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…

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 03:47
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?

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
