By Far

If there was a butterfly in my belly

How would I feel it? How would I feel it?

If there was a butterfly in my belly

How would I give it air?

How would I give it air?

It’s definitely there

Oh, ah

It’s definitely there

Oh, ah

If there was a fire in my heart

How would I keep it alight?

If there was a fire in my heart

With no spark, and no air

It’s definitely there

Oh, ah

It’s definitely there

Oh, ah

If there was a child in my mind

How would I be gentle?

How would I be kind?

If there was a child in my mind

How would I give it room to grow?

It’s definitely there

Oh, ah

It’s definitely there

Oh, ah

I Wished For A Mountain

I wished for a Mountain

Strong and aged, old

Something to climb upon

Inspire this wintered soul

I wished for a Mountain

As I studied soil and ground

Dug beneath the molehills

With the worms and muffled sound

I get tired of tired impressing

Trying to make a dent

Trying to get your mark on my skin

Your label, your stamp

Your scent

I rub my cat face round you

But you seem so statuesque

And I retreat too early

‘Cos I greeted you undressed

Nothing I Do

I need to move always so you can’t catch me

Even though you’re not running after me

I feel you on my tail though you’re standing still

You stand still,

Still

I run through fast not touching the edges

Looking hopeful

To the light, the light, the light, the light

Oh you hang in my heart

Like the smoker who has left the building

You hang in my heart

Yeah like the perfume lingering in the street

You hang in my heart

Like the imprint in our minds of all we see

You hang in my heart

Every day I’m looking for a place to run

But there is nowhere to run from

Feelings that surround me like a

Comforting storm

That you make shake

Oh, I run through fast while wondering why

Looking hopeful

To the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky

Oh you hang in my heart

Like the smoker who has left the building

You hang in my heart

Yeah, like the perfume lingering in the street

You hang in my heart

Like the imprint in our minds of all we see

You hang in my heart

It’s as if I can never be free

And yet I am not contained

You see it’s the worst type of being trapped

‘Cos I make it like that

Nothing seems to penetrate

I’m trying to erase

The ache, the ache, the ache, the ache

Oh you hang in my heart

Yeah, like the smoker who has left the building

You hang in my heart

Like the perfume lingering in the street

You hang in my heart

Like the imprint in our minds of all we see

You hang in my heart.

South

I wish you would leave me alone

You and your noises

‘Cos they’re drowning out the voices

That guide me

How can you be what you are not?

Corset ties and silicone

They’ll paint it up and send it out

Tie your bows

Hmm..ahh

Life becomes a plastic toy

Made for others to enjoy

They’ll love you ‘till the buzz wears out

You’re left wondering what it’s all about

Spots and stripes and tigers and whales

Ride the wave that makes you sail

Live the life that finds you true

That is all I wish for you

Still Moving

I want to know you in April

Like I know you in June

I want to know you when I’m feeling young

And when I’m older too

I want to know you in summer

Like I know you in spring

Like when I say nothing and you know everything

Oh how do I love you now

Oh how do I love?

Oh how do I love you now?

‘Cos I’m still moving

I’m still moving..

And the moon is so full tonight

The sea is so calm

And your energy surrounds me

I am home

And your hand on my shoulder

Like it was moulded to fit

I find myself wondering

Could it better than this?

Oh how do I love you now

Oh how do I love?

Oh how do I love you now?

‘Cos I’ve been moving

I’m still moving..

Hey now

It’s easy to get your head and your heart confused

Sometimes, sometimes

It’s easy to get your head and your heart confused

And sometimes you lose

Oh I’ve been moving

And I am still moving..

I’ve been moving

I’m still moving..

Once, When I Was Lost

You’re strong like the bark of the tree

Unlike some others who were meant to be the leaves

They fell and flew away

But you stayed, you stayed

My heart was rusty and my soul was full of tin

But it was good to let you in

A paper heart across the moon

So soon, so soon

Dust

Seems that nothing really is for certain anymore

Second you get in the house, you poke your head out the door

And they have pulled up all the trees and they have

Tarmacked the road

And your home, your home, your home

It is spinning like a star in space

It is spinning like a star in space

And you feel just like a dandelion

That’s been blown all about the place

This is not my fear, it’s just settling on me

It’s the kind of dust I’ve grown accustomed to

It’s stuck with me

Only goes to prove that dust can stick

And we should stick to this

Don’t fool with my heart if you intend hanging around

I’ve seen too many fools and

They’ve only ground me down

When your life’s been like a snowstorm and you’ve been

Stuck inside

You need love that is the settling kind

Said it’s not the holding on that wants you to be free

“Let go of that”

he is always saying to me

Hmm, “let go of that”, like it was just a phase?

Well I like my feet to fly but they need a solid base

So don’t fool with my heart if you intend hanging around

I have seen too many fools and

They’ve only ground me down

When your life’s been like a snowstorm and you’ve been

Stuck inside

You need love that is the settling kind

This is not my fear, it’s just settling on me

This is not my anger, it’s just settling on me

This is not my joy, its just settling on me

This is not my fear, it’s just settling on me

This is not my anger, it’s just settling on me

I’m waiting for you to just settle on me

Oh, like the dust

I’m waiting for your dust

Oh it’s just dust

I’m waiting for…

Moonsong Lovesong

Winter time

Oh what a lovely phrase the moon sings

What a place to find my heart

Start make promises

Turn of spring

What a clear and blue bell seems to ring

You’ll remember everything

You’ll remember everything…
