Magic Gate
04:47

I remember the days
Remember the nights
Down amongst the dead men
Squinting at the lights
I remember so well
Forgotten by most
Mysterious voices
Listening to those ghosts
Somebody passed me a key
Opened a new way for me
Why ever did I wait
To pass through the magic gate
Now it all becomes bright
It all becomes clear
Those glorious sunsets
Walking without fear
We can linger a while
And drown in the sound
Believe what you’re hearing
Ringing all around

A Drive to the Ocean
09:18

A drive to the ocean, arrive at the sea
A drive to the ocean, overwhelms me
A fear of the water, in awe of the swell
A wave of emotion, it’s so hard to tell
You’re standing beside me, easing my fear
‘Just watch the horizon, I’ll always be near’
A fear of the water, in awe of the swell
A wave of emotion, it’s so hard to tell
Let’s move down to the coast now, and we’ll live by the sea
the sand beneath our feet
It’s just where we would want to be
The sun is on the rise now, so finish up your tea
Just grab your coat and go
There is beauty there to see
Let’s move down to the coast now, and we’ll live by the sea
the sand beneath our feet
It’s just where we would want to be
We’re driving to the coast now,
Arriving at the sea

Unwind
04:09
|
|||
I can feel the sweat
It’s dripping from my brow
The ropes and chains grow tighter so the skin begins to burn
I can see my bones
They’re glowing in the dark
The moon is getting fuller and the tide is on the turn
It becomes my calling to pull myself apart
From the tightly knotted ball of wire that holds your beating heart
To unwind is my pleasure
To unwind at my leisure
Is a long and lonely journey but we have to make a start
There’s a gentle hum
Now blowing in the wind
It can’t be growing louder if I hide the sound within
I can take a bow
To deafening applause
And disappear behind you as your head begins to spin

Pressure
04:13
|
|||
Look up at the sky
It’s the colour of my dreams
You might see another hue
It is never as it seems
Look down to the ground
At the stepping of my shoes
If they fit you like a glove
You can wear them like the blues
All the way around the world are tiny sparkling lights
That will shatter into clouds of dust and disappear from view
Take some time to wonder
Why the pressure that we’re under
Glide across the earth
On a fantasy machine
You might like another ride
It’s the best you’ve ever seen
Run across the sand
To a multicolour sea
That is everything you wish
That is made for you and me

Aegean
02:49
|
|||
The butterflies, the swallows, the pool and me
The Cicadas, the beer, my book and me
The heat, the view, the bluest sky and me
The coast, the peace, my constant love and me
The orange, blue, the purple red and me
That perfect breeze, the shooting stars and me
The islands, the green, the diamond sea and me
This land, the peace, my darling love and me

When it hit
It sure hit hard
Right between these weary eyes
It jumped the tracks and took me by surprise
It jumped the tracks and took me by surprise
When it fell
Into the void
Far below all that is known
It ate a piece of everything I owned
It ate a piece of everything I owned
When it rained
It sure rained hard
Drowned the life of mine within
It stripped the touch and colour from my skin
It stripped the touch and colour from my skin
When it hurt
It hurt so much
Deep within my very soul soul
It took the light from everything we know
It took the light from everything we know
A great big fool the size of a planet
A target you could never ever miss
The face you thought you always knew
Is someone from another world
