Streetlights 03:48
lyrics
buy track
All streetlights talk to my heart tonight saying it’s time to stop and go Too long now the heart and crown have daydreamed of life In another pair of shoes But is it ugly, over rated, fake and complicated to step into a new groove Escape from what is comfy cozy day to day What do I have to prove All our memories fade into the grey With each step you walk away Your silence fills the room and breaks me down Do I hold you or do I let go? But is it ugly over rate fake and complicated to step into new shoes Escape from what is comfy cozy day to day What do I have to prove

Little Seedling 03:20
lyrics
buy track
There’s a stillness in the sip between time and space Hurry bustle along Thoughts play like movies Fast forwarding on and on Little seedling you silently know All the secrets of how to grow and go Oh fear don’t stunt me when I’m near to tears Love don’t leave me when my comfort disappears (repeat) oh oh oh there’s a silence when light paints little rainbows on your face backwards and forwards my heart wants to jump around smooth constant wave you always know which way to go wind blow it forward fast as you can Oh fear don’t stunt me when I’m near to tears Love don’t leave me when my comfort disappears (repeat) oh oh oh it’s so easy to skip a breath or two than to find a firm ground to build on to build on broken mirror separate the dark from light light shine clearer it’s time to wake up it’s time to wake up it’s time to wake up Oh fear don’t stunt me when I’m near to tears Love don’t leave me when my comfort disappears (repeat) oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Glass of Comfort 03:43
lyrics

Pour me a glass or two Of some comfort Sip in a sigh and sink down Fill me with love From your mouth dear Take me away don’t let go Breathe in that dream Of a touch dear Feel my heart beat (scat) Please can I have just one more moment here Please can I have just one more moment here Hold me once more a little closer Hold me once more Hold me once more a little closer A little closer

Carry On 04:48
lyrics

You Can Carry You Can Carry (on) Swaddled by your love from afar You took it upon yourself To carve a mold of care Trailblazer you were Voice raiser you stood Strong You can Carry You can Carry (on) Guarded by your infinite gaze You took it upon yourself To stand proud like a mother bear Trailblazer you were Voice raiser you stood Strong You can Carry You can Carry (on)

Flutter 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Escaped from a cage with a lock dusty and forgotten One look in your eyes revealed the key Out they flew fluttering inside of me This is how you move me CHORUS Oh it’s been a long time since smiles and daydreams sang constantly Oh its been a long time yearning to touch your body Un-phased by the storm raging inside of me Waves dance to your graceful love One breath at a time trying not to dive head first This is how you move me Chorus Unsure of which door closes and which opens How I long to kiss the right lips This globe has been turned the glitter is shimmering This is how you move me Chorus x 2

Life Force 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Sometime a tree grows vastly high Like an arrow All life exists and the branches persist Onwards, upwards, and outward There are the few who cover the ground Like wings Pumping and flowing billowing and lowering Protecting It can be little or big it’s hard to forgive When a chance was never given Tall or small it’s hard to forgive If you block the sun your roots harden There are the ones who are so shy They control their shape and size Modest Stunning perfection It can be little or big it’s hard to forgive When a chance was never given Tall or small it’s hard to forgive If you block the sun your roots harden Chorus Doo de doo’s

Best Before 03:57
lyrics
buy track
CHORUS: Best Before You go on And close that door It says Best before You turn your head my dear Best before It reads loud and clear This expiration date is near Written with the inconsistency From the ink of my fear Chorus I melt into your embrace As my fingers find your soft face My head rests so perfectly on your chest And I float with your breath Chorus A magpie holds onto what is precious There comes a time when it’s harder to stay tight in a bud than to bloom Stand guard against knowing that you know in this world And just experience Just experience Pass the mic to your inner hearts whisper Chorus Best Before
