Bring Me Home
04:29
|
|||
If I were a tree
I'd be naked and weak
Trembling in the open
A wind that won't cease
Bending me deeper down
And if I were a boat
I'd be caught on a reef
All the maps are torn up
The blame is on me
Lost on a violent sea
So bend me 'cos it makes me stronger
Lose me 'cos I'll search much harder
Hold me 'cos in your arms I'll know the way
If I were a bird
I'd be hungry and meek
Battered by the storm clouds
I'm learning to read
Sheltered here far from home
So bend me 'cos it makes me stronger
Lose me 'cos I'll search much harder
Hold me 'cos in your arms I'll know the way
Bring me home 'cos I need to rest
For a while, just for a while
Bring me home 'cos I need to rest
For a while, just for a while

Tides
03:32
|
|||
Sometimes I don't know
If I can go on
Battling tides that 'round me grow
And why is it so hard
Just to feel your love
Some hidden part of me it knows
There's more to this
A strength in my weakness
Gonna find it in me now
Before I leave for home
And if life is a seed
Bring on the rain
Every breath a chance again
And while I'm breathing
I'm still receiving
A way to show you how
Before I leave for home
And even though the tides they rise
They keep on lifting me higher
To a place where I can feel alive
Just keep on lifting me higher
And even though the tides they rise
They keep on lifting me higher
To a place where I can feel alive
Just keep on lifting me higher
Higher and higher

Breathe Less
03:11
|
|||
Know it for yourself, know it in your heart and then see me
You took heed of those words
And gave my heart a hope with no guarantee
And everyone was right
You were stringing me along, while you broke free
I knew it for myself, I knew it in my heart
But I couldn't see
[Chorus]
And now I must confess
I don't think of you much
Only when I breathe
So I'll just learn to breathe less
[Verse 2]
I hate to see you cry
But I hate more that you were unhappy
And I've always loved your eyes
Even when you stopped looking out for me
[Chorus]
And now I must confess
I don't think of you much
Only when I breathe
So I'll just learn to breathe less

Whisper Turn
03:36
|
|||
There's a quiet that's descending
As the seas they rise
And the fields lie broken
Under burning skies
And I hear stillness in the highways
Though they roar like waves
Can you hear it people
Whisper turn away
So lift up your heads
Uncover your eyes
There's so much more to us than this
Full of a light
An echo that guides
Telling us all that we exist, exist
And I can't see where I am going
But it don't bother me
My feet will find the soft grass
This path of love to you
So lift up your heads
Uncover your eyes
There's so much more to us than this
Full of a light
An echo that guides
Telling us all that we exist, exist

There is a Place
05:12
|
|||
There is a place
where I can hide
from the darkness
of this world.
Warm in the sun
Far from my thoughts
and the worries
that found me.
And it's all I ever needed
all that I will ever need.
And it's all I ever needed
all that I will ever need.
Don't need to search
don't need to reach
or do anything
but be here.
Just here beneath
it's love we are
and only good will be
remembered.
'cos you're all I ever needed
all that I will ever need.
'cos you're all I ever needed
all that I will ever need.
Heal my broken soul, oh Lord
heal my broken soul.
