You lean in so soft
Sun is rising
Again as we begin
We begin so slow
I don't ever wanna leave
Don't ever wanna go
Lovers in the morning light
Lovers in the morning light
Light as each caress
Floats upon our skin
Your name upon my breath
You know every word
The ones I’ve never spoke
That no-one's ever heard
Lovers in the morning light
Lovers in the morning light
Wait, don't move, I feel
Almost everything
Delicate revealed
Lain upon your breast
We speak in velvet tongues
Until at last we rest
Lovers in the morning light
Lovers in the morning light

Echoes

Try, try to see my point of view
Echoes of another you
Saving up your indiscretions
I've seen the wild untameable
More than less unshakeable
Shaper who has named me shameless
So leave me be I'm tempted
Every rule I bend it
I shake the weight and break the hate
With everything that I am made of
Try, try to see my point of view
Echoes of another you
Saving up your indiscretions
I've seen the wild untameable
More than less unshakeable
Shaper who has named me shameless
I'm looking for a friend to get me out of my head
This chamber of reflections is just
Paved with all my good intentions
Try, try to see my point of view
Echoes of another you
Saving up your indiscretions
I've seen the wild untameable
More than less unshakeable
Shaper who has named me shameless
So if you are less stressed
Let us put this to the test
For who is love when loving not
Those who have not loving got?
Try, try to see my point of view
Echoes of another you
Saving up your indiscretions
I've seen the wild untameable
More than less unshakeable
Shaper who has named me shameless

Let Love Win

If I woke up floating on the ocean
I’d be hoping
Because hoping is a remedy
Combined with arms
I’m blessed to have to swim me
And faith I’ll find the shore
I am one of those who share this hopeful world view
Love is all we have, we have nothing we can lose
Let love out and let love in
Let love play and let love win
When I woke up left by her I trusted
My heart was busted
But now it’s reconstructed
And larger thanks to scars that stretched it
Wider, wider, wider than before
I am one of those who share this hopeful world view
Love is all we have, we have nothing we can lose
Let love out and let love in
Let love play and let love win
Oh, you, wandering soul
You have found a home
Oh, you, wandering soul
You are not alone
Noooo, nooooo
I am one of those who share this hopeful world view
Love is all we have, we have nothing we can lose
Let love out and let love in
Let love play and let love win

Undone

I am undone
Come apart at the seams
And it's so easy
Become a part like me
Well I'm here naked
That's the truth and so are you
And it's ok to remember that it's ok to
Really feel it, feel every little bit
You have saved now
All your love for something true
Give it all now
To courageous ones like you
I take my shoes off
When I'm entering your home
To be barefoot
In the kingdom where you roam
Your heart's a temple
I am worshipping in it
My heart is simple
It loves to sit and be sunlit
You have saved now
All your love for something true
Give it all now
To courageous ones like you
I see you coming
Leave behind your heavy load
Life's a race, but only when you're running
Pack your bag, we're gonna hit the road
Seems I'm crazy, but I don't mind so much
When I'm labelled lazy by those filling up
Their time with busy, busy this and busy that
It seems that crazy comes in many flavoured hats
I seem weird to those who fill their minds with stuff
Cos I like empty emptiness seems just enough, to me
Emptiness is just enough...

Twilight fell upon the darkening road
I found myself, again, alone
Street lights went out by one by two by three
And I revelled in the shadows that had grown
Oh yes I revelled in the darkness I had known
I'd been there and back again so many times I knew
That the dance I danced was anything but new
Still, I had seen him watching me that old man in the moon
And I thought hey well what else can I do
I'm here to dance I'm gonna dance until it's through
Wrestling in the desert of this broken afternoon
Makes me wish I packed my wrestling costume
Yes the jester is all dressed up as if he was a loon
Have you listened much to what it is he's doing?
Oh, there's such method in the madness of his tune
Traveller been travelling for oh so many years
He's worn right through his effervescent fears
Listening to everything he treads so soft he hears
The world whisper softly in his ears
Saying, "everything is not what it appears."
