I Will Remain

Further from my widowed home
Take the road that sets you to the sun
Waiting for my skin and bone
To return and see what I’ve become
Summer has not yet been here
Though my days are long
Take me back to when the night was young
And another song was sung
What of all those pretty tales
The ones that took me to this door
There’s a comfort in the sirens wail
A comfort upon this wooden floor
To you, is it a failure
To forget the ones you once held dear
I tried to remember but my mind is no longer clear
Don’t you recognise me
I’ve fallen far, far from the tree
The roots came up, up to my knee
They twisted round
I made no sound… no sound
I wandered ‘til my brittle bone
Had succumbed and pulled me to the stone
Further from the towns you’ve known
I remain from where I had begun
I stumble before I started
I was kicking over stones as child
In the meadow when the storm came through
And I burrowed straight back to you
Don’t you recognise me
I’ve fallen far, far from the tree
The roots came up, up to my knee
They twisted round
I made no sound… no sound
Would you ever doubt my love
When my day is done
I’ll lay down my body within this earth I’ve won
Would you try to follow the roads I had to walk
There’s a whisper in the willow
From there you’ll hear me talk

Within The Rose
03:56

If I’m running out of time
Then I’m running out of time
There’s nothing you can do
To try to pull me through
Could tie me down with twine
Give me back what’s mine
I wouldn’t want you to
Try to pull me through
You’ll find me in the morning
Hidden within the rose
Down beneath the great lake
And up where the jackdaw crows
My grandfather did ask me
Do you know what you have done
There were ripples in the waters
I found them when you were young
And if I’m gonna find a way
Then I’m gonna find a way
To give it back to you
To try to see it through
My wish is in the well
And my heart began to swell
And my breath became so slow
And the world it seemed to grow
You’ll find me in the morning
Hidden within the rose
Down beneath the great lake
And up where the jackdaw crows
My grandfather did ask me
Do you know what you have done
There were ripples in the waters
I found them when you were young

Veins Of Your History
03:26

How long will your crown stay gold
Will it slip away to leave when you’re old
I’ll wait where the tall tree bends
You come find me I’ll be with you near the end
How long before that fear sets in
Will it come to you to wash away your sin
How long before you cut me down to size
However long it takes you to realise
Ohhh my love you’re not alone
Ohhh my love you’re not alone
And you move around in this city
Its veins shaped your history
I know you’ve been far from home
That medicine cuts right to the bone
I see the grief got caught on your face
Running from a nameless place
Go tell your father you didn’t mean to lie
Don’t worry about us
We’ll never ask you why
Ohhh my love you’re not alone
Ohhh my love you’re not alone
You take up your sides
That river runs wide
You wait where only bitter winds have blown
For a little peace of mind
It’s a hard way to be
For a little peace of mind
That’s a hard way to be

In Winter
03:47
|

Come to me
Wash it away
When I breathe
Took my weight
In the winter, the winter
You took your clothes off
Drifted under water
By the wood house
When the snow came
In the winter
The winter
Come to me
Rest your head
