Ivory
02:23
|
|||
|
Softly, softly
Fingers seeking
Keys within a shifting sea
Somewhere they will never find me
Secret wrapped in ivory
And I am white and black and moving
Inside, outside, in between
Beauty found when no one's listening
All this meant for only me
Here where I am loved
Here where I am needed
Here where I am beautiful
And I am every sound and silence
Secret born in ivory
Somewhere they will never find me
Somewhere they will never see
Here where I am loved
Here where I am needed
Here where I am beautiful
I am stillness forged in motion
Courage carved in ivory

Waiting For The Snow
04:24
|
|||
|
The year crept by in shadows,
Oh it seems so long ago.
Lost in numb reflection,
She was waiting for the snow.
It's a long way home when you've strayed so far.
She shed her wings and threw herself
Into the storm outside,
Ashamed of all the hopes she'd failed;
The tears she couldn't hide.
The rain wasn't cold enough to remind her she could feel,
And life isn't long enough to be waiting, waiting...
She met a boy who claimed to
Understand why she hurt
He reeled her in with fairy tales;
She swallowed every word.
But it was all too fast; all too crazy to last.
She called it love, but it was just
An empty shell she found
Too frail to catch the mesh of dreams
That spiralled to the ground
It's a long way down when you've flown so high
Life just isn't long enough to keep waiting, waiting...
Waiting for the snow
To hide the tears away
Frozen desert white
To camouflage the grey
Waiting for the snow
But tomorrow's still alive -
If you're waiting for the snow
You won't see it rise
(Waiting... waiting...)
Now even when she's lonely there's a light that always shines
'Cause there's music in the silence if you look between the lines
When autumn turns to winter as it did so long ago
She'll seal away that memory of waiting for the snow

Stepping Stones
03:13
|
|||
|
Oh I wore so many masks
Before I learned to be me
And I showed so many frowns
Playing the fragile casualty
I watched them dancing from a distance
So sure I'd never be free
So fiercely protective of
Some darker shade of me
Looking back I see that these
Were stepping stones over the sea
Cos all the tears that stained my face
Were doorways to a better place
(We just hold on.)
Keys are hidden from our sight
But we find them when we fall
Pick ourselves up off the floor
See secret windows in the wall
And I swear everything we wanna be
We already are
Just gotta find those hidden keys
Just gotta find them, oh -
When rainy days seem much too long
And everything's just going wrong
Somedays we can barely crawl
We're learning to be beautiful
And time unwinds the aching hearts
Heals the smiles that come apart
All the tears that stain your face
Are doorways to a better place
So just hold on
So just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on

My Winter
04:27
|
|||
|
Winter wakes from a dream cast in opaline
Where summer lies like a ghost in our memories
And our world, darker now, wears a humble grace
My winter, so quietly alive
Silhouettes of the trees dress the sky in lace
Across a watery sun melting through the haze
And as I walk I feel the buzz of electric cold
On my skin, I drink it in, I drink it in, and now -
I am walking alone, down the same worn street
That strangers walk down, alone, without a word to me
The brief exchange of a smile as we pass each other by
A sweet exchange of sweet belonging
And in the faces of those who we know so well
Gentle warmth brought to life in the numb pearl-grey
And we don't need to speak, only listen to the world
Poetic world - there is nothing more than this
And in these moments we breathe this simplicity
Discover fragments of love half-remembered, when
All we knew was the sound of her heart beating
And it said, "you are loved, you are safe, you are safe."
So here I am, and here we are, here to do our part
To figure out who we are, what we have to give
And with our words sew the sound of her heart beating
And let it sing, "you are loved, you are safe, you are loved."

Letters To You
03:47
|
|||
|
Been a little down
Been a little quiet
Words keep stickin' in my mouth
Been a little lost
I've been a little tired
Just give me time to figure this one out
Maybe we could go
Somewhere alone
Just sit and just talk about anything
Someplace where all my questions mean nothing
Oh nothing nothing at all
Been a little shy
A little faraway
Tryin' to hide what's on my mind
Lookin' out for signs
In all your hidden smiles
Tryin' to get myself realigned
My eyes are like
Half-written letters to you
All my questions fallin' to nothin'
No answers in your eyes
You keep them out of sight
Where no one can find them
Been a little low
I wanted you to know
That I'm almost afraid to be near you
I'm feeling so confused
Unsure of what you'll say
You're so quiet I can almost hear you thinkin'
Why are you so kind?
I've left my shields behind
And I feel so fragile
There's a place where all my questions mean nothing
And that is where you are
No answers in your eyes
You keep them out of sight
No map to show me the way
There's a place where all my questions mean nothing
And that is where you are

Over The Waterfalls
02:57
|

|
We're not perfect
We're finding out who we are
We're not there yet
And maybe we'll be travelling forever but it-
It's no matter
It's the journey we're living for
So put your hand here in mine
We're better when we're traveling together, oh-
Down the river
Over the waterfalls one by one
One by one
We're not perfect
But we try so hard
We're still children
But we're taller standing on each other's shoulders, you know-
We're not here long
There's a whole world to figure out
So cry your eyes out
And don't be afraid to feel everything
We're so fragile
And we're so strong
Don't look back now
You're already moving on
Down the river
Over the waterfalls one by one
Down the river
Over the waterfalls one by one
Down the river
Into the sea where we began
There's no reason to be scared.
Down the river
Over the waterfalls one by one
One by one
One by one
One by one

Butterfly Girl
04:01
|

|
She's an uncharted island
No one's ever been
Faraway in a secret garden
No one's ever seen
Faraway in a secret garden
No one's ever seen
Faraway in a secret garden
No one's ever seen
There's a piece of her garden
Floating in her eyes
Where she goes when she dreams
Where she's a butterfly
Where she goes when she dreams
Where she's a butterfly
Did you know she can fly?
Did you know she's a faerie child?
Where are your wings, sweet butterfly?
How did you learn to fly so high?
And the face in the mirror
Oh it's not her own
But she closes her eyes
And she sees all the worlds she's flown
She closes her eyes
And she sees all the worlds she's flown
Oh she closes her eyes...
Faraway in a secret garden
Faraway in a secret garden
No one's ever seen...

Will You
04:03
|

|
If I fall, will you carry me,
'Til I'm standing firm again?
If I'm down, will you fight for me,
'Til I'm holding my own ground?
If I'm lost, will you clear the mists until I'm found
And take me home again?
If I cry, will you dry my tears?
Show me everything's all right.
If I'm tired of it all, will you let me lean on you
'Til I reach the other side?
If I run, will you follow me?
Never lose me from your sight.
If I'm scared, will you comfort me just like my mother did?
Hold me oh so close.
If I'm blind, will you,
Will you take me to the light
And teach me how to see?
If I offer myself to you,
Will you take me as I am?
If I'm willing to be all that I can be, for you,
Don't ever hold me down.
Don't ever hold me down.

Heaven Hides
04:16
|
|||
|
Heaven hides here
In strangers' eyes
And in the warmth pressed between
Lovers' hands
In children's smiles
Down marriage aisles
And all the greatest words that
No one really knows how to say
Heaven hides here
In the cold silence
Of burning tears running
Down her cheeks
That slip through fingers
Grasping at nothing, oh nothing
And maybe nothing is what she needs
There's a smile
There's a smile
Only waiting for her lips to shape it
Heaven hides
Heaven hides
Only waiting for her heart to find it
Heaven hides here
In broken promises
His mourning darkness
Joy forgotten, direction lost
Here in night's last breath
Heaven lies flickering
Between threads of sorrow
And there's a path
There's a path
Only waiting for his weary feet to walk it
Heaven hides
Heaven hides
Only waiting for his heart to find it
Heaven hides
Heaven hides
Only waiting for our hands
Heaven hides
Heaven hides
Only waiting for our hands
Heaven hides
Heaven hides
Only waiting for our hands to take it
Heaven hides here
In strangers' eyes
And in the warmth pressed between
Lovers' hands

Shine
04:01
|
|||
|
Blue shadows on the sun
Why do all my dreams feel so
So worthless in these hands?
I only want to shine
Bright enough to be
Be remembered tomorrow
And I feel this
Broken heart cry out again for mercy
Here in all of this confusion
I wish that I could teach my soul
How to smile
The skies are slow today
Funny how my time slips away
Away and so empty now
It's easier to hide
My scars behind a veil of nothing
Deep inside
And I, oh I
Wonder how I'll ever find a light
To shine in all of this confusion
Oh I wish I knew where I went wrong
And lost my way
I only want to shine
Alive inside myself
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within
I only want to shine
Brighter than this grey world
More than just a skin
I wanna feel the warmth within
When all my days seem torn
Remind myself that I am in my hands
And only I can fix me now
I only want to shine...

Desert Garden
03:30
|
|||
|
You are air, you are rain
Falling on my eyes
Wash away, wash away
Smoke in jaded skies
All I want, all I want
Is the candlelight in me -
So alive, so alive -
Only to be freed
And all the lies inside will unfold
And leave my desert garden open wide
I'm not afraid of the night
On the other side
You and I, you and I
What amazing lives we lead
We are seeds, we are seeds
Holding everything
And I breathe, now I breathe
All the things in you I love
So alive, so alive
You have shown me that
The light unborn inside will awaken
And will leave my garden open wide
And I'm not afraid of the midnight
On the other side
I'm not afraid of the night
I'm not afraid of the night

Vision Of Perfection
03:52
|
|||
|
Hiding from those empty words
Running from the face behind her
She turned her back on who she was
Escaped into the freedom waiting
Into the night
And oh the loneliness she found
Though she would ever try to hide it
Deny her self within him still
Through all the angry tears between them
She feels
She dreams
And who will see what she feels
If she never shows it?
Who will she run to
When everything falls down?
When will she find the faith
To let herself become
Someone special in someone else's eyes?
And he could see into her mind
Make sense of all the twisting whirlwinds
And though he tore her up inside
Somehow there was sheer delight
Between the pieces
Now she longs for something that she cannot obtain
A fleeting vision of perfection
And it would shatter at the slightest touch
So better keep it locked away inside
She feels
She dreams
And who will see what she feels
If she never shows it?
Who will she run to
When everything falls down?
When will she find the faith
To let herself become
Someone special in someone else's eyes?
Hiding from those empty words
Leaving whispers far behind her
She turned her back on who she was
Escaped into the freedom waiting
Into the night.

Sister
04:05

Sister, we are the same inside
Listening to all the beauty we can find
Searching for the fairytale we feel in every
Heartbeat, delicately painted in our eyes
You are the flame before it burns
Sister, you are the sage before she learns
Tumbling through the joy of sweet oblivion
Your hands ever open to eternity
You show me
We are already home
You show me
Every day we are born
Again
Sister, you are a new world
Stronger, never afraid to give yourself to the
Future as it washes you in purpose and potential
Ever captive to the freedom that you are
You are the page before it turns
Sister, you are the flame before it burns
You are travelling through the places that I've seen in my
Reflection and I know I'm not alone
You show me
We are already home
You show me
Every day we are born
You show me
We are never alone
My sister
