1. THE WOLVES

Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go.
Watching from both sides, these clock towers burning up,
I lost my time here, i lost my patience with it all.

We lost faith, in the arms of love.

Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the News?
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting With The wolves.
With the wolves.
Red tongues and hands.

Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go.
Watching from both sides, these towers been tumbling down,
I lost my mind here, I lost my patience with the lord.

We lost faith, oh in the arms of love

Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the News?
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting With The wolves.
With the wolves.
Red tongues and hands.

We lost faith, in the arms of love.


2. CLOUD NINE

Shadows on the water
From a memory, in times and sight
And the last time I saw you happier
Then not seein' you, not seein' you in a long while

All these faces, oh how they adore you
With every blessing, every strength of a storm
And it seems to me it all worked out so different
Funny how distance and time, you don't change at all

So may your worries, may your worries never fall too loud
May you stay here, may you stay here
Happy in your own skin, on the ninth cloud

Oh, to every warning
Where these ships had passed through, years before
Bolder now, than a brand new morning
The sun on your face, the bruise and the breaks of these Careless arms

So hold your body, hold your body strong in these winds of Life
May I find you, may we sit together when we're gray and old, On cloud nine

This life'll move you with every step outside
It's alright, it's alright my arms are open wide for you
This life'll move you as graceful as a tide
Oh it's alright it's alright, loosen the fears that bind You, loosen the fears that bind you


3. LONDON

Oh, how i wish i could drag you down here,
Pull these feet far from the ground
Because this, this city ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no friend.

All i can do
When the tracks stop at the final destination
Is just push on through,
The weariness and silences of such a crowded situation here.

All i can do
When every brick, every bar, every elegance i see, i see her Face,
Is just push on, just push on through,
These embers of memories that float from the fire, from the Fire of this place.

So don't give up on me now,
Oh these legs that'll walk me home.

Because it's only concrete and cars,
It's only sirens and missing stars,
It's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when i feel alone.

All i can do
When these lights, they haunt me like orchids in a Graveyard,
Is just just push on, just push on through
These faces of dust and stone,
The dirt and bone of loss.

So don't give up on me now,
Oh these legs that'll walk me home.

Because it's only concrete and cars,
It's only sirens and missing stars,
It's only whiskey and disregard
In the smallest hours here, when i feel alone.

..And i hope, Paris is as beautiful as i've been told
And that everything you do is galvanised in gold.


4. THESE WATERS

I saw red and yellow flowers outside over
The brightest sunrise ever to've touched my eyes.

And through it all,
I stood and stumbled, waded through my thoughts and heart
Yeah through it all,
I fooled and fumbled, lost to the poet's frown.
I fought the wolves of patience just to let it lie down.

See these waters they'll pull you up,
Oh if you're bolder than the darkness.
My my, let these songs be an instrument to cut,
Oh spaces 'tween the happiness and the hardness.

Out the door,
The touch of morning, the burning of the frost
Out the door
Strong hands to hold; good friends that I never lost.

And what we found
Down these coves of limestone and cockle shells,
What we found
Down these roads that wander as lost as the heart,
Is a chance to breathe again, a chance for a fresh start.

See these waters they'll pull you up,
Oh if you're bolder than the darkness.
That these songs be an instrument to cut,
My my, let these songs be an instrument to cut,
Oh, spaces between the happiness and the hardness.


5. MOVE LIKE YOU WANT

I saw you earlier on,
They were playing blues downtown
Some kind of Mississippi, Mississippi song
And I know, I know, I know I caught your eye
Because you darling, you caught mine.

So lady get down,
Like there's no-one else around here.

Baby, move like you wanna,
Baby, move like you need,
Honey, move like you ought to,
Baby, move just to please me.
Baby, move like you wanna,
Baby, move like you need,

Oh I saw you, watching the band play slow
Eyes like a morning star,
In the soft of the early evening glow
And I know, I know, I know you were burning up inside
Because these feelings, these feelings are so hard to hide.

So woman get down,
Like there's no-one else around here.

Baby, move like you wanna,
Baby, move like you need,
Honey, move like you ought to,
Baby, move just to please me.
Baby, move like you wanna,
Baby, move like you need,

Oh lady get down,
Like there's no-one else around here.

Baby, move like you wanna,
Baby, move like you need,
Honey, move like you ought to,
Baby, move just to please me.
Baby, move like you wanna,
Baby, move like you need,

Oh woman get down,
Like there's no-one else around here.
Oh lady get down,
Like there's no-one else around here.

6. THE FIRE

Lie here ‘till your world stops spinning round;
Lie near me ‘till the birds start singing out
Oh come show what it is to be warm
Be my shelter and I’ll be your storm.

Oh come; lie down ‘till the four winds cease to blow;
Lie here full of rivers that you know
And I’ll make your bones shake
The sweat we take off hearts still battered and worn
Be my shelter and I’ll be your storm

And we'll show the fire,
Yeah we'll show the fire how to burn
Yeah we'll show the fire,
We'll show the fire how to burn
We’ll show the fire,
We'll show the fire how to burn
Yeah we'll show the fire,
We'll show the fire how to burn

I don't know, I don't know where you came from
Honey God's been smiling;
I don't know, I don't know where the rain's gone
But it's been a while been a while now
I don't know, I don't know where you came from
Honey God's been, God’s been smiling;
I don't know, I don't know where the rain's gone
But it's been a while been a while, been a while
Been a while now
Yeah I don't know, I don't know where you came from
Honey God's been, God’s been smiling down
I don't know, I don't know where the rain's gone
But it's been a while been a while, been a while
It’s been a while, been a while now
