You feel you always walk alone
But you never sense
who is around you
the less you speak – the silence grows
more or less we’ll show
You’re not alone now
I will be your ghost
I watch you dream and wake right through
bathed in midnight blue
the sacred morning
Tears will echo every song
forgotten and so strong
The paleness after
And I will be your ghost
Everybody walks amongst us
Everybody talks - but we’ve lost our words
We’re just whisperers
Stuck in shadows on the walls
I know that we’ve all felt love
And God I want to feel it again
Let me in
You’ve got to let me in
I felt a tickle - heard a laugh
We struggled in the past
But not this moment
Barely awake but always aware
You’re always there
You’re always with me
Everybody walks amongst us
Everybody talks - but we’ve lost our words
We’re just whisperers
Stuck in shadows on the walls
I know that we’ve all felt love
And God I want to feel it again
Let me in
You’ve got to let us in
In the cool cool blue
In the cool cool blue
Everybody walks amongst us
Everybody talks - but we’ve lost our words
We’re just whisperers
Stuck in shadows on the walls
I know that we’ve all felt love
And God I want to feel it again
Let me in
You’ve got to let us in
I know that we’ve all felt love
And God I want to feel it again
Let me in
You’ve got to let us in
You’ve got to let us in
You’ve got to let us in
You’ve got to let us in
Let me in

David Baron and Fiona Glenn – Plans
(written by David Baron)
Keep your hands on the wheel
And your mind in the game
The order of time
Switched up on you again
It’s too late to turnaround
You’re too nervous to sleep
You sit by the road
And weep
We were never lovers
Lost souls with plans
The shape of your face is burned in my hands
When the day steals the light
You fall into the night
Not helpless or cruel, just home
You’re closer every day
To finding your star
Grown weary of the road, travelled too far
We were never lovers
Lost souls with plans
The shape of your face is burned in my hands
Hold me dear
Hold me
We were never lovers
Lost souls with plans
The shape of your face is burned in my hands
No we’ll never be lovers
And we’ll never have plans
But tonight, we’ll pretend

In a maze of unknowns
Are they safe? In the unknown
Are they sleeping? In the unknown
Are they dark and cold? Unknown.
I’m just a victim of bad bad love
Did I do the right thing for you, my love?
I’m just a victim of bad bad love
Did I do the right thing for you, my love?
Pull me back
Pull me back
Pull me back
They say, they’ll find them
Miles away
Can you find them?
I know they fight on
Without me
Uncertain
They need me
I’m just a victim of bad bad love
Did I do the right thing for you, my love?
I’m just a victim of bad bad love
Did I do the right thing for you, my love?
Pull me back
Pull me back
Pull me back
I’m just a victim of bad bad love
Did I do the right thing for you, my love?
I’m just a victim of bad bad love
Did I do the right thing for you, my love?

Now it feels just like I’m falling
Baby, caught up in a landslide
Yeah, it feels just like I’m falling
‘Cause there’s something in the air tonight
Oh, I can hear the night is calling
Still the one that is one my mind
Baby, when the night is calling
Oh, my love is holding out the line
I’m rising and I’m falling
And I’ll take you with me every time
And I, play in the moonlight, play in the moonlight
But I, will never leave you
Now it feels just like I’m falling
Baby, caught up in a landslide
Now, it feels just like I’m falling
‘Cause there’s something in the air
And I, play in the moonlight, play in the moonlight
But I, will never leave you
I can feel the air, can feel the air
I can feel the air, can feel the air

Plant a garden, build a home before we disappear
Leave well enough alone
All that we hold dear
Ain’t it time
Ain’t it time to settle down
I’m not here to save you
No-one’s gonna blame you for everything that went wrong, no
I remember on the day you
Came running to me to save you
Only you can save yourself
There’s a moment when we freeze
and history is dead, dead
We’ll be on our bended knees gathered around the bed, the bed
Ain’t it time
Ain’t it time to settle down
I’m not here to save you
No-one’s gonna blame you for everything that went wrong, no
I remember on the day you
Came running to me to save you
Only you can save yourself

what is love without speaking?
when is silence stronger than words?
frozen in our hearts it’s frozen in my mind
tattered pictures
and all we leave behind
where do you go?
who do you cling to?
when nights get cold
what is the downfall
of our human nature
that makes us fall apart
that lets us feel alone
I walk the quiet path in the mountains
i hear your laughter dimmed by snow
and when the chill comes, i look for shelter
from the wind
and my restless mind
where do you go?
and who do you cling to?
when nights get cold
what is the downfall
of our human nature
that makes us fall apart
that lets us feel alone
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh
and what is the downfall
of our human nature
that makes us fall apart
that lets us feel alone
and this is the downfall
of our human nature
everything breaks apart
and then we will feel alone

I want to be
I just want to be heard
I want you to listen
to my words
You can see, when you turn around
Know you failed the people of no concern
I want you to be
If you only you heard
You let me down
Into the earth
You can’t see, when you turn your back
You can’t hear, the sound you’re calling out
You know you failed the people of no concern
You can’t see, when you turn your back
You can’t hear, the sound you’re calling out
You know you failed the people of no concern

Sentir l'âme, la toucher
Un moment est tout sauf momentané
Une âme m’a touchée pour l’éternité
Elle doit rester libre
Mais je la retiens le temps d’un soupir
English Translation:
To feel the soul and to touch it
a moment is anything but fleeting
a soul touched me for eternity
it must remain free
but I hold it back just for the length of a sigh

A quiet world awaits you
Where you go home
When you are weary
A great big world awaits you
And you’ll be ready
To take it on
I can’t give you everything
But I’ll give you all I can
I promise you a better life
Than the one I had
So many loves await you
And you’ll be tall
Where you stand
I know you are strong boy
But you’ll be a stronger man
I can’t give you everything
But lord I know I’ll try
I promise you a better life
Than the one I had
It’s God’s hammer born in your hand
The wisdom and vision to understand
All of the roads that take a boy to a man
All of the roads that take a boy to a man
I can’t give you everything
(But) Lord, you’ll know I’ll try
No, I can’t give you everything
Lord you’ll know I’ll try
Until I die

Separate from time and let go of your mind, falling through your life
Remembering all the words, even ones you barely heard
Always one step closer
Memories in the dust, endless wanderlust
We’re always getting closer
We’re sending messages to ourselves
We write them everyday
Leaving signs in the dark place on the road about ourselves, about us
In your life, you’ll build a home, fill it with things you hold dear
Take the hand of your true love, and gently bathe a child, before you disappear
We’re sending messages to ourselves
We write them everyday
Leaving signs in the dark place on the road about ourselves, about us
One by one we’re born we grow and we
Sent messages to ourselves
People wrote them everyday
Ancient signs in the dark place on the road about the ones who came before
We’re sending messages to ourselves
We write them everyday
Leaving signs in the dark place on the road about ourselves and what we did, and who we cared for, about us, about us
