LYRICS
Winter King
You taste like winter
Honey wine upon my tongue
And I would drink you down like I’ve been
parched for years
Oh if only you were here
If only you were here
And if I venture
Deep into the trees
Would you dance with me upon a breeze
Oh if only you were here
If only you were here
Would you come to me on ravens wings
With feathers of snow
Blood of berries upon your lips
Eyes aflame and your heart aglow
I know my love he waits for me
In the depths of winter
But they say how can you love
One whose heart is froze
But oh he waits
Oh he waits
He waits
He waits
You taste like winter
Honey wine upon my tongue
And I would drink you down like I’ve been
Parched for years
Oh if only you were here
If only you were here
If only you were here
If only you were here

In My Corner
Break my heart with a song
It doesn’t matter anyway
Now you’ve gone
Now you’ve gone away
Baby I’m trying to be stronger
Trying to live how we talked about
Forging a new way
Through the dirt and the dust
Would you be proud of me
And all I’ve said and done
But I miss you in my corner
Telling me I’m the one
Telling me I’m the one
Maybe I’ll go to California
Like we always talked about
‘cuz there’s still dreams
There’s diamonds in the rough
But baby it’s in the low light
That I miss you most
I’ve been searching the seasons
For your spirit or your ghost
Would you be proud of me
And all I’ve said and done
But I miss you in my corner
Telling me I’m the one
Telling me I’m the one
I’m not gonna play small
I’m ready to risk it all
I want shooting stars
The glitter on the snowfall
Champagne and disco balls
Baby I’m trying to be stronger
Trying to live how we talked about
Forging a new way
Through the dirt and the dust
Would you be proud of me
And all I’ve said and done
But I miss you in my corner
Telling me I’m the one
Telling me I’m the one
I miss you in my corner
Telling me I’m the one
Telling me I’m the one

Olivia
I’m sorry that you’re hurting Olivia
Don’t know what more to say
And I could tell you you’re worth so much more
You know that anyway
Maybe it’s time to cut the rope
Set yourself free
From the pain of all this endless hope
Of how things could be
Sometimes the ones that we love
Aren’t the ones that we should
It tears at our hearts
And it does us no good
It does us no good
I’ve got a picture of you dancing Olivia
You look so free and wild
And maybe we should go back to the woods
And wait this out awhile
Well I’ve got time and an ear for you
And a bottle of wine
And I’m not saying that I’ll see you through
But I’ll try
Sometimes the ones that we love
Aren’t the ones that we should
It tears at our hearts
And it does us no good
Sometimes the ones that we love
Aren’t the ones that we should
It tears at our hearts
And it does us no good
It does us no good
I’m sorry that you’re hurting Olivia

Chemo Song (Sleeping Song)
My love is sleeping
He dreams the days away
Lost in dreamland
While I while the time away
My love is sleeping
He might dream this winter away
And wake in springtime
When there’s flowers in the woods
Feels like we’ve been holding our breath
All winter long
Holding our breath
While we wait for snow
But I love him so
I’m not ready to let him go
To let him go
My love is sleeping
But I can’t rest my head
I’m watching shadows
Playing on the walls instead
And how much time’s passed
In these days apart
And I’m just trying
To hold onto my heart
My heart
It feels like we’ve been holding our breath
All winter long
Holding our breath
While we wait for snow
But I love him so
I’m not ready to let him go
To let him go
And all the birds went quiet for a while
The trees were still
The breeze it paused
But last Sunday I saw the birds were back
And they were singing away the winter cold
It feels like we’ve been holding our breath
All winter long
Holding our breath
While we wait for snow
But I love him so
I’m not ready to let him go
To let him go
To let him go
My love is sleeping, my love he sleeps

The Boatman
I’m gonna bury my grief
Beneath the brown and rotting leaves
Of this stormy winter
I’m gonna take that love
And all that was lost
And let it go
For my true love’s gone now
And I am left here alone
With my heart
That is hollow and dry
And withered
Take me down to the riverside
Lay me out and let my bones dry
I will see you on the other side
Leave me here while the waters rise
Lay me out I’m waiting for the boatman
To see me to the other side
And oh my love I’m weary
My soul is tired
My body aches
I pray that death will take me
And I’ll see my love again
Again
Take me down to the riverside
Lay me out and let my bones dry
I will see you on the other side
Leave me here while the waters rise
Lay me out I’m waiting for the boatman
To see me to the other side
The other side
I would feel the sun upon my face
Set sail with the wind at my back
Then won’t you lie me in the wildflowers
Down by the riverbank
Take me down to the riverside
Lay me out and let my bones dry
I will see you on the other side
Leave me here while the waters rise
Lay me out I’m waiting for the boatman
To see me to the other side
Take me down to the riverside
Lay me out and let my bones dry
I will see you on the other side
Leave me here while the waters rise
Lay me out I’m waiting for the boatman
To see me to the other side, the other side

Sun to My Moon
Sun to my moon
Rain in my sea
I called out for you
The wind carried you to me
Sun to my moon
Rain in my sea
I called out for you
You took all
You took all of me
I do not know
and I do not care
What will be left of me
if you take me now
Consume me with the fire
of your breath
The taste of you mouth
The smoke of your hair
Sun to my moon....
Wrap me in your whispered words
And lose me in your touch
Pull me out into the waves
Come dance with me this night
For I would drown under your caress
The heat of your gaze
These lines you trace
Sun to my moon....
Sun to my moon
Sun to my moon
Sun to my moon
Sun to my moon

The Ways We Were
Spring is coming darling
And time is spooling out
Behind me
Behind me
And could I pull myself back
Or pull you forward somehow
Through time
So I won’t forget
The ways we were
The ways we were
The ways we were
We were
If I am the forest
Lost to the trees
Then you were the sea
Floating endlessly
In the blue
In the blue
And could I pull myself back
Or pull you forward somehow
Through time
So I won’t forget
The ways we were
The ways we were
The ways we were
We were (x 2)

Blue Light
Baby you’ve gone
Into the blue light
I pray you will keep safe from harm
And I used to say
Everything will be alright
I know that’s not true anymore
‘Cos everything’s changed
But we’re still the same
The same
You’re still the one
Who kissed me on main street
In the rain
And baby it’s cold
With no one to hold me
Now you’re gone
‘Cos everything’s changed
Everything’s changed
But we’re still the same
The same
Last night I dreamt of you dear
We were like we used to be
Last night I dreamt of you dear
We were like we used to be
But baby you’ve gone
Into the blue light
I pray you will keep safe from harm
And I used to say
Everything will be alright
I know that’s not true anymore
‘Cos everything’s changed
Everything’s changed
But we’re still the same
The same
We’re still the same
The same

Milk and Honey
Someone left the light on
And I can’t get to sleep
My dreams they are all like
Something from a movie scene
& we dance to that song on the radio
Try not to think
of all we’ve got to let go
And oh I wish my dreams could be
Filled with milk and honey
I’ve been dreamin'
I wish that I could dream
Of milk and honey
Wish that I could dream
Of better times
And oh I wish for those
endless summer days
And of I wish
I wish I wish I wish
I’ve been dreamin’
I wish that I could dream
Of milk and honey
Wish that I could dream
Of better times
Cuz all my dreams are like nightmares
Of losing you
And one day I’m gonna wake
And find that I’ve been left behind
Someone left the light on
And I can’t get to sleep
My dreams they are all like
Something from a movie scene
& we dance to that song on the radio
Try not to think
of all we’ve got to let go
And oh I wish my dreams could be
Filled with milk and honey

Sunny Days
Feels like spring again
Flowers in bloom
A rose opens her petals
Smiles at the moon
Once I thought that grey was
Here to stay
Now I found a rainbow
To colour my way
He took all the rain
From my skies
Kissed all of my storm clouds goodbye
Now that all of my blues
They’ve gone away
With him it’s just sunny days
I wait for moon shine
To light up his eyes
Then we’ll take a journey
Into the night
Now I’m not asking
Promises
Just happy to take
Whatever he gives
He took all the rain
From my skies
Kissed all of my storm clouds goodbye
Now that all of my blues
They’ve gone away
With him it’s just sunny days
Red Skies
The clouds look like mountains
Over the city skyline
Stripes of candy coloured clouds
There’s magic in the air tonight
Do you wanna go out drinking
I know it’s only Tuesday night
Find a little corner
Drink the wine get giddy get high
But I am caught on red
At the red lights
With you on my mind
I am caught on red
There’s devils in those skies tonight
In those red skies tonight
Do you wanna go out dancing
Get lost in a beat
I wanna shake my hips out
Don’t care who’s watching me
Do you wanna stay up late
I know it’s only Tuesday night
Stay up and watch the sunrise
Let’s lose ourselves to the night
But I am caught on red
At the red lights
With you on my mind
I am caught on red
There’s devils in those skies tonight
In those red skies tonight

September’s Come
Now September’s come
And I’m full of songs
They’re pouring out my blood
Covering me like the leaves
On the ground
Full of memories
Feels like I’ve been waiting
Since Spring
Filling up with the rain
And drenched in summer sun
Now September’s come
September’s full of endings
Longing and accepting
The fading of the sun
I’ll head south where it lingers on
Feels like I’ve been waiting
Since Spring
Filling up with the rain
And drenched in summer sun
Now September’s come
Now September’s come
And I’m full of songs
They’re pouring out my blood
Covering me like the leaves
On the ground
Full of memories
Feels like I’ve been waiting
Since Spring
Filling up with the rain
And drenched in summer sun
Now September’s come

Lovers in Blue
I’m so lonely
Travelling across this godforsaken land
I look out on fields of loneliness
That I’m holding in the palm of my hand
Being rocked from side to side like a baby
I cannot fall to sleep
With the image of when I last saw you
The tears that were rolling down your cheeks
I never thought it could be so hard to be leaving
Thought I’d be used to it by now
But you know I hate leaving you behind
You’re so far
And I’m already so far away from you
From you
Lovers in blue and their embrace
I have hung above my fireplace
In my room where I dream of you
And wish that the days weren’t so long
And I pray for some normalness
Pray to be bound and mended from this brokenness
And I wish for you my love so true
The warmth I have found in your arms
I never thought it could be so hard to be leaving….

Blue Eyes
You’ve got the prettiest smile
I ever did see
And you can just stay awhile
Just to please me
You’ve got the bluest eyes
this side of the sea
And if you’ll just look my way
I’ll be good company
After all this time
You still kill me
Slay me with a smile
I would do anything
For you to be with me
