New Album Out
Now
Dublin
I saw you in St. Stephen's Green
Sitting on the grass, arms on your knees
Jeans black, holes frayed away
Jeans you used to wear with me
I remember
I never went there that day
It was just a memory away
An artifact I left behind
To make it seem like there's a line
I remember
I remember
Drinking red wine
In the changing lines
In my drinking days
I was thinking ways
I believe there's a story
I believe that's with you
Can you please tell me something
Can you please tell me anything
Battle lying with me and fantasy
Battle lying... I don't know that fantasy
I remember
Drinking red wine
In the changing lines
In my drinking days
I was thinking ways
Favourite Line
Oh there's a window
With a view of this moment
I want to tell you not to move
Just to stay right here
We could do this together
On our own. For this moment
You said to be forever
Into whatever you going to be
I don't mind it
It feels the same
She said that's my favourite line
Can we give one last life to this
Oh I know
I could never win
Oh I know
I could never win
Aloysius
Come with me
I'll be better
Wait and see
Aloysius
Are you free?
On this page tonight
It occurs to me
I don't mind it
It feels the same
She said that's my favourite line
Can we give one more life to this
Wait
High on the water again tonight
Came off the sky on a lovely tide
Up on that satellite
How did we ever survive?
I'm going to wait for you tonight
I'm going to wait for you this time
Tell me and I'll be there too
I'm going to wait for you
Is that enough for tonight?
I am okay with these little lines
Pack up and heed that advice
I'll never stop 'til I'm loving right
I'm going to wait for you tonight
I'm going to wait for you this time
Tell me and I'll be there too
I'm going to wait for you
There's a reason for
Us being here
Are you going to help me?
I'm not playing lately.
I'm going to wait for you
Gulin Gu
In a moment I went home
There was nothing after me so I went home
I want it too
There was nothing like Gulin Gu
I never met anyone like Gulin Gu
I'm on fire with Gulin Gu
Gulin Gu
Old dreams on my mind
A world of unknown
It's on my mind
I want you too
There was nothing like Gulin Gu
I never met anyone like Gulin Gu
I'm on fire with Gulin Gu
Gulin Gu
All My Friends
I want to stay
I was trying to hide the sound of my footsteps
I could never change the way you changed it
And I'm never coming back again
I want to say
All my friends are gone
I can take it if you want me to
I went away
I was trying to find the sound of your footsteps
I would never change the way she changed it
And I'm never turning back again
I want to say
All my friends are gone
I can take it if you want me to
Oh I never
thought our world could be so far away
She said darling
Are we ever gonna get away?
Where you going?
I just want to be so far away
Please just tell me
Are we ever gonna get away?
All my friends are gone
She and the Dancer
I don't want to make this right
I was tired of all the useless fights
So I'm going to try and walk this line
It's better to give than to run
She and the dancer
Take out the thrill and turn me on
There's nothing wrong with wanting some
I don't know what to say to you
It's better to burn than to lose
She and the dancer
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run
I feel like I'm on my own
Watching the rolling bones
I'm gonna run
I'm on the run
Open the door and walk on through
There was never any stopping you
I don't know why I want to try
It's better to give than to run
She and the dancer
Hurricane
She came calling
I don't know why
Everything was over
Don't they realize?
Are they going to take me?
Should they even try?
I'll be here forever
So they realize
Are you gonna change my mind?
Can we find a way to make this better?
She's not gonna change her mind tonight
Can we make it easier?
I don't want to go around again
It felt like a hurricane
It felt like something new
I don't want to hesitate
I don't want to tell you
It felt like a hurricane
It felt like something new
She kept asking
Don't they realize?
Are we going to make it?
Should we even try?
I don't want to wander
It's the only line
I'll be here forever
So they realize
Are you gonna change my mind?
Woods (A Fantasy)
Can anybody hear that?
The sound of the woods
Fantasy
Are they looking at you? Are they looking at me?
Take the long way home on the old dirt road
Everybody knows which way to go
I don't give a damn for your dreaming
Can anybody hear that?
The sound of the woods
Fantasy
Shadows moving in the dark light
She said
There's something in the fire tonight
Can anybody hear that?
The sound of the woods
Fantasy
Here the sound of the woods
Wild and open ways
Take me for some water
Allied on this wake
Here the sound of the woods
The night makes it real
Move out of this country
Just like a fantasy
And I told you I'd be better on my own
Darling I'm tired of all you've been fighting for
And I never thought I'd ever get this far
Yet I'm here and I don' t know what to do
Darling I'm tired of all you've been fighting for
And I never thought I'd ever get this far
Carolita
On my mind
All the time
From the start
To the never
But we'll start
It's all we have to
Becaue we aren't like them others
On my heart
It's on my heart
We'll get by now
It's what we do
Like we try to be cool
I let go
All the time
It's out of me
Onto you
It's on my heart
Carolita
On my heart
Carolita
Carolita
Care a little
Hobby of the Hawks
It's the hobby of the hawks
I'd never heard that before
She said she didn't know
But I remember
Get up and let's go
She'll be back soon
You said that I'd be alright right here
I don't know why
But I told them all I tried
She said good night and I simply said goodbye
I don't know why
But I told them all my lines
I love you
Tell me and I'll never let it go
She's the only thing I've ever known
I could never tell you what I know
Can I don't want be here alone
I love you
Enemy
She's a strange runner
She gets back on her toes
I'm a page burner
Don't know what they know
You're the enemy
You're the end of me
I don't mind
If I can
Something
In my mind
I could never
Take you on
I could never
Well I'm a wage burner
It's all I ever tried
Role playing
It's easier than life
You're the enemy
You're the end of me
Hopeless
I'm gonna cry
But I don't mind
Oh I don't mind
Help me
I'm gonna try
No one has ever
Done this before
You're the enemy
You're the end of me
Gave Up the World
Gave up the world for me
This man
Gave up the world for me
They took away everything
For what?
They took away all I need
But I believe in this life
I could never tell you that again
She came back and told me that again
Slip inside like you know the way
I don't mind it if I had the time
But I believe in this life
Only
Over the top
Across a great design
Oh my god
Oh no god
In my heart, I want to try
Every night it's on my mind
Could you even try to line
I'm pretty sure it's genuine
Only
I don't mind if we do
Miles apart
Oh my love
I can't let it shine
Open realizing little bells
See the kind of thing I know
Every time I try to line
Feels just like its geniune
Only
I don't mind if we do
Mile apart
Lay Awake at Night and Call it Dancing
There's something going on
Lay awake at night and call it dancing
She said
There's nothing going on
Lay awake at night and call it dancing
I can't make it
I got an appointment
With a man
Who said he was better than me
I know we'll let this go again
Lay awake at night and call it dancing
Now they said they didn't mind
Lay awake at night and call it dancing
I can't make it
I got an appointment
With a man
Who said he was better than me
She said that I'd be lost and out of control
I don't mind anyway
We went back and she said can we get away again
I don't mind either way
Lay awake at night and call it dancing
