Indian Summer

Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
For me
For me
Looks like it's going to be a new beginning
For me
For me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Taken to sunlight
She's calls my name
Surrender is the new game
Swim away while I chase
Through a willow daylight haze
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
For me
For me
Electricity flies around the west end skies
Down to me
Right through me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Running for cover
Lightning came
Again and again and again
To run away while you can
Swim away while you can
My life is in your hands
An Indian summer for me
An Indian summer for me
An Indian summer for me
Summer for me
Indie
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer
Looks like it's going to be an Indian summer

Lay the Blanket Down
04:25
|
|||
|
For a moment we're all wrapped up at home
Security but a wonder world to roam
There's a place where everything goes right
In the distance out of time
Never out of mind
Come on down to Camber Sands
With all the windows down
Take your book and take your camera
Bring your guitar down
I will meet you by the tree
The one we carved our names on
We could run down to the sea
And lay the blanket down
Lay the blanket down
Dans la mer on a watercolour sea
Security becomes the lighthouse beam
Waves and sailboats drifting out of sight
I'm so safe inside the harbour
But that's not what they're made for
Come on down to Camber Sands
With all the windows down
Take your book and take your camera
Bring your guitar down
I will meet you by the tree
The one we carved our names on
We could run down to the sea
And lay the blanket down
Lay the blanket down
There I'll buy you an ice cream
There I'll give you a lifetime
There I'll paint myself with you
Where I'll tell you I love you
Where I'll hold you forever
Where I'll make this dream come true
Make your dream come true
Make your dream come true
Make your dream come true
Lay the blanket down
Lay the blanket down
Lay the blanket down

She
03:58
|
|||
|
Once I put my life on hold
My dreams untold
Left unspoken, left unknown
I hear you come into my home
I feel you somewhere
Through a heart of stone
She
Made me see
Made me see
I guess I wasn't ready to
Be part of you
So much so
I fell right through you
Into your room
Into your sun
Into your Venus
Into your arms
She
Made me see
Is calling me
Through the stars
Through the seas
Through my twisted memory
When a sunken dagger
Brought me to my knees
Then she didn't even try
To save me
Save me
Once I put my life on hold
My dreams untold
Left unspoken left unknown
The darkest skies
The deepest seas
The everlasting calling me
Is calling me
She is calling me
She is calling me
Is calling me
She is calling me
She is calling me

The Secret Garden
03:11
|
|||
|
Lying in a sea of green
I see you in everything
Wrapped around a daisy chain
Under the sun, under the rain
Flying through a sky of blue
To the ether into you
There's nothing to be sad about
There's nothing to be frightened of
There'll be flowers
Growing all around us
In the secret garden
Where nothing else matters
There'll be perfect sunshine
Shining all around us
In the secret garden
Where nothing else matters but you
Open up your heart to me
Lift the lid on what you see
Look around your own back yard
Freshly fallen autumn leaves
Standing in the softest snow
Living in the afterglow
There's nothing to be sad about
There's nothing to be frightened of
There'll be flowers
Growing all around us
In the secret garden
Where nothing else matters
There'll be perfect sunshine
Shining all around us
In the secret garden
Where nothing else matters
You can see, smell, touch, taste
You can see, smell, touch, taste
In a secret place
There'll be flowers
Growing all around us
In the secret garden
Where nothing else matters
There'll be four leaf clovers
Growing all around us
In the secret garden
Where nothing else matters but you
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
The secret garden
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
In the secret garden
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
In the secret garden
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
In the secret garden
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
In the secret garden
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
In the secret garden
(You can see, smell, touch, taste)
In the secret garden

14 Summers
03:14
|

Went up to London for butterfly kisses
I spent all my money on buses and wishes
But that's not where the story ends
Cause then I made a wish that sparkled as it
Dropped into the Thames
I love you girl
I need you girl
And I want you to be my world
You gave me your bus fare and walked all the way home
From the Big Ben to Beckenham on your own
Your bare feet burned along the way
And I swear I heard you singing from the bridges miles away
I love you girl
I need you girl
And I want you to be my world
Fourteen summers old
My innocence has gone
Your love was growing inside of me
I love you girl
I need you girl
And I want you to be my world
I love you girl (and I love you girl)
I need you girl (and I need you girl)
And I want you to be my world (want you to be my world)
I made a wish that you would come home safe back here
And then you brought some flowers that you picked along the way
Fourteen summers (fourteen summers)
Fourteen summers (fourteen summers)
Fourteen summers (fourteen summers)
Fourteen summers (fourteen summers)
Fourteen summers
Fourteen summers (fourteen summers)
Fourteen summers (fourteen summers)
Fourteen summers

Other Side
03:32

I was going to make things better
I was going to get things right
I was trying to be forever
Turn on the other side of you tonight
Who's gonna make you a better life
Who's gonna give you a better life
Who's gonna get it right
And sleep on the other side of you tonight
I was going to grow you flowers
I was going to show you Mars
I was going to write you letters
Swimming with waterfalls and shooting stars
Who's gonna make you a better life
Who's gonna give you a better life
Who's gonna get it right
And sleep on the other side of you tonight
Who's gonna give you a diamond ring
Who's gonna make sure your bird can sing
Who's gonna get it right
And stay on the other side of you tonight
Who's gonna make you a better life
Who's gonna give you a better time
Who's gonna make it right
And stay on the other side of you for life
(Who's gonna make you the other side)
Make you the other side
(Who's gonna make you the other side)
Give you the other side
(Who's gonna make you the other side)
And show you the other side
(Who's gonna make you the other side)
And stay on the other side
For life
For life
For life

Please See Me
03:03

If you can tell them you love them
Why can you tell me?
If you can show them you need them
Why can you need me?
Oh insecurity
Is pouring out of me
Like a leaky battleship going down in the sea
Please see me
Please see me
Please see me
Before I go
If you can tell them you want them
Then why can't you tell me?
If you can honestly tell them
Then honestly tell me
Oh insecurity
Is pouring out of me
Like an empty cargo ship going down in the sea
Please see me
Please see me
Please see me
Before I go
Please need me
Please want me
Or let me go
Am I not worth a second look?
Am I not in your secret book?
Am I not worth a song or poem?
After knowing, after glowing
It's only after going
Please see me
Please see me
Or let me go
Please need me
Please want me
Before I go
Before I go
Before I go
Before I go

Talk to Me

When are you going to go?
When are you going to let go?
Don't explain so much to me
Just sit down and talk to me
Talk to me about everything
Everything is good for me
But don't explain so much to me
Let it all out
Let it all just come out
Sit down and talk to me
About everything
But what about me?
What about the things you don't see?
What about me?
Don't expect too much of me
I am only human
Circling around everything
Everything is good for me
But don't explain so much to me
Let it all out
Let it all just come out
Sit down and talk to me
About everything
Everything
Let it all out
Let it all just pour out
Sit down and talk to me
About everything
Everything
Just talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Let it all out
Let it all out
Just let it all pour out
Over me
Oh just you and me
Taking on our destinies
Looking through unity through me

Pure and Simple
03:51
|

Is all I want is a girlfriend in a dress
To be or not to be or not to be undressed
To touch my hand is to feel my quest
Pure and simple lioness
Pulling heartstrings from my vest
Like Gustav Mahler, Shakespeare's laughter and the Holy Father
But all I want is a girlfriend in a dress
But all I need is pure and simpleness
All I want is girlfriend in a dress
All I need is pure and simpleness
Is all I want is a boyfriend in a car
To be or not to be or not to go too far
To touch my skin, to awaken in
Pure and simple lion's den
Pouring heartstrings from my pen
Like D. H. Lawrence, Shakespeare's sonnets and the falling comets
All I want is a boyfriend in a car
All I need is pure and simple love
And all I want is a boyfriend in a car
All I need is pure and simple love
All I need
All I need is your hand
To begin my life again
To be pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
All I need is love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
All I need is love
All I need is love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love
Pure and simple love

Santorini
04:18
|

|
A girl from the world
She ain't lived anywhere long enough to call it a home
She longs for the ocean
And like her mother she travels alone
She's a list of places she wants to see
That she ticks off as she goes
Sometimes she makes friends
Sometimes she doesn't and she doesn't know
On an island
The younger sister to Santorini
She laid out and dreamed of home in her bikini
And when she woke the shore covered her feet
The ocean coming from Crete
Men will always travel
And find the girls laying on the beaches
This man he saw this girl
And told her he'd been looking for her
He told her all his dreams were her
He's making up lies
And so she's going out for Dionysus
And she'll see his play at the Acropolis tonight
But when she woke there's no one at her feet
Just the ocean coming from Crete
Another man along the way
He fell in love and wanted to run away
So he bought a ticket to Athens
And he'll meet her there tomorrow if she calls him today
But when she woke there's a letter at her feet
And the ocean coming from Crete
On an island
The younger sister to Santorini
She laid out
And dreamed of home in her bikini
And when she woke
The shore covered her feet
The ocean coming from Crete
And when she woke the shore covered her feet
The ocean coming from Crete

The truth is love
The truth is in all of us
The truth is love
The truth is in all of us
The truth is the door
The truth is the universal law
The truth is here for everyone
To keep us wanting more
The truth is free
The truth is for you and me
The truth is here
The truth is our greatest fear
With love there is every day
And every day is love
The truth is here for all of us
And all us is love
Love
True love
Love
Real love
It's love
Life
Real love
Is heaven
The truth is love
The truth is in all of us
The truth is love
The truth is in all of us
The truth is love (true love)
The truth is love (oh love)
The truth is love (everything)
It's everything
The truth is love (everything)
The truth is love (everything)
It's everything
The truth is love (it's everything)
Love
The truth is everything
Is everything

Skies
04:11

I feel a little lost in this big old world we live in
But I know the skies are watching over me
I sit outside and cry
And tell my dreams to someone high
I know the skies are watching over me
It's there I see the birds fly
And the sun so high
It's there where my dreams come alive
Taking such strange turns
Don't know where I'll end up
But I know the skies are watching over me
I wonder why they're there
I wonder why they care
But I know the skies are watching over me
It's there I see the birds fly
And the sun so high
It's there where my dreams come alive
And every day I sit outside
A world of people passing by
And everything will be alright
And when I'm getting lost on a train or on a journey
I know the skies are watching over me
It's there I see the birds fly
And the sun is so high
It's there where my dreams come alive
(The skies) watching over me
(The skies) watching over me
(The skies) watching over me
(The skies)
The skies watching over me
(The skies) watching over me
(The skies) watching over me
(The skies)
(Watching over me)
The sky (watching over me)
(Watching over me)
The sky (watching over me)
(Watching over me)
The sky (watching over me)
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me
(The sky) watching over me

Virtue
04:07

How many lives must you share?
How many loves must you forgive?
Let it go
Let it go
Just let all your feelings go
Where it doesn't hurt
Where it doesn't lie
Where I used to run
Where I used to hide
Behind virtue all the time
I think about you all the time
All the time
All the time
How many lessons must I learn?
How many love songs must I forget?
Let it go
Let it go
Just let all your feelings go
Where it doesn't hurt
Where it doesn't lie
Where I used to run
Where I used to hide
Behind virtue
All the time
I think about you
All the time
All the time
All the time
Let it go
Let it go
Just let all your feelings go
Where it doesn't hurt
Where it doesn't lie
Where I used to run
Where I used to hide
Behind virtue
All the time
I think about you
All the time
I hide behind virtue
All the time
I think about you
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
