Am I hearing things
Or is there someone calling out
from underneath the river bed?
Is the wind taking wing?
is there a foghorn blowing
from a sinking ship?
Is that the sun setting?
why do i keep forgetting?
am I just too tired?
am I losing track?
am I uninspired?
am I just stepping back?
am I on the right path?
or is the map getting wet?
Why are there pictures at my bedside
of people that i’ve never met?
Am I hearing things
Or is there someone calling out
from underneath the river bed?

Please Not There

so much pain
can’t explain
heart is all twisted in the palm of my hand
I try to explain but I can’t understand
I’ll walk till i’m tired
of the thoughts in my head
the sound of my footsteps
on the river bed
I wish I never asked you
for as much as I did
but now it’s too late
and who am I trying to kid?
cause you're gone gone gone
when will I see you again?
if not tomorrow then when?
please not in the dreams
I can no longer stand
the ones where your eyes
are still full of love
and your smile and your touch
are both still there for me
Please not there

So you're back in my dreams again
Guess I'm not over you then
There's hardly been time
To get you out of my skin
I guess you win
I'll stop tying you into my troubles and dreams
As they unwind at the seams
Continually falling apart
I guess that's a start
So you're back in my dreams again
Telling me how good you've been
Asking questions I never thought I'd have to answer
But then I never thought I'd lose yer
Quite like this
Not like this
Now I'm seeing ghosts in the street
And they all look so much like you
And I'm trying too
Yeah I'm trying too
But these songs aren't enough anymore
Enough anymore, not enough
When I see you again
What can we possibly say?
What can we possibly say?
Four years on a phone screen
Only you know what I mean
I've got to let you go
But you're falling so slow

How You Sighed
01:27

I was tired
I was cold
I was walking
Down the road
I saw the strangest sight
I ever saw
I couldn’t ever tell ya
What it was
Just because
Even if i tried
My tongue
It would have lied
And anybody watching
Would have died
Just to see
To see
How you sighed
Just to see
How you sighed

Clear April Sky

Call me tonight
It’s April again
The last time I saw you alive
Was then
I miss you my friend
Or do I miss who I was
Who we were, and our youth,
And how good it all was
Till death took you, somehow
And left us all here
To think on your spirit
In clear April skies
Not looking down
Or watching us all
Live our lives
And kill all that we love
I sometimes imagine
Who you’d be today
I’d probably get tired
Of the things that you’d say
I remember with fondness
The times of our youth
But writing won’t bring you back
And it’s four years today, man
Since death took you somehow
And left us all here
To think on your spirit
In clear April skies
Not looking down
Or watching us all
Waste our lives
And kill all that we love
And kill all that we love
So call me tonight
It’s April again

Another Endless Night
03:12
|

That night
Like all nights rolled into one
What did we become?
Your eyes at midnight
So pale in the moonlight
Took me an age to break away from
How am I supposed to play?
The wind has cut me through and taken me away
The lighthouse is empty
And the doors are locked
The waves are tripping
And the boats are docked
And I'm so far from the shore
And I can't stop wanting more
And then you turn to me and say
'You know it wouldn't be right,
And so it must be goodnight'
Another endless night
I didn't know which road to take
And which apologies to make
I thought I knew what to do
I thought I knew you, too
But as it turns out
I'm riddled with doubt
And I'm far too gone
Yeah I'm far too gone
And so I turn to you and say
'I'm gonna love you tonight,
And there is no end in sight'
Another endless night
Another endless night

Above the Water
03:54

The sun is coming up now
I see it from my window
It doesn't matter now
I'll see it again tomorrow
I watched you leave
Through the open door
With a backwards glance
And nothing more
And that's the last time
That I try to hold my head above the water
And that's the last time
That I think about the end,
But babe I'm over it now,
I'm better for it now
I've forgotten about those days
And weeks and months that went so fast
The sun is coming up now
I see it from my window
It doesn't matter now
I'll see it again tomorrow
So long, tonight, don't leave in this dark
Oh stranger of the night
Don't let go of my hand
And that's the last time
That I try to hold my head above the water
And that's the last time
That I think about the end,
But babe I'm over it now,
I'm better for it now
I've forgotten about those days
And weeks and months that went so fast

Some Kind of Dread
02:59
|

I felt in my soul
Some kind of dread
When I picture you sat
At the foot of the bed
The window was open
The night was below
Time was ahead of us
We weren’t to know
And that memory awakens
A part of the past
I’m glad that it’s over
I wish it could last
And seeing your ghost
At the foot of the bed
It still fills me
With some kind of dread
That summer was over
Before it began
I try to remember
I know you still can
That morning you left me
That was the one
I knew it was over
I knew i was done
And it isn’t the same
But it never is
The game is an old one
You were mine, now you’re his
And whatever happened
Whatever was said
It still fills me
With some kind of dread
I felt in my soul
Some kind of dread
When I pictured you sat
At the foot of the bed
The window was open
The night was below
Time was ahead
But we weren’t to know

I have had enough of yesterdays
Enough of all the ways
I tell myself to change
But a mind's so hard to rearrange
I know of right and wrong
Like the words of this song
But as I write them down
They become something new
I take my time, I take my medicine
I'm taking it every day
And there's no time just like the present
I mean it in every way etc
Think of just how far you've come together
Don't worry about weather
That rained down long ago, no no no
Just wait until the quiet guilt subsides
On the back of a rolling tide
I'm sorry, but I tried
I tried I tried I tried
I take my time, I take my medicine
I'm taking it every day
And there's no time just like the present
I mean it in every way etc
