After You

After you
What will I miss?
After you
Can I find a freedom?
Before you
And after you
What am I
Without you?
After you
After you
I touch the ground and feel it
As you leave it
After you
I will claim myself
Presence from absence
I will be walking
After you

Before the Fire
05:32

Before the fire
A town in grayscale
Children in the street
Chasing cars and dreaming
Wooden wheels and horses
All lost now
But everything leaves a mark
Before the fire
When we were made of hope
Every face
Like no other
Every flicker
That won’t repeat
Bags and hats
Caps and newspapers
Each a beginning
Ahead you’ll see the tower
All faith forever
We count the hours
Until they’re over

I Will Wait
05:38
|

|
I will wait
Until the fog has cleared
I will wait
Until your past is sleeping in a corner
I can wait
I’ve survived departures
I think I understand
It’s a bitter pill
That takes some time to swallow
When you’re ready
I’ll be at the water’s edge
In the company of reeds
While I wait
I will wait until
You’ve stopped wondering
Where you belong
Look out for me
I’ll be strolling the lake
Waiting in the cold air
Give me a sign
When you’d like to embark
I’ll be at sea
Until then

Accounts of the heart
Leave me bedevilled
You stood apart, like you were spun from golden-tips
I climbed to the tower to find me a better view
But really the view I wanted
Was just of you
I thought the trees would fo-old in on us
Or that the valley would swallow us whole
Life was all there for us
The moment stretched out
As far as I could imagine through
The sclerophyll cold
We warmed up with a kiss
That made us both feel weightless
The air seemed to fall from us
As being lifted up
I thought the forest would preserve us
Or that the sun would sustain us both there
Next thing I know I’m lying faceless and numb
Under the moon and an owlet’s cry
That freezes the air
High and dry
Take one look outside
Leaf and limb
Feed me and feather me
Laugh and leave
Take one step upward
Tide and time
Raise me and rescue me

Distant Still

He lives below the tide
She lives behind the hill
They’ll watch a star being born
They’ll be distant still
The sun comes round again
A lake becomes a lawn
They’ll part before they know
The star will still be born
Do you believe in truth?
Will it bring you back to earth?
A star becomes a speck
In the scheme of things
Still don’t be a stranger
There’s comfort here
A goal becomes a game
When you weigh it up
A star being born
Before their eyes
Will they see each other then?
A star being born
Into an endless sky

Some shining day
In a murmuring of leaves
You sense the change
You stand out in the street and wait for rain
In the heavy air
There’s a stinging on
Your skin
Open your eyes
I see the view through your windows
Out to the sky
Before you
Some shining day
You’ll gather up everything and
You’ll fly away
To greener fields
A covered lamp
A restless sleep
A windy night
When you call my name
A knowing glance
A secret game
A promised gift
When you ask me to
A pocket book
A lucky charm
A spiral shell
When you dream of
Just what you want to be
I can’t stand still
Just watching you
Raise a million wings
Bathe in the sound
Of all those songs that you sing when
no-one's around
Time’s on your side
As every moment receives you
Stay open eyed
In wonder
A lasting word
A naked flame
A ringing bell
When you call my name
A private dance
A secret wish
A promised place
When you ask me to
A final look
A sudden calm
A broken spell
When you dream of
Just what you want to be
I can’t stand still
Just watching you
Raise a million wings
She’s surrendered to the air
She’s alive to every turn
Fly
Giving up and giving ground
Given away
Hanging on to every word
Raise a million wings

Awake
05:01
|
|||
|
Are you asleep?
Or are you singing somewhere?
Am I awake?
Do I take a leaf from your book?
Like “just take one step”
When things get turned upside down
You swim or you drown
When your heart takes a turn on you
What is at stake?
Is there a brake on this rolling train?
What has been broken?
Might you be spoken for by now?
When something can’t be
You strive to work yourself free
You might find the strength to break even
When your heart steals a march on you
You might be stuck for a hook
But if you know where to look
You’ll find a star
That’s been named after you
