October Blow away your Summer like a child Kingdom come alive With the morning fields Night has hidden Too much from your eyes Rest your near-death wings For a little while Enough of fairy tales Oh no, they won't come true Away with promises Oh no, they do no good You want your starry night Give up your roof Best I know I've done Oh no, no more to do Winter come in close Show me where you've been Golden river stones No one could doubt Witness for me now I have no faith Stitch me in my clothes That I might stay Sped my way through venomed veins Just passing through Held you like a stranger then And I still do Made yourself a crooked road To lead you on Stymied lines of weathered walls To call your home Left October looking for it's keys Carving faces into the mantelpiece Enough of fairy tales Oh no, they won't come true Away with promises Oh no, they do no good You want your starry night Give up your roof Best I know I've done Oh no, no more to do

Heavy Hander 02:35
Heavy Hander Eyes are made of glass Firmly hold me fast Wrecking all my innocent And flawed advances Feet to blame this time Better that than wine And balance isn't balancing I must be tiring Come away you Heavy Hander Give me back my Summer sun Come away you Rolling, rolling rock Taste the burning ash Wooden hopes are dashed Upon the rocks that Eat their way into the Crashing waves Are washing over me Forth and back to sea Someday I will Think of all your Health with envy Come away you Heavy Hander Give me back my Summer sun Come away you Rolling, rolling rock

Call If You Need Me The masters of accidents Tighten the screw In the presence of any old Person will do The pining of winds In the forgotten woods Remind me of how to be good Through and through No collar on you No address to be called at When rivers are drained and Your confidence bled May the forces within you Well serve when you most Need them to Call me unfaithful For thinking of home Call me a coward For living alone Said ‘Call If You Need Me You can’t always be on your own’ Combed into fibres as So many mites Made their house of my skin As I slept one night Felt the strangeness of Sorrow when No-one else sees it in you Call me unfaithful For thinking of home Call me a coward For living alone Said ‘Call If You Need Me You can’t always be on your own’

Loose Canon 03:09
Loose Canon Left myself to doubt Paris is caving in Cold-sided, calm There’s no saving him Mercy me, I’ve been a restless one Tied a tether to a rising sun Made a pact with a loose canon Let me come undone Nothing else will do You’re nervous, don’t let it show Outwards as cowards do Let a confidence start to grow A place to be understood A cape to be covered in Wrote from self to self A truth to be uncovering Mercy me, I’ve been a restless one Tied a tether to a rising sun Made a pact with a loose canon Let me come undone

Avenue Blues 02:35
Avenue Blues Stepped out into the rain Felt the water seeping in There was something in The way the sky looked wasn’t right Never mind, better take myself Off in a suit I was on my best behaviour The whole day through Is nothing ever wrong with you? I swear we cut our teeth on the same avenue Is nothing ever wrong with you, or Do you just see it through? Spit blood from my tongue Don’t remember the bit Pin tails on the last ones I can recall Wonder where you went next Where you moving away? Thunder rolls and the dark comes Swelling around the day Is nothing ever wrong with you? I swear we cut our teeth on the same avenue Is nothing ever wrong with you, or Do you just see it through?

Know Your Strength By the time you’ve Drawn behind May your luck be safe Don’t go back to innocence Buried fit to break Go home you wanderer Get back where you left Call on the animals Your sorry bones to set I didn’t sail away I didn’t miss my moment Pulled back by the reigns Fixed up again to be broken Go on you barrow boy Get up off your knees Don’t go embarrassing You make a mighty steed You say you don’t know Your strength Something you’ve been Meaning to test Think of where your Courage went Buried deep in your chest Some days you Think of what you’re missing Try not to care at all Some days you Think of what you could have been Try not to think at all

Call Off The Hunt Sticking to your guns, always Never fails to get you in a fighting strait Armoured up in shields and plates No prisoners Terrible ascent to the top Of your game Left you with a dizzy head Cornered by the path you led Never climbing again The sooner it comes Oh, the sooner it's gone Never get the ghost No sign of a surface To settle upon Call off the hunt from Another to one Begged, bought and sold No sign of a ceasefire So carry on Picking at your meals So bored of the same Colourless and carbon-framed bleached out all the pages All part of the game In an empty vault given up To the stacks Hope it never comes to that The day you need your Old tapes back Oh, sorry day The sooner it comes Oh, the sooner it's gone Never get the ghost No sign of a surface To settle upon Call off the hunt from Another to one Begged, bought and sold No sign of a ceasefire So carry on

Talk Not I gave You the cover Of a night Cold and clear I left All my riches To the dogs In the fields Talk not Of your hunger Talk not Of your needs There is Only so much Light of day This time of year Storms At the window Make warmer The fireside I’m In the kitchen Keeping out Of the firing line Talk Not Of the strangers That have Crowded your mind There is Only so much Coal in the mine Started out with An open answer Questions Leading to it’s breath Gathered up in Wicker shell As every day must end Talk Not Of your hunger Talk not Of your needs There is Only so much Light of day This time of year

Give Me A Horse Give me a horse and I’ll give it grass To feed on the winter long Give me a horse and I’ll keep it strong For you to ride upon Loan me your hopes and I’ll see them right And paint their sides anew Loan me your hope and I’ll seem them thrive Til they’re good enough For you Forget me now My bruised love The echoes of my voice For get me now My touch has cooled My last words are lost In the noise And think of me As dead and gone If you think of me At all Think of me As you think of one Who just aint around Anymore And give me a horse And I’ll give it grass To feed on the winter long Give me a horse and I’ll keep it strong For you to ride upon For you to ride upon
