You Are 04:38
It’s been a long year, in the presence of all my friends. It’s been a hard year, and I’m ready to come home. We’ve been apart, far, with an ocean in between, But where I look, there you are, a scene I can’t unsee. Where you are is where I am, is where you are, is where I am. Where you are is where I am, is where you are, is where I am. It’s been a long life, yet here we are at the start. It’s been a hard life, and I’ve finally fallen apart. Catch me out, in between, away from things you see. I find you, you find me, in the middle of an eternity. Where you are is where I am, is where you are, is where I am. Where you are is where I am, is where you are, is where I am. It’s been a strange day, I haven’t left the house. It’s been a good day, now you are allowed. To come in, come around, lay my guard on the ground, Now I’m fine, I don’t mind, you are on the inside. Where you are is where I am, is where you are, is where I am. Where you are is where I am, is where you are, is where I am.

These Hours (free) 03:04
Ring on my doorbell, I know it’s you I recognise your shoes. Come in from the cold outside, the kettle’s on I know what you like, I put the milk on the side. As long as we have these hours, we will face our ups and downs. We might go for a walk, I’ll make you laugh with stories I tell, Sometimes we cry, I don’t know why. As long as we have these hours, we will face life’s ups and downs. And if you ever forget you’re an angel, that’s what I’m here for, I will remind you, that you are loved. Maybe one day you’ll find that you don’t need me anymore, But if you do, I’m on your side. As long as we’ve had these hours, where we faced our ups and downs. And I’m so grateful for these hours, where we faced life’s ups and downs.

Ocean & Stars (free) 04:25
I sat outside the Tate while it rained, My feet dangling over the river Thames, I thought about you my dear, and how we met and how we talked, As I heard the ‘Englishman in New York’. I don’t know how many times I have come here now, To create or to take from the people around. And as the world washed by my steady frame, My heart pulses strange. And the light from the river it burns my eyes, My head feels heavy as I look to the skies, My veins feel the pulse of it turning inside, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars. People around me can feel it too, The taste of displacement in my views, And the way that I feel about you, And your arms that bring me home too… The light from the river that burns my eyes, My head feels heavy as I look to the skies, My veins feel the pulse of it turning inside, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars. Is there anyone out there? Is there anyone out there? Is there anyone out there? Is there anyone out there, out there, out there, out there, out there, out there… And the light from the river it burns my eyes, My head feels heavy as I look to the skies, My veins feel the pulse of it turning inside, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars, In me in the sea and the ocean and stars.

Blue Sunrise (free) 03:26
Give me one of your blessings, Give me some of your sins, Give me angels on high, Give me ninety-nine little wings. Give me one of your kisses, Give me some of your things, Give me company at night, Give me coffee in the morning. Let us share a space, let me awake into your eyes, Like a blue sunrise. Give me hard working nights, Give me long eventful days, Give me strangers who don’t care, Give me hearts that never dare open their cage. But let us, share a space, let me awake into your eyes. Like a blue sunrise. Show me sad and lonely children, Show me adults with no home, Give me drug addicted friends, Give me those who only think about the end. But if we could share a space, if I could awake into your eyes, Maybe I would find the strength to turn around and fix these broken lives, And maybe I could dig down deep and send out love to everyone who tries. Oh I would share it with world, my blue sunrise.

The Water Is Wide (free) 03:18
The water is wide, I can’t cross over, And neither have I wings to fly. Give me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my love and I. There’ll be a ship, who sails the sea, She’s loaded deep as deep can be, But not so deep as the love I’m in, I know not if I sink or swim. Love is gentle, and love is fine, The sweetest flower when first it’s new, But love grows old and waxes cold, And fades away like morning dew.
6.
Within (free) 03:53
I walk along a windy highway, in the darkness of the night, Feeling something half remembered, don’t know what, but here I am, out of place. Shadows whisper to me, what have you left behind? Are you alone out here? Are you alone inside? Looking high above me, I look within, Hearing echoes of the song I’m trying to sing. Now I see it clearly, away from the city lights, The song I feel within me, patterned in the sky. All along I’ve felt this friendly field of light, The stars have been here with me, all throughout time. Looking high above me, I look within, Seeing traces of a song I’m trying to sing.

Telecaster, Blue (free) 03:15
Telecaster blue, how I’m in love with you, Your sweet and mellow sounds electrify my tunes. Calcify my bones, make me ache and make me moan, And you can take away my home but give me sweet electric tones. Oh telecaster blue, how I’m in love with you, Your sweet and mellow sounds electrify my tunes. Give me soft and dulcet Rhodes, give me bass so deep and low, Give me more than I am owed, but let me play the one I own. There is a world of patient souls, a timeless place that makes me whole, There is a face that’s never old, and a sound that can’t be sold. Give me friends that do not care, and who will take more than their share, Disregarding what is fair but give me music I can wear. Oh telecaster blue, how I’m in love with you, Your sweet and mellow sounds electrify my tunes. Oh telecaster blue, how I’m in love with you, Your sweet and mellow sounds electrify my tunes.

Night & Day (acoustic) (free) 04:39
Night and day, night and day, I'm with you, night and day. Take me far, far away, I'm with you night and day. We've gone off track, gone astray, I'm with you, night and day. On the mountain stay, I'm with you night and day. Don't wander off, don't lose your way, I'm with you, night and day. By your side or far away, In dark of night or joyful day, And even if you pass away, I'm with you night and day. I'll be true, I'll show the way, I am you, night and day. Watch and learn, give not take, I am you night and day. By your side or far away, In dark of night or joyful day, And even if you pass away, I am you night and day.

Creative Unfold (free) 02:26
Come and stare into space, Watch the hours drift by, Mazes of many colours. Cloaked in desire and isolated, Feeling blindly in the dark. Lost amid these colours of old, Mists of knowledge encircle and close. Divorced from the magic of the unknown, Forgotten truth remains untold. Light falling upon untouched corners, Like rain to desert land. Growing brighter, getting deeper, burning, burning faster. Lost amid these colours of old, Mists of knowledge encircle and close, Strangers stranded alone and cold, Ever searching for creative unfold.

Bring It Down (free) 09:37
This is not my home, I haven’t been here all that long, But in a sea of change I might as well find a truth to tell, In this house that doesn’t belong to me. The truth is that I have nothing relatable to say, You see my life has taken a little turn for the strange, And I seem to disagree with almost everyone I meet, And I doubt they’ll ever see the angels that are walking next to me. And the truth is I’m so frightening that I frighten myself too, I don’t know who I am and I don’t know what to do, A lot of the time I find it hard to tell the false from the true, And I don’t know if I’ll ever stop thinking about you. So bring it down, bring it down, bring your love to me, Bring it down where I am, bring your love to me, Bring it down, bring it down, bring your love to me, Bring it down, bring it down, bring your love to me. Do I trust that maybe someday life will find a way, To open up my heart and help me see the things I can;t, To show me our connection, the fabric of relationship, We have all been a fool, turn by turn we win and lose. And there’s nothing wrong with losing, seems it’s my turn now, So don’t tempt me with your offerings I won’t buy what you’re selling, Though I must admit I feel afraid of what you might be threatening, But I won’t break my heart my heart for anyone or anything. So bring it down, bring it down, bring your love to me, Bring it down where I am, bring your love to me, Come on down, and bring it down, bring your love to me, Bring it down, bring it down, down… Stop asking for things in return, Stop being so hard of heart, Stop pretending you’re not my concern, Opening up is not so hard. Why are we so concerned, why are we afraid, Why’s it so hard to let go, don’t you know the world’s a stage? To witness our performances, our hello’s and goodbye’s, All our meetings and greetings, however fleeting they pass by. So bring it down, bring it down, bring your love to me, Bring it down where I am, bring your love to me, Come on down, and bring it down, bring your love to me, Bring it down, bring it down, down… I’m saying no to something with no hope of returning, I will get what I’m given and even so I still refuse, I am jumping in the deep end, and throwing myself away, For a chance at a chance, at chance, at a chance, to change.
