- a sail
It's long gone that I carry on from December
It is no matter, if you remember
Mold, paper, bad wine, and too much bedside whiskey
I will roll my heart up
I will roll my heart up in my sleeve
Now it is your line
I know that I wrote it
- Amhran Na Farraige
Between
the here
between the now
Between
the north
between the south
- Be My Husband
Be my husband, I'll be your wife
Be my husband, I'll be your wife
Be my husband, I'll be your wife
Outside you there is no place to go.
If you want me to I'll cook and sew
If you want me to I'll cook and sew
If you want me to I'll cook and sew
- Braille
For you, I leave my light on
To do its best against the storm.
And you came in like the tide and
I knew that we could keep each other warm.
You bring crocosmia and fuschias,
And I, I sing your name into the night.
A king of salt and stones, your compass,
- Flowers
Hey, I heard what you said
In sun and in showers,
We all must be fed.
All must be fed.
You wear yourself so steadily,
You're ready for a fight
But in hell and high water
- I don't know
I don't know what you smoke
Or countries you been too
If you speak any other languages
other than your own, I'd like to meet you
I don't know if you drive
If you love the ground beneath you
I don't know if you write letters or you panic on the phone
- I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl
I want a little sugar
In my bowl
I want a little sweetness
Down in my soul
I could stand some lovin'
Oh so bad
Feel so lonely and I feel so sad
- Knots
It was early in the morning,
we were sitting on the stoop,
there wheeled away a starling
and I thought that I would too.
Oh for all I knew,
I was lost through and through,
in my high heels and my old dress
with my new keys in the wrong city.
- Last Leaf
I know what it would take for me to be free
To always be silenced everytime she spills tears
I can't ever leave you baby I believe
Just want to be the one who shakes down the last leaf
Feel I'm hanging around only to test thread
If it's strong enough to hold me
Then I'm weak enough to live
- Lille
He went to see for a day
He wanted to know what to say
when he asked what he'd done
in the past to someone
that he loved endlessly...
now she's gone, and so is he...
i went to war every morning
- Little Bird
Your heart sings like a kettle
And your words, they boil away like steam.
And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,
A heart is built for both it seems.
You are lonely as a church,
Despite the queuing out your door.
I am empty as a promise, no more.
- Needles
Under my cloud
Out of my hands
Lost in a feeling
That I can't get out of
Wondering why
Wasting our time
Wasting all I love
- Ocean And A Rock
what you at my gentle spoken friend i lack a frame to put you in when you're an ocean and a rock away
i feel you in the pocket of my overcoat my fingers wrap around your words they take the shape of games we play
i feed your words through my buttonholes pin them to my fingerless gloves green and prone to fraying
Thoughts of you, warm my bones I'm on the way, I'm on the phone, Lets get lost, me and you, an ocean and a rock is nothing to me.
- Paper House
We lended our heavy hearts,
motors with broken parts,
we had a deck of cards it was a start.
We'd sit out in the sun,
and wait for our skin to turn,
you would ask for truth,
and I would look for something to burn.
Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
- pistachio
sit down and fire away, i know it's tricky when you're feeling low,
when you feel like your flavour
has gone the way of a pre-shelled pistachio...
i know you're weighed down
you're fed up with your heavy
your boots
laced with melancholy notion's all you own...
- safe travels
Please eat your greens
and don’t sit close to screens,
your eyes are a means to an end.
And I would be sorry if, due to your hurry,
you were hit by a lorry my friend.
Like you always say,
Safe travels, don’t die, don’t die,
safe travels, don’t die.
- Sea Sew
there's one man, he's like
the wishful thinking in my life, i see so
and he's like the wine on the weekend...
and though he is like the sea and it's right he be so
if i hold tight he'll wash over me...
there's one girl I like she's a smile on a monday
and she'll fight to stay so...
- Sea song

- Silent Night
Silent night,
Broken night.
All is fallen,
When you take your flight
I found some hate for you,
just for show.
You found some love for me,
thinking I'd go.
- Splishy Splashy
Surface slowly at your own speed waiting for some sky. We're all laughing, we're all faking just to see you smile.
She waits her turn she waits her time, And all her love it sings it shines
Have your coffee, splishy splashy frozen up the stairs. Hollow but so normal when she needs a piece of care.
She waits her turn she waits her time, And all her love It sings it shines.
- Teeth
Waking up today, it was cold out.
There's something I should say, but I can't get my head around
The bends in your brain,
And your elaborate pain
Makes me tired.
As an old balloon, I hold my breath
Like a penance paid too soon, and with too much eagerness
- We The Drowned
We, the drowned
Hold our hollow hearted ground
Till we swallow ourselves down
Again, again
We, the ashes
We spend our days like matches
And we burn our ships as black as
- You Haunt Me
Faces in the fog
Howl at the moon like a dog
And you
you haunt me
oh you haunt me
Cracks in the mirror
