Morning
Nothing to bring like yesterday
Yawning
When in the wind I hear a way
Returned from the night
A bird in the light
Stalling
Don't wait until another day
Calling
I never did know what to say
But words may arrive
Like birds in the light

purple blue rave ocean girl on rocks and ghosts in rain
like leaf grew i waited so long just to see you
light stream wash me clean an end is really just a start
oh and you only lose what you cling to
home again when will i roam again
nobody knows but then what’s coming round the bend
yeah i’m home again don’t want to roam again
nobody knows but then what’s coming round the bend
purple blue
like leaf grew
light stream through
only you
purple threw it all away only to pick it up
i’m gonna do things just the way i want to do them
like leaf grew i've waited so long just to see it through
purple blue you only lose
yeah i’m home again when will i roam again
nobody knows but then what’s coming round the bend
yeah i’m home again don’t want to roam again
nobody knows but then what’s coming round the bend
purple blue
like leaf grew
light stream through
only you
yeah i’m home again when will i roam again
nobody knows but then what’s coming round the bend
yeah i’m home again don’t want to roam again
nobody knows but then what’s coming round the bend
purple blue

Only Way Out

little people are struggling big
rhyme and reason they don’t give a fig
are you looking like a flittering moth
well Andy’s typing sh-shut up your mouth
i guess i learned it hard
the only way out was in
quiet living in a machine
so turn up the volume you’re living the dream
rats in an ant race who’s gonna win?
i know what’s important and knowledge is king
i guess i learned it hard
the only way out was in
i was holding on
the journey long

Fire

Roll my eyes inside my mind
Roll my eyes inside my mind
Warm my hands in fire, my fire
Warm my hands in fire, my fire
Walk through fields of fire
Don't stop, it takes you higher
Roll my eyes inside my mind
Roll my eyes inside my mind
Swarm like hands to fire, my fire
Swarm like ants, inspired by fire
Walk through fields of fire
Don't stop, it takes you higher

A child praises the sun in the early morning
Night is gone
New dealings are dawning, the air is yawning
A playful song
I hear the light humming and the drumming
All day long
But while we live outrunning, the end is coming
For us all
The world is gone too young
When the sun has burned too long
A shy lizard adjusting, putting trust in
The daylight star
Sky blazing above him, does it love him
Or is he wrong?
Time chases the running with a gun
In the shape of law
And while we live outrunning, we might be cunning
And leave our home
But the world is gone too young
When the sun has burned too long
Drink from the river
Is your God a giver or taker of love?
The sun that burned too long
