Detours
03:43

You know where everyone around here is headed
They're aiming for a place where income's no longer needed
And it's the same way around
Yeah it's the same way around
The perfect house under the perfect sky in California
But son, you've got to slave for your pay don't tell me I didn't warn ya
And it's the same way around
Yeah it's the same way around
Take a detour, don't go straight ahead
Might be something just around the bend

Visions
02:24

I don't know why I keep seeing visions of you here
I don't know why I keep seeing visions of you here
If only they'd go then I'd be
Happy here
Twenty years from the war, and the pictures still appear
Noises still make me flinch, looking for the smoke and fear
If only they'd go then I'd be
Happy here
I wait in the rain for the sun to reappear
In the thunder deep, I hear heaven's horses near
With that thought beside me, I am
Happy here

writer's block
03:09
|
|||
I stand there, the walking dead, nothing going round my head
You look at me as if to say - speak your mind, don't let it get away
But I have nothing to say
Pen hits the paper
Three hours later
I've written Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Writer's block has boxed me in again
I need to get out
Standing there in the rain - in a flash, everthing's changed
Street lights bounce of sparkling ground, the whole world devoid of sound
Writer's block has boxed me in again
But I see a flood on the horizon

Mountain march
03:39
|
|||
I want to see the world
In full colour
Freeze at the top of a mountain
Just to see the sun glint off the snow
Stuck at the water's edge
End of the line
Cold and exhausted
Lose track of time
Next step it feels like
You're on holy ground
As gold streams over the horizon
I want to see the world
In full colour
Freeze at the top of a mountain
Just to see the sun glint off the snow

I'll wait
01:36
|
|||
In the place where nobody goes
I'l wait for you
In the rain or in the snow
I'll wait for you
I'll stay frozen to the spot
When the atmosphere gets hot
Happy with my lot
Icicles melt into motion
To flow into the ocean
While I betray no emotion
In the place where nobody goes
I'll wait for you
Till the time when I really know
I'll wait for you

Once an old man walked to the window
And sat down where the sun was streaming in
Nobody knew where he came from
No-one could tell where he'd been
And he said to the crack in the wall
Words that could have stopped world wars
While the clock ticked patiently on
And the dust swirled slowly around him
Don't let the sun go down on your anger
When he stops speaking the house grows silent
No more voices decorate the room
Long had it been full of laughter
Or the timbers alive with a tune
But bitterness invaded somewhere
Splintering families now long lost
Now he knows, and distressed is his stare
Nothing was worth that cost
Don't let the sun go down on your anger

Light to our paths
03:04
|
|||
If only all of us could find the light to our paths
All those people that think they're at a dead end
The world has nothing more to offer them
Hard wired and tense, backed into a corner
Not expecting help they know they're on their own
If only all of us could find the light to our paths

God eternal
02:50
|
|||
Now I see
He's so much bigger than me
And I can't pretend otherwise
From where he stands
Time is a line in the sand
And I'm just a grain in his hands
But this picture just seems like a thought experiment
And the feeling of amazement, well I don't know where it went
All I'm doing now is tracing circles in my head
Eternity's too big to comprehend
Now I see
He's so much bigger than me

Can't see

I can't see too clearly
But one day I know I'll be able to
