Bird Be Brave

These walls are too thin
Leave me shivering
I wait for a sign
My thoughts are too big
Pushing at the ceiling
Taste the outside
Weeks of self run time
Cycles drifting by
Trees losing their leaves
Safety net too soon
Remembering the womb
Dark as far as I can see
Winter it will pass
In the meantime warm my heart
You’re gentle because you’re brave
Bird in the nest, first flight to take
Stitches that she sewed
All those year ago
Tight at the seams
Threads holding so thin
Time unravelling
Her work is unseen
Winter it will pass
In the meantime warm my heart
You’re gentle because you’re brave
Bird in the nest, first flight to take
Time to let go…
Carry on now, the road is clear
Carry on now, there’s always fear
Carry on now, I know you’re close
On a path you can’t follow
There’s a part of you in me, always
Winter it will pass
In the meantime warm my heart
You’re gentle because you’re brave
Bird in the nest, first flight to take

Life Carries Me On
04:10
|

|
I crave the morning light
The songbirds taking flight
Pale blue of a new day
Naked in bloom
My heart seeks the old stories
The lives that together they weave
In the palm of my hand I hold
Sand of gold
Night fades to day, day fades to night
Each breath that we take is one more for life
I’m part of it all, all is part of me
Simultaneously
A trail of places that I call home
A thousand faces that I have known
In each I found a space to belong
Life carries me on
I stretch my spine like a tree
Towards the clouds I reach
Dance with the wind
Expanding endlessly
Night fades to day, day fades to night
Each breath that we take is one more for life
I’m part of it all, all is part of me
Simultaneously
A trail of places that I call home
A thousand faces that I have known
In each I found a space to belong
Life carries me on

Tenderly
03:41
|

|
My heart is breaking wide open
Trying to heal the wound you’ve got
I know I can’t do much but stand by and watch
As you bleed and carry on
This has happened before
You give and you take
Sometimes we fall one step too far, that’s when it’s ok
To ask a friend to lend a hand
We may be broken but we’re only moving closer to healing
Over those lost hopes and dreams, don’t mind a sigh, don’t mind a cry
Hold onto you, hold onto me
Reading the water
Layers of thoughts
Ripples on top, deep down there’s stillness and calm
Why don’t you let yourself go there for a moment?
The currents sing you to sleep
We may be broken but we’re only moving closer to healing
Over those lost hopes and dreams, don’t mind a sigh, don’t mind a cry
Hold onto you, hold onto me
Heal the wound, sow by the moon
Ponder this, the seasons shift
But there are always flowers blooming in the garden
So plant your seeds and water them tenderly
Water them tenderly

Float
04:52
|

|
Those years are gone, gone with the wind
Her mind is strong, her body’s longing
For younger days, heart aches
The river flows on through
Float when you can
Swim with the currents, they’ve got a plan
Float when you can
Trust in the water, even when it’s changing
There is no hurt, that can’t be healed by love
Those were her words, a life lived with care and trust
To walk alone, it’s a long road
The burden of love to share will take you there, will take you there
Float when you can
Swim with the currents, they’ve got a plan
Float when you can
Trust in the water, even when it’s changing
Lost dreams, not forgotten
Past lives, time wouldn’t soften

Story of a River
04:51
|
|||
|
Crystal clear, the water reveals
Shallows speak, sand and stones beneath my feet
Our sweetest hearts, they’re beating fast
Anticipating, the task we’re facing
The story of a river it speaks to my bones
Through layers of skin the silky flow
Hold your breath and listen
Listen
The river it sings
Somewhere in the middle, there’s a monster waiting to take me under
Somewhere in the middle, where the murky depths they take my breath away
Somewhere in the middle, we find our strength and let our defences fall
Somewhere in the middle of it all
The story of a river it speaks to my bones
Through layers of skin the silky flow
Hold your breath and listen
Listen
The river it sings

Precious Burden
05:23
|
|||
|
Dropping altitude too quickly
Shadows shifting, this ride is sickly sweet
Don’t mind if I close my eyes
Who knows where we’re falling
Parallel living holding hands
You’re good at forgiving like wind wiping words from the sand
We hold a dark place within us each
Choose when to share that piece
Hold me close, so I can feel your heartbeat on mine
Hold me close, keep my anchor turning
Be my precious burden
Am I too slow motion moving?
In your fast forward living, balance shifting, trying to equalise
Weigh your position carefully
As I underline mine
Hold me close, so I can feel your heartbeat on mine
Hold me close, keep my anchor turning
Be my precious burden

Steady Ground
04:24
|
|||
|
We’ve got all we could want, all we could need
But there’s something more
We’ve got grand plans and the trust to believe them
It’s all in our sight, we’re taking our time, holding it tight, babe it feels right
But there’s something more
Keep your feet
Next to me
Together we will find
Our steady ground
We’ve spent long nights talking, into the early hours of the morning
Hearing each other out is something we’re proud of, oh babe I’d give all my days to you
We’ve wished on the stars, shared our guitars, kissed under the moon, surely soon
We’ll find something more
Keep your feet
Next to me
Together we will find
Our steady ground
Do you feel it, like I feel it now?
One more crack in the wall on the edge of it all, let’s break it down
And stand on steady ground
Stand on steady ground
Keep your feet
Next to me
Together we will find
Our steady ground

Ghosts
04:40
|
|||
|
I’ve been watching the stars as they move through the night
I’ve been watching the milky way shining bright
I’m holding onto every breath that I feel
Hoping the darkness will hold me still
My ghosts they live in the eye of the storm
They won’t be going anywhere till I let the winds
Carry them on
Sun brings the morning to my window pane
A song no curtain can quiet, no fabric contain
With my eyes closed I see with my skin
Bare my body so the warmth seeps on in
My ghosts they live in the eye of the storm
They won’t be going anywhere till I let the winds
Carry them on

Solitary Dreaming
04:35
|
|||
|
My throat is closed to keep my words unspoken
Teach me patience please
My song it seeks an echo in the sea
My gaze searches the horizon
Silent observer
Humble lover
Quiet maker of me
Beauty from a wound is beauty infused with feeling
Ache of desperation to emerge to be heard
No limits to giving all that you've got
No boundaries built, keep my corners soft
Silent observer
Humble lover
Quiet maker of me
Oh the candle burns, a flame to return to
Hopeful nights, solitary dreaming of mine
Silent observer
Humble lover
Quiet maker of me

Love Holds Me Still
03:45
|
|||
|
Questioning everything
Indecisive, roll the dice it’s
A dance between the strings
Overexposed and young
On the inside, like a child
Sensitive and undone
I’ve got love to hold me
It’s enough to hold me
I’ve got love to hold me
Love holds me still, holds me still
Wandering over
Well travelled soil
With rattling bones I’m headed home
Low mountains, long rivers
Trees quiver
In the breath of the wind
It’s here that I rest
Where everything makes sense
And I know that I’m blessed
Lead me to the present
I’m caught up in the seams
Tell me time is finite
There’s a whole world inside my dreams
I’ve got love to hold me
It’s enough to hold me
I’ve got love to hold me
Love holds me still, holds me still

Time Will Show
03:42
|
|||
|
Hold out my hands
This feeling is loud
Empty my pockets
Light as a cloud
I stand at the door
Wait patiently
Knock on the future
Free from gravity
Time will show, the path I chose
I think deep down, I already know
Time will reveal, all the things I’ve concealed
I think deep down, I’m already here
Ready to wander
The river runs deep
Carving beds of stone
Soft of eyes, hard on feet
Fog on the fields
Doubt rolls on over
Settling low
Feet do not falter
Time will show, the path I chose
I think deep down, I already know
Time will reveal, all the things I’ve concealed
I think deep down, I’m already here
