Christmas Eve
That Christmas Eve I kissed the tears from both her eyes
Whispered in Her ear
Let's play a game
Countdown from 10
We'll make it disappear
Are you ready?
As I turn the engine over
She curls a hand in mine
We follow all those yellow cat's eyes into the dumb black night
She says She's falling
She calls my name
She says She's falling it's hard to explain why we're doing this again
When we arrive they dress Her in a blue gown
Tied with ribbons at the back
She says that She feels like Alice from the book
The Doctors are detectives searching for their clues
Charcoals burning in her mind and tearing it loose
She says She's falling
She tries to explain
She‘s 'good with faces but what is my name?'
They show me Her memory up on a silver screen
All that She's ever loved and seen
Each time they cut blackness away from Her
She's getting better and I disappear
While She lies sleeping
I take off Her ring
When she wakes up She won't remember a thing

Home
Old man
Misguided as I am
You have been my teacher
A silver thread
Buried in our blood
Yet it pulls us nearer
I am my Father's Son
His fearsome, fragile charm
I have my Mother's kindness
Her weariness of mind
I will never forget the place that I once called home
I'll run fast as I can into the great wide unknown
Set sail when the moon is full and the Sun is sleeping
Gold timber on a silver mirror, a compass in hand
I'm leaving once again
No gold - but a golden plan
I will never forget the place that I once called home
I'll run fast as I can into the great wide unknown
But don't misplace your faith in silence
We are tidal
Hear us as we roar
Old man, be careful where You stand
I've become your teacher

Paper Aeroplanes
Watching old movies in the afternoon
Thinking that You're gonna be home soon
I thought I heard You call my name as the credits start to roll
It was just my imagination running wild
Have I let You down?
Did I do You wrong?
Some bridges torch themselves, some beg to burn
We're just paper aeroplanes trying to last the flight
Washing dirty dishes with a dirty cloth
Winding up my body like a broken clock
I thought I heard you call my name as the credits start to roll
It was just my imagination running wild
Have I let You down?
Did I do You wrong?
Some bridges torch themselves, some beg to burn
We're just paper aeroplanes trying to last the flight
We're just paper aeroplanes trying to make good time
Time is on my side
She'll come back
They always come back
They never come back
Did I let You down?
Did I do You wrong?
Some bridges torch themselves, some beg to burn
Did I call your bluff?
Was it mine to call?
Some bridges torch themselves you tore this down
We're just paper aeroplanes trying to last the flight

Newfound Shore
Out of the beast I took all of my present tense
I knew the storm would pass
Revealing a newfound shore
Lost on the storm
And somehow reborn
Out of the time I'd saved
I knew you'd spend it all
Dressing your days in black
Now your red dress lies rags on the floor
The storm will pass
Revealing a newfound shore
Lost on the storm
And somehow reborn
The storm will pass
Revealing a newfound Shore
We push and force and strive
Revealing a newfound Shore
Lost on the storm
And somehow reborn

Sunrise Mountain
Coyote crazy girl you push your chin into an Autumn Sun
A knapsack on your back
You wrap your nonsense up in silken scarves
To sing your heart
To pirouette
And send those memories home
I say a little prayer and press a golden bell into your hand
You ring it when you find that you're the scream and you're the avalanche
All those miles
I cross them all with you
Footprints in the soil
Wisdom in the water
Power in the play
Fire in the night time sky
I slip a kiss into the wind, just for you
Coyote crazy girl you lift your face into an Autumn Sun
Sun-kissed conquistador I know you'll rise and rise…
Footprints in the snow
Steam on kitchen window
Fire in the night sky
Pockets of time- I'm glad I held yours you held mine
I hear you singing out on Sunrise Mountain
I hear they're lighting fires on Sunrise Mountain
All those miles- I cross them all with you
Coyote crazy girl I wrap my nonsense up in Silver sound
For you to rest your head
