Grace

Please enlighten me. Enliven me. I've been tangled in your web a thousand days. These unrelenting dreams are all I see as I dangle here and wait for sudden grace. Just the touch of your hand - that's all I need. I'll understand. Just the kiss of your breath here on my skin - and I'll give in ..........

You put on your coat and you put on your face like nothing is going to touch you today. Nothing is gonna get under your skin. That damn rain can try, but you won't let it in. Still, there's something that you can't hide sitting there quiet at the back of your eyes. So I'll put my arms around it and hold it tight 'til you get home......

I Can't Stop
03:50
|

|
I know I can be such a crazy fool - especially where love's concerned. It's too late for me to go back to school but there are lessons here I could have learned.....

Love Song
04:07
|
|||
|
There is a light in your eyes that no laser show or fireworks disguise - speaks books to me. There is a crook in your smile, perfectly formed. I can see it for miles. It looks for me. There is magic in our dreams. If we take our chances, when we join our hands, we breathe life into these....

Beams of Light
06:00
|
|||
|
I am here painting my visions in the air above our heads, thinking there's nowhere I would rather be instead than here with you, now. I can hear the colours in your voice that puddle up like rain and shout the urgency behind the things you say. Well, I am here now.......

Just Sinking In
03:54
|
|||
|
There goes a string of tiny diamonds, falling from a sapphires' soul. Life flows with all it's ups and downs. It's gonna be a rodeo. Said I'd show ya how to sing. Well, baby, breathe in and out again - you're singing now. . .

|
I've got to wonder, I've got to ask myself the question 'why am I pacing the floor, from door to door and wall to wall?'. This is a cage I made myself, to keep me in and to keep you out.....

Always On My Side
03:49
|
|||
|
Bring me in from the cold. Lay me down. Put your arms around me. Tell me stories of your life. We've been long on the road, chasing crows. There's no harm in staying for a lifetime or a night. . .

Touchdown
05:03
|
|||
|
I know that I'm hopeless. I'll be the first to admit it. I know that I worry you cos I just can't settle down. I know there's no contest between me and affinity. But, I'm so bent on conquest and I'm not hanging around. .. .

Where My Heart Is
05:04
|
|||
|
There is a field where the long grass grows. I haven't seen it, but I know that it's real. It's written in my bones. When I close my eyes, that's where I go. I watch my feet kicking up stones and dust through my toes.....
