In the meanwhile
When hopes are blown
We lie down as one
And wait to be shown.
Look for the water
To take you home
In the photograph
The water will take you home.

Glow

When it comes to time to glow
Well I’ll glow you know
Mostly it feels like snow
You can be so cold you know
And I can feel the pain
Here it comes yet again
I can feel the pain
Here it comes yet again
I think it’s amazing how
I always see a cloud on the horizon
Just as amazing how
You always see a light in the darkness
And I been away you know
So far alone
Away with the night it glows
Go far
And it’s a shame the snow makes me feel so cold
It’s a shame the snow makes me feel so old.
I think it’s amazing how
I always see a cloud on the horizon
Just as amazing how
You always see a light in the darkness.

Hard to Break

Standing in line,
Hope like a garden grows.
Back of the line,
You’re drinking too much and it shows.
In happier times
Drinking with the friends you chose
Don’t hang with you, don’t hang with me
You’re lonely I suppose.
It’s hard to break you.
Try as I may, just trying to get through.
She greets me on time
So lazy in love too close to show
With a glass at a time
When it’s out I can see I suppose
In happier times with the friends you chose
Don’t talk to you yeah
Don’t talk TV
I don’t wanna’ talk TV
TV don’t talk to me.
It’s hard to break you.
Try as I may, I try to get through

So Many Things

If it rains outside then I won’t mind
Good for the ground and nice for my eyes
Bar stays open anyway
In my mind the tap is always running
Now I don’t know about you,
But I think there’s a lot of people running
Away from things I knew
Spied in the walls which are tumbling.
I’m lying here with you
I’m lying here with you
And there are a lot of things that we can never do.
Your face is worn with worrying
Makes you look so old in the sunlight
Can’t see why you’re tired
Can’t be that hard when your hands are tied
And if all your stars are setting suns
Where does that put me to you
I awake to find the light,
Bright like the morning dew
I’m lying here with you
I’m lying here with you
And there are so many things that I could say to you.

Ride With You
06:20

And the dream
It lights
The way to the half moon bay
Under canopy where I stay
Not leaving you anyway.
Your hopes my dreams
Lie in the slipstream of past themes
Laid out before we came
The task is closer ever day.
My ghost will ride with you.
In the way
We doubt
The need to see the edge of where we stay
I’m not leaving you in this place
Come morning we’ll be saved.
And I know, I know, I know,
Tomorrow brings a whole new way
And the light gives rise to your side
In the space I sat beside.
My ghost will ride with you.

Some Sad Eyes

Some sad eyes
Look better against a backdrop of the sun
Look brighter when not frowned upon
How deep is this love, we live on?
Some sad eyes
Find looking through is enough
To see themselves will leave them in the rough
The way you played me,
Says you knew your stuff
And you can be open
You can be open with me
And we’ll see
What will be.
Some sad eyes
Like looking in to tomorrow’s lies
Live on the outside of happy times
I left you alone now for a while
Some sad eyes
Look better against a backdrop of the sun
Look brighter when not frowned upon
How deep is this love we live on?

Takeaway

When this time machine stops spinning
Will I be coming home to you?
With the birds outside I’m singing
Singing for a different view
You make it look so easy
Make it look so smart
You make it look so easy
Next time they come they’ll take away your heart.
This plane’s so slow it’s tired
Tired of getting high
All the passengers it’s carrying
All expecting me to fly
They make it look so easy
Make it look so smart
Make it look so easy
Next time they come they’ll take away your heart

Is It All Forgotten?
03:43
|
|

Is it all forgotten to you now?
Can we make it back somehow?
Like a brick you tried to build on
Crumbling down, leaving you to fall
Is there room for me at all?
Is it all forgotten to you now?
Can we make it back somehow?
Like trees that feed the air we breathe are left to slowly wither away
Leaving you alone again.
Somebody told me we would make it.
Somebody told me we would make it.
Somebody told me we would make it.
Make it.
Is it all forgotten to you now?
Can we make it back somehow?
Like a wall that’s chipped with paint that shows
The strange
The strangest colour of blue.
Is it over for you too?

The Willow Berkeley Springs, West Virginia
Sounding like a classic early 70’s Paul Simon LP covered by Philadelphia folk heroes Espers, this is a record of dreams and regrets, of finding the strength to accept life’s changes when they come your way, where the songs are like moments snatched from dreams, hanging like ghosts in the air from Custom Blue's Alex Pilkington. ... more
