I run You hide We try so hard sometimes But please know That my heart's in the right place My heart's in the right place, My heart's in the right place, I just can't keep a straight face I sing The world away You dance But only when you're drunk But I know, That your heart's in the right place your heart's in the right place your heart's in the right place, I'm just not in the right frame of mind

Goodbye 03:41
Hello my lady friend I once believed I'd be with you at the end But then you started something That I could not believe in And I started thinking Of empires and of stealing away, from this here town Goodbye my lady friend I'm sure one day we'll meet again Cos I know we had something But it wasn't to last There were too many others And we were moving too fast For the Train Cos no we ain't so different, But we sure ain't the same And I know you had your problems Cos they're driving me insane I'm sure you'll find another Maybe I'll find, A girl that I can tame So we'll go our own way in the morn And I'll just keep on singing my songs Of good hearted fools And of long forgotten memories of home Of fantasy and fortune Of politics and greed Of waking up this morning And of drifting of to sleep Of rich men, and of poor men, and of drunks Of everything and nothing Of any time or place Of wars and of injustice And of that pretty little face, of yours

Somebody told me You've got to be free But nobody told me Just what that means I think it's all in my head Somebody told me you've got to be saved But why or from what No they did not say I think it's all in my head But If you know what it its I'm doing here And why I'm working so hard Please won't you tell me

Realign 03:03
While I run Underneath the sun Needs to be done While I care I will always be there No matter how far While I stand Here on my own It was there all along While I try To find my way Back home It was wrong to cry It was wrong to deny But if it had gone any other way, we'd never realign Now I must Find my way Back to the world While I still I still have a reason To watch it unfurl My mind opens up to me In the silence And tells me how to be Your face flashes through me Like a reflection The sun over the sea It was wrong to cry It was wrong to deny But if it had gone any other way We'd never realign

Sometime 04:31
I came back from the other side Back for another ride But I can only stay for a little while Came back for the sun & sea for one last breath before the leap You have to grow up sometime I just don't think I will ever be ready To give up all I've walked towards And turn my back on what I've got I know it's not a lot But it's all I need I guess I'm scared of being dragged into the tide By the draw of the grass on the other side And the call in the back of my mind You have to grow up sometime You have to grow up sometime You have to grow up sometime I just don't think I will ever be ready
6.
I came back for the sunshine And left wet head to toe from the rain I came back for the starlight But the clouds they weren't so keen on giving way It's just expectations to blame Cos I don't remember rating the weather that much anyway I came back thinking of you And wondering just how much had changed But your hair it still grew And your eyes were still blue You still danced like you'd never seen no pain It's just such a crying shame There's a rose tint to my mirror All those things I missed were there It's just those things that I didn't They all came back again It's strange to feel like I'm coming home So far away It's strange to feel like I'm coming home It was just another holiday

Mama 02:56
Makes me think of old friends and lost loves after the sadness has passed makes me wonder how I've spent my time and how it's made my past and how the past has made me who I am and the present I am happy in is formed from things so long ago, but so fresh in my mind Makes me realise the worth of things and that sadness rarely lingers makes me understand that happiness can come from the strangest places makes me learn to try not to forget, all of the lost faces that have touched me with their touch and left me with their love Cos mama you've been on my mind and I hope it's there that you remain Cos lessons will be learned from love and from hate just the same because all that comes to pass it will come to pass again I just hope that I am ready and willing to be changed.
