Time to Talk
02:29
|

i think it's time for us to talk
i think it's time to let in a little light
enough of stumbling in the dark
enough of pushing things to the other side
but if i open up my hands
but if i open up and let the birds fly high
i know they're never coming down
i know they'll never sing a sweeter song
but you
what is that you're saying?
what is it that you’re playing?
why is it that you make me feel
from the moment that i wake
there's no path that i can take
that could ever make a difference to you?
i think it's time for us to talk

Storm
03:50
|

feel that cold wind blowing
feel that cold wind blow
feel that cold wind blowing
feel that cold wind blow
storm comes
bringing the rain
out on the high road
out on the high road
storm passed
but we’re not the same
who gets the low road
who gets the heavy load
i can’t say
no i can’t say
i’ve been to the places between
misunderstanding
and a safe place for landing
things lost
were things that had been
slow in the making
but fast in the taking them away
no I can’t say
storm come
storm come
storm come
storm come
feel that cold wind blowing
feel that cold wind blow
feel that cold wind blowing
feel that cold wind blow
i’ve been to the places between
misunderstanding
and a safe place for landing
things lost
were things that had been
slow in the making
but fast in the taking them away
no I can’t say
feel that cold wind blowing
feel that cold wind blow
feel that cold wind blowing
feel that cold wind blow
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm’s that come
it’s the storm…

Two Rivers
04:08
|

two rivers running through my mind
one’s the wear and the other one’s the tyne
things i left behind
old church in the falling snow
facing east that’s the way you go
when you bow down to the queen
and the bishop and dean
seven sisters living on that hill
you move in close but you never will
find out where they’re from
where do they come from?
two rivers running through my mind
one’s the tyne and other one’s the wear
they’re running deep and clear
running secret like a mystery
you turn around and you think they’re gone
open your eyes and the rivers are rolling on
the sleeping partner in your history
you turn around and you think they’re dry
open your eyes and the rivers are rolling by
two rivers running through my head
one’s the past and the other’s still unread
things i never said
two rivers running through my mind
one i can see but the other i can’t find
maybe i’ve been blind?
running secret like a mystery
you turn around and you think they’re gone
open your eyes and the rivers are rolling on
the sleeping partner in your history
you turn around because you think they’re dry
open your eyes and the rivers are rolling by
two rivers running through my mind…

The Long Goodbye
04:25
|
|||
i close my eyes and i’m almost there
i hear her footsteps falling slowly on the stairs
i see the way she turns her head
i feel the way she leaves her thoughts unsaid
i hear her whisper that gentle lie
i hear her whisper that gentle lie
i hear her whisper that gentle lie
i hear her singing the song of the long goodbye
night and day and the sun and the rain
night and day and the sun and the rain
night and day and the sun and the rain
as far as my eyes can see
nothing ever stays the same
i hear her whisper that gentle lie
i hear her whisper that gentle lie
i hear her whisper that gentle lie
i hear her singing the song of the long goodbye
night and day and the sun and the rain
night and day and the sun and the rain
night and day and the sun and the rain
as far as my eyes can see
nothing ever stays the same

Lonely Town
04:54

Header
wake up and it's a lonely town
it set you up but then it let you down
and your heart’s in a different place
and the morning wears a different face
i never meant to make that call
i never meant to be the rise and fall
of the man that i’ve now become
or do the things i should have left undone
you’re calling me from deep inside
you keep telling me you keep on telling me
pride comes before a fall
open the doors knock down the walls
truth, it's a lonely town
it set you up but then it let you down
and your heart’s in a different place
now the morning wears a different face
i’ve got to make her see
we’ve got a life we’re not history
i’ve got to make it plain
or she’ll be leaving on the first train out of this town
got to make it plain
and i’ve got some things to face
or we’ll be running in a different race
i’ve got to make it right
show her the day is more much more than the night
got to make it plain
wake up and it’s a lonely town…

someday you’ll come calling round my door
someday you’ll come calling round my door
and when that day is over
and when that day is done
i’ll look out at the silent stars above
and count them one by one
someday i’ll know what this waiting’s for
someday i’ll know what this waiting’s for
and when that day is over
and when that day is done
i’ll set my back against the night and turn
my face towards the sun
someday you’ll come calling round my door
someday you’ll come calling round my door
someday you’ll come calling round my door
i don’t know just what you’re waiting for…

Durham

riding round into durham town
in the early-morning mist and the rain coming down
watch the fog come in over the wear
and the london-bound train whistles in my ear
from silver street and down to market square
there's a special kind of feeling and it's everywhere
winter howls but there's nobody minds
when we're down here in the elm by a quarter to nine
oh please, won't you make this night last forever?
and i swear i'm never letting go of this treasure
but the morning came and stole those times away,
yes the morning came and stole those times
away, away, day by day by day
away, away, stole those times away
it's sunday morning and the bells are ringing
and the skies are blue, the whole world is singing
i should be happy but i think it's plain
that the durham city blues have got me again
riding home on the 218
but i went and left my heart back in millburngate
now i stare from my window at the falling rain
and i'm counting down the hours just to be there again
oh please, won't you make this night last forever?
and i swear i'm never letting go of this treasure
but the morning came and stole those times away
yes the morning and stole those times away
when tomorrow comes you better wipe those tears away
yes the morning come so wipe those tears
away, away, i'm going to wipe those tears away

Leviathan
03:13

sunday driving here again
the window down, the summer rain
but the grey and black of the beaten track
are the silent voices calling me away
another day, another night
another chance not to get it right
another road that takes me nowhere, takes me anywhere
what are these things that i can't understand?
what are these things that i can't understand?
what are these things that i can't understand, leviathan?
diving fish, swooping geese
the time, the place of our release
the biggest questions go unspoken
and fly from me, they're never broken into
another right, another wrong
another chance not to get along
another day that takes me nowhere, takes me anywhere
what are these things that i can't understand?
what are these things that i can't understand?
what are these things that i can't understand, leviathan?

Endgame
03:43
|

half of me would say the world is changing
and half of me would say it's still the same
so maybe it's my sense of the occasion
or maybe it's the way we play the game
out beyond the cape the rain is falling
i hear it in your voice, in your refrain
is it the sound of something slowing something stalling?
or is it just the way we play the game?
it's not that i don't dream a different story
it's not that i don't dream a different day
it's not that i can't hear a different calling
but maybe it's the way we play the game
what can i say, now it's done and over?

In a Smaller Space
04:00
|
|||
one day, your ship is going to sink
and everything you think that's true
will slip away from out of view
one day, your bridge is going to burn
and everything you thought you'd learned
it's just another page unturned
and you're living in a smaller space
you're living in a smaller space
you carry it from place to place
you carry it from place to place
you're living in a smaller space
you're living in a smaller space
and it doesn't matter what they say
you've got to live there anyway
… it doesn't matter what they say
