find
Time slows down
As I'm counting the days
Till our eyes part ways
Over the crashing waves
Of my heart
These waves of my heart...
Maybe one day
We'll meet again
At the edge of the sea
Where time stands still
In my heart
Like back at the start
You came into
My heart...

Two Feet
03:08
|
|||
I don’t love you anymore
And thank God I don’t need you, or anyone
Since my heart’s been abused
All this time, not by you
But who I let you be
You think you broke me down
But now
I’m standing on my own two feet
Learning how to live and breathe again
I got so tired of being angry
I’m standing on my own two feet
Learning how to forgive again
The best thing I ever did was leave
Now I’m listening
To my own heartbeat
I’m not blinded anymore
By the love I felt for you
I let my heart bleed
Still it loved you, you see
This is not who I’m meant to be
You think you broke me down
I’m standing on my own two feet
Learning how to live and breathe again
I got so tired of being angry
I’m standing on my own two feet
Learning how to forgive again
The best thing I ever did was leave
Now I’m listening
to my own heartbeat

Invincible
04:35
|
|||
I’ve fallen down that black hole
Following Alice’s trail
I hear something in the air that says
“You’re safe here”
I feel magic in my bones tonight
And my heart feels lighter
These mud brick walls
They speak their secrets
And make me feel
They make me feel like
I’m invincible
Invincible
There’s a light shining through
The kitchen window pane
I realise this isn’t hole
But a house to call a home
I wonder if she has a name
She feels so alight
With this life
I don’t have to speak a word
But I know she’s listening
And she makes me feel like
I’m invincible
Invincible
In her arms tonight
I can hear the trees whispering my name
They say let us carry your worries away
Then a little bird floats by
And lands on my right side
And he says
He says
You’re invincible
Invincible
I’m invincible
With us you’re safe and sound
Deep below the ground
With us you’re safe and sound
Deep below the ground
Where the light shines
And darkness
Doesn’t make a sound

Truth Tellin' Tears
03:45
|
|||
Holding on to your mask
Grasping at your pain
Building stories from your past
With only yourself to blame
I look out my window
What do I see?
I see these opportunities
They’re waiting and
Screaming out for me
Fear’s been creeping at my doorstep
For 24 long years
But I won’t let him rule me
Despite these truth tellin’ tears
I look out my window
What do I see?
I see these opportunities
They’re waiting and
Screaming out for me
Ooo ooo ooo
Let it out
Breathe it in
And release…
Ooo ooo ooo

Start Running
03:49

|

Pick up your feet and start running
Feel what it's like
To leave your worries behind
Forget what it means to go home
Get lost in the forest
For a little while
I know she broke your heart
And flawed your soul
But through the trees
Sunlight's found a home
Pick up your feet and start running
Let the warm Summer breeze
Flow right through your veins
Forget what it means to be lonely
But stand alone
With strength and pride and grace
It's a waste of time
Waiting on love
So love yourself
This should be enough
Don't sell your soul tonight
Please don't let your soul's light die
Don't sell your soul tonight
Please don't let your soul's light die
Pick up your feet and start running
Pick up your feet and start running
Pick up your feet and start running

By the Fire
05:51
|

Well I’m sitting
Cross legged
By the fire
And you’re flying
From east to west
And you’re tired
I’m cooking tomatoes
On the gas stove, real slow
Hoping darling
You’ll be coming home
The candles
They’re burning
By my bedside
Illuminating
My heart’s desire
For you
I’m penning this song
As the night sky turns on
Watching time float by with the sun
Hoping darling
You’ll be coming home
Well it was Summer
And I was standing
By the river
I called my brother
He flew down south
To visit
It was meant
To be you
But my love for you
Fell through
I often think
Of our nights
Under the moon
Hoping darling
You’ll be coming
Oh but darling
Are you coming
Darling
You’re not coming home
