Follow the Sun

Follow The Sun

Friend,
Where are you now?
You seem so busy, so consumed,
To not miss out, to never lose.
But what,
What happened here?
All systems go,
It felt ok, but suddenly,
I couldn’t find sincerity.
Seemed missing to me.

My friends fly with me,
Some leave early,
Some stick around for the entire journey,
Lets leave the hustle,
Leave the city,
I’m headed south,
Will you fly with me?
Lets go,
Lets follow the sun.

And now,
The time has come,
To put it all to rest for once,

To lose the front,
I’m here for another cause,
And this one has taken too much time,
Too much thought,

Lesson taught,
It’s over now.

Our World

Feeling slight anxiety,
Girl I think I need you.
Though everything might not be right,
I still need to feel you.
And you feel so soft and light,
Warm with a velvet skin,
And a knowing grin that says to me,

Come into this world we have,
Brings us together.
Strong the bond now hold it tight,
Light as a feather,
This is the juice of life,
Lucky that we know it, own it,
So let us live it now baby.

I want to break into our world,
This love is so strong between us girl,
I think we should stay right here,
Let the rest of the world disappear,
And bathe in this our bliss our world.

In our world there’s clarity,
Keeping it crystal,
I have you and you have me,
Nothing external,
Is needed when we breathe within,
Keeps me fulfilled,
It’s all I need now baby.

Not Falling

Surrounding yourself with people who need you,
Whose lives fall apart if your not there.
You have hope and answers for others,
But little for yourself,
Do you care?

Suddenly I see,
This circumstance surrounds me,
I’m finding myself lost,
I’m finding myself empty.

I’m not meant to save you,
I can’t save you from yourself,
Not falling for that again.
You can’t persuade me now.

Maybe we really know our solutions,
But still sit this one out,
Like we don’t care,
We’re unaware.

Unaware are we,
Unaware blissfully,
Still finding ourselves lost,
Still finding ourselves buried.

There’s no way I can save you,
I have battles of my own.

I can’t begin to fix you,
It’s not something I can solve,
But if you keep that company,
They’ll watch as you dissolve.

Together

The natives are calling us into the night,
Darkness is falling,
Darkness arrives.
We steal past the mountain,
Led only by fire.
Down to the well where we drink our desire

I will love you

Two becomes three and we float through the wood,
We melt into one and we move as we should.
There’s room for another,
How many?
Unknown.
Together we’re happy,
Together we’re home.

It Would Be So Nice

I long for your touch,
I long for possibility,
Pathways left untouched,
Waters clear,
Tempered we would drift.

As fate would have it now,
I must wait for you,
I searched through every town,
But in the frenzied haste,
I lost the memory.

Come around again,
Cos it would be so nice to see you.
I’ll help you softly land.
I would be so nice to see you
Come around again.

When thoughts were only left,
Question marks arose,
Colours of the rose,
Bled throughtout my head.
A bandage and a bed,
I felt you there my friend.

Let It Go

Let it go,
Everything’s not what you need to know,
Let the time,
Ease your mind,
With it comes confidence
To live without pretense

I can see you shining now.
Let this be something you allow.

So let it go,
Slowly let the journey start to flow,
With this time,
Comes peace of mind,
With it comes confidence,
To live your life without pretense.

Glide

From up here there seems too much height
To turn off the engine
To stop the flight

And even though I’m scared beyond belief
I know a warm current
Is floating underneath

So not much left to do
But let go of the controls

And glide
There’s nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
So glide

Feels like I’ve been here before
When I turned off the engine
Looking for more

But the stick was clenched in my hands
And you can’t truly glide
When you’re sticking to the plans

So lean back in your seat
Rest your head into your hands

Don’t ask why

It’s amazing what you see from up here
But I’m too busy flying for my eyes to peer
I guess
Although my brain will say no
I’ll abandon the logic
And feel the wind blow

This Worry Is A Stone

So wait,
Things will never ever be the same here,
And its safe,
Brings a sudden change to our place here,

Oh but why should I hang my head?

This worry is a stone,
I safely call it home,
It’s time for it to go,
So we should throw it to the sky,
The memory will fly,
I’ll turn around and smile at you.

This weight,
I’ve hung the albatross around my neck again.
So take this line,
And pull me safe ashore before the tide takes me away.

Slowly, bring me back.

Miss Me Now

This colour green you see,
It is my home, my family,
And the heart of all that I am.

The colour green you seek,
Can break a spirit,
Destroy the heart of a man,
And the reason he came.

And if you don’t stop now,
There will be nothing left.

So I say hey,
Miss me now,
It won’t be long before,
I’m not around.

Bulldozers bathed in yellow,
Breaking willow,
Turning silent red.
So many mouths to be fed.

This family dream your sowing,
With children growing,
While I run without a voice,
Without a choice

Cos its hard to break down walls,
When you’re small.

Break My Fall

I haven’t seen her,
Since last Sunday.
And somehow there’s a taint,
To our embrace.
The reason which,

Begins as she sits me down.
And slowly, sadly points the daggers out.
That she placed there.

Catch me now

Cos once again,
I need you to break my fall.
Brace yourself,
This time the height
Is a few more stories tall.
Thank you friends.
I’ll take her back and I’ll do it all again in a year.
Will I see you then?

She sends me on my way,
Down the spiral I know oh so well.
I call my friends and family.
Tell them I’ve lost pieces of myself and that,

Would they mind picking them up again?

Question Marks And Heavy Hearts

Can you show me how to live?
Cos I’ve been faking it.
Can you help me to see clear?
Oh, I’ve been waiting here for a long time.
For a long time now.

Now you’ve provided clarity

And things have changed around here.
Sublime simplicity,
I’ve been happy here for a long time.
For a long time now.
Such a long time.

You got me feeling open,
Raising me up inside.
I was feeling cold and,
I had nowhere to hide.
I don’t own those colours in your eyes,
But they’re something I can see.

I don’t own the rainbow in the sky,
But it’s something that I’ve seen,
For a long time now.

So It Goes

I got high ideals,
But I can’t seem to find the words to explain how I feel,
Can’t say what,
What I mean,
I get lost in a haze of angst and causing scenes,

But don’t tell me not to cry,
Or give me false reasons why.

It won’t help me sleep anyway.

So long my friend,
So nice back then,
So when did it end cause I don’t know.
Sweet memories,
Still stay with me,
So long, so sad, so it goes.

Sorry, so sorry,
That you see my anger instead of sincerity,
But I’m at a loss,
Of how to feel,
My nostalgia’s something from which I’ll never heal.

And don’t say nothings wrong,
Cos I don’t know this song,
And it won’t help me sleep anyway.

I grew up in the rain,
On a mountain top,
Where it would never stop,
Somehow I lost my way.
Now I’m standing here,
Here in the eye of the storm,
And it won’t rain again.

Lullaby

I love you.
Simple and true.
Give you love is what I’m born to do.

Protect you,
And care for you.
Hold you close and share my life with you.

Guide your heart,
And teach you truth,
Then step aside and hope for you.

Simple Truth

I’m not here to win the competition,
I’m not here to be the next big thing.
I come here as a matter of condition,
I come here just to play and to sing,

And I’m not here to fight some holy war,
Just to sit and breathe and live in peace,
Not here to live a life that’s lead by fear,
Of what most certainly will never be.

I believe in simple truth.

Hope, Love, Peace and Happiness,
Love, Peace, Happiness and Hope.

I’ve stopped reading all of the headlines,
They tell me of such sad and dreadful things,
They only give me point two five percent,
Of all the good that’s really happening.

So now I don’t believe you,
Cos you instigate this fear,
If I spent my life on just in case,
I would not really live.

I have nothing to fall back on.

But Hope, Love, Peace and Happiness,
Love, Peace, Happiness and Hope.

Glide EP

Glide

From up here there seems too much height
To turn off the engine
To stop the flight

And even though I’m scared beyond belief
I know a warm current
Is floating underneath

So not much left to do
But let go of the controls

And glide
There’s nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
So glide

Feels like I’ve been here before
When I turned off the engine
Looking for more

But the stick was clenched in my hands
And you can’t truly glide
When you’re sticking to the plans

So lean back in your seat
Rest your head into your hands

Don’t ask why

It’s amazing what you see from up here
But I’m too busy flying for my eyes to peer
I guess
Although my brain will say no
I’ll abandon the logic
And feel the wind blow

Bare

Break these shackles off for good
They’ve been on longer then they should
And it’s high time I began to run

Should I care if you agree?
Should I care if you love me?
Should I care?
Should I care at all?

I can feel the weight of your opinion on my shoulders
And I carry it by choice

Sell off all that I own
Unaccomplished and unknown
Leave me lying
Naked
Alone

To truly understand
To finally make a stand
Bare unaccommodated man

So take my pain
Wind and rain
Earth and flame
Take my pain

Cause I’m pleading here
I’m on my knees
So break me down
And set me free

Should I care if you agree?
Should I care if you love me?
Cause when did what we have become diplomacy
I know I carry it by choice
It makes me feel so nauseous
I’m drowning underneath the sound of your voice

A Little Late Apology

For a while I sat at the station
Seeing all the trains disappear
People leaving without hesitation
My departure time nowhere near

But now the train is coming
And at last I know which one to ride
Apologies for the timing
I’m moving with the tide

I’ve been waiting
Contemplating for a while
But now I’m on my way
Travelling Light

Hey
Wait for me
I’m coming home
Becoming free
Look out
Watch for me
A little late apology

I’ve been sitting here
A bit too long
It’s safe, warm and clean
And I’ve developed a strange fascination
With the grass that seems so green

But I’ve heard a faint whisper
Telling me where I belong
So I’m taking the next express there
I’m sorted and packed
I’m gone

So now I’m finally leaving
And the destination shown
I’m travelling light to get there quick
I’m travelling on my own

Don’t Pray For Me

This life is breathing down my neck again,
This life is building fences, closing in,
Breaking me in two,

You say, you feel sorry for me,
But how, when you provide the golden key,
So don’t you pray for me,
When I have everything,
Because I belong to you,

And I’m lost in your kiss,
I’m swimming in bliss,
In your exquisite melody,
It’s everything and more,
You give me the truth,
You give me all of you,
For all else, there is little need,
So don’t pray for me,
Because I belong to you,

So darling,
When I am down at days end,
And buried,
Underneath inconsequence,
Know they’re just details,
In comparison they fail,
Because I belong to you,

Your eyes, they melt me through,
And your smile,
Is gorgeously cute,
So don’t you pray for me,
When what you give is all I need.
