The Good Life
04:07
|
|||
In my hiding place
Where I play it safe
Nobody harmful
Can ever reach me
But in hiding I have missed the good life
In hiding I have missed the good life
So I'll take the risk of feeling
When there is no guaranteeing
On the rollercoaster I give in
To the rise and the fall
'Cause in hiding I have missed the good life
In hiding I have missed the good life
And it's ok not to be perfect
It's ok to stutter
We all fall over the baggage and the clutter
And it's ok
It's ok to love and be loved

Fragile From The Storm
03:59
|

Fragile from the storm
A delicate newborn
A porcelain heart in my hands
I walk on shifting sand
Nothing is for sure
No one has the cure
A paper plane is easily torn
A dream can grow old and worn
This precious beating heart
This is the very start of everything
I breathe in
The way is opening
A rare glimpse of the dawn
When the night has gone
The stillness everywhere
And for a moment I am aware
Of this precious beating heart
This is the very start of everything
I breathe in
The way is opening

No Harvest
03:48
|
|||
This conundrum will never be resolved
This problem will never be solved
Never be solved
These copper coins will never turn to gold
This ideal will never unfold
Never unfold
Never unfold
I cast all of my hopes out on the field
This land will never yield and there will be
No harvest
That poison will never make me well
The downward spiral will only lead me to hell
I cast all of my hopes out on the field
This land will never yield and there will be
No harvest
All of my hopes are out on the field
This land will never yield and there will be
No harvest

Different Dimensions
03:57
|
|||
We live in different dimensions with no way in
We never meet though we are still living
Alive, I'm alive and well
Turning on a carousel
I'm here, in the here and now
As long as the time will allow
We live in different dimensions
No way in no way
We live in different dimensions
We used to live on the same street years ago
How far apart we have grown
Alive, I'm alive and well
Turning on a carousel
I'm here, in the here and now
As long as the time will allow
Alive, I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
We live in different dimensions
No way in no way
We live in different dimensions

Complicated Human
02:53
|
|||
The lady on the wall
She smiled and waved
As I recall
Then faded
Maybe it was my imagination
A frame of mind altering the day
The ghost in the room
Was just a projection of my inner face
And the hardest thing is living
With the complicated human mind
The man in the hall was just an illusion
An imprint of loss showing through
And all this time I've been seeing the world
With layers of time covering my eyes
And the hardest thing is living
With the complicated human mind
A figure sitting tall
Not facing me
Turned to heed my call
Then faded

Lights In Houses
04:08
|
|||
Someone emerging
From the space
Into being
A new face
Moving closer in
Coming into focus
To where we begin
Or have we already begun?
Lights in houses
The lamps like moons
Figures move
In unknown rooms
Move in closer
To be revealed
To where our hearts
Are healed

All The Love
03:54
|
|||
When the barriers fall I can feel
A sense of freedom around me
And all the love like blossom
Falling on the grey street
Like there will never be another autumn
No more need to retreat
When the mist clears I can feel
The strength of connection between you and me
And all the love like blossom
Falling on the grey street
Like there will never be another autumn
No more need to retreat
Reach out to me can you?
I'm over here I see you
I'm so close to breaking through
And all the love like blossom
Falling on the grey street
Like there will never be another autumn
No more need to retreat

My Silver Net
03:37
|
|||
With new sails I go out to sea
The blue whales are underneath
I cast my silver net into the unknown
I’m drifiting in a flooded world
I left something behind with the girl
But I’m here in this time and I can’t go backwards
I feel a swaying in me
In the midst of this recovery
But all the birds still glide on the wind
And even on the darkest of days
Love will make a path through the waves
My silver net will bring treasure from the deep

The Truth Never Changes
03:45
|
|||
I balance on the endless unbending line of truth
That stretches like a tightrope through life
Swaying in the doubts that blow like a harsh arctic wind
Threatening
The doubt I feel is not even real
The truth never changes
Look through the belief to the underneath
To see the truth
The truth never changes
Searching through the fog for something real to hold onto
Like a lighthouse in sight
Or a constantly recurring sound like a heart beating
Reassuring
The doubt I feel is not even real
The truth never changes
Look through the belief to the underneath
To see the truth
The truth never changes
The doubt I feel is not even real
The truth never changes
Look through the belief to the underneath
To see the truth
The truth never changes

Constant Without Me
04:30
|
|||
And you were not to be a constant in my life
I saw you face down in the river
You lay there for weeks until one day
I passed by, expecting
But you were gone
Maybe the current flowed into you
And the water became your blood
And the cold stone softened
Right through to the core
Becoming your heart
And just as the night was ending
When no-one was looking
You rose into life
You rose from the river
I dream you are out there somewhere
A real man
Constant without me
Constant without me knowing

To The Shadow
03:10
|
|||
The candles flicker in the evening air
My heart beats quicker on the darkening stair
And deeper I descend
On the stairway with no end
To the shadow I attend
Like a hand reaching out to a friend
When I remember in the listening room
The old bones shiver in their ancient tomb
And deeper I descend
On the stairway with no end
To the shadow I attend
Like a hand reaching out to a friend
Calling

Undercurrents
04:08
|
|||
The surface carries the leaves
Down the river winding stream
The broken branches of our lives
Are caught on rocks and left behind
Undercurrents unseen
Like the emotions moving through me
Altering perceptions in my mind
Through the ever changing shades of light
I'm falling under waves of sadness
Losing control
I am swept away in the deepest feelings
Pulled by the flow of the undercurrents
In time
Through the rushes I climb
To be safe and clear again
Like the water above the weir
On the edge
I'm falling in love in waves of gladness
Losing control
I am swept away in the deepest feelings
Pulled by the flow of the undercurrents

"The Scottish multi-instrumentalist's eighth album sits between Cocteau Twins and the Blue Nile, its broad cinematic sweep, folktronic textures, crystalline vocals and lyrics imbued with introspection and memory-lane inventory-taking yielding moments of breathtaking beauty."
