Footprints

i am walking alone
with these flowers in my hand
i am walking along
i walked away from your demands
and i follow my heart
to this graveyard in my dreams
floating high, high above
to where these hearts are free
and i have wondered
just how i would feel
if i met these people
if i had no gravity
to keep me grounded
where my heart can't fly
and i'll lay my flowers
i have been far too shy
and there is a kind of death
but it's not the kind we know
celebrated in these graves
covered in this snow
where i leave my footprints
and i'll cry my tears
for all of this lost love
love that never had a fear
and i have wondered
just what i would find
if i ripped my heart out for you
not cowered behind
all this falseness
this true love curse
now all i can do is stand here
and throw flowers on your hearse
can we take these names
engraved on these stones
bury all this sadness
take these flowers home
let them symbolise
everything i know
let them brighten my day
let them take me home

Elements

you told me to look for my earth
i closed my eyes and i tried
to feel with my hands
to search through my mind
but today my earth was denied
you told me to feel for the water
i turned my head to the roar
of the wild raging river
white water foaming
i tired to reach out for the shore
and i can't stop
these tears form falling
falling from my eyes
cause i can't, i can't find
my earth today
so maybe i'll just fly
you told me to look for my fire
the one that burns deep down inside
and i found myself
at that campfire's side
and all my past was cast aside
you told me to feel for the air
so i floated up to the sky
and i found my voice
and i sang to the clouds
and i discovered i could fly
breathe in
bring your hands to your heart
hold on
bring yourself right back to the start
and i can't stop
these tears form falling
falling from my eyes
cause i can't, i can't find
my earth today
so maybe i'll just fly...

Words

how long is it now
how long is it now
since we started?
you told me your dreams
you told me your fears,
broken-hearted
you're going away,
to find better things
since we started...
you wrote me those words
those words got me through
all those years
you wrote me those words
those words got me through
all those tears
even when i thought that
you had disappeared
you always returned
to write me those words
through the years
and i know that
we'll survive
writing words to
get us by
though this distance
may seem far
you'll always have
and place in my heart
and who would've thought
we would grow up in this way
we'd settle down
you would get married
i'd buy my own place
and i would make friends
with the girls that you chose to be
your bridesmaids
but it's now, more than ever,
i believe we'll be friends
till were old and grey

Weeping Angels
04:45
|
|||
and i see, you're looking at me
with those big blue eyes,
and i see you're standing all alone
on the edge, of the earth
with those clouds strewn all around
your higher thoughts, look around
and i see, you're wanting more from me
than i could ever give
and you're part of the frost that creeps
along the outer edge
of me, i try walking away
but i no longer see
that angels have been falling down
and weeping at you're feet
cause i know, you are more than me
more than i'll ever be
and i can see beyond
the pines that shelter me
from the words that spill
deep inside of me
and i have been, dreaming of better things
that i could never hold
so tell me, what it is i have sen
before i grow too old
for i know that my dreams can;t hold
everything i know
so i sit, and i write me a song
so i feel like i belong

The Road
03:06

i just hired me a car to drive
i never thought i'd make it out alive
i ran around and gathered all that's mine
i just hired me a car to drive
the sun is coming up as i hit the road
i thought if i stay too long i might explode
i'm like a shot gun getting ready to reload
the sun is coming up as i hit the road
my dreams stand tall like cacti
on the side of the road
i fell so deep down
i don't think you'll ever know
cause i thought i would try to sail the saes
cause i thought that we would always agree
but i know now you're no more than the worts part of me
and i thought i would try to sail the seas
my dreams stand tall like cacti
on the side of the road
i fell so deep down
i don't think you'll ever know
cause i just hired me a cart o drive
this is where you no longer deprive
me of the simple things i need to survive
i just hired me a care to drive

Eyes Of Strangers
02:42
|

a year has gone by
since i left you.
i see your smile in
everyone i meet.
though you are on
the other side of the world
i feel you, i feel you, i feel you,
holding on....
i see you in the
eyes of strangers.
your words they hang
around like smoke.
yours were the only
words that kept me going
it's your belief that
gets me through each day....
