Wine & Consequence

Sunlight 03:08
Winter has come back ‘round Its time For me to skip this town and drive The years been good to me I Don’t Want to tempt catastrophe by sticking ‘round. White lines & sunlight You cant hit a moving target I’m going to start a band And drive All over this wide land I’ll be singing songs Forget what I’m runnin’ from And I hope you’ll wait for me back east You’ll keep the light on there And the sheets on our bed made and clean for me. White lines and sunlight You cant hit a moving target You are delicate And you’re the one that turns me on But chasing the horizon Aint no way to rest your bones Before you know it I’ll be coming home White lines and sunlight You cant hit a moving target Blue days and black nights I’ll search until I’ve found it Forever mine I’ll be home before you know it.

A letter from the queen As far as I’m concerned She spoke of wine and consequence Of love and lessons learned And if I could I’d run until I fell to get her back But London’s much too far away for that My letter to the queen Was long and overdue I spoke of guilt and broken things I wish I could renew And if I could I’d scream aloud till she came running back But London’s much too far away for that Oh the same sun is shining down upon us all If I could write on it in letters wide and tall I’d say “I wont give in no matter how long you are gone” No matter how long you’re gone And you’d know it was for you A letter from the queen In a code I’d like to learn She spoke of time, companionship And reaping what we’ve earned And If she said she loved me I’d whisper that I love her back But London’s much to far away for that And Dublin’s much to far away for that And Rome is much to far away for that Oh the same sun is shining down upon us all If I could write on it in letters wide and tall I’d say “I wont give I no matter how long you are gone” No matter how long you’re gone How long you’re gone.

I had a dream that we were flying I had a dream and you were there And in the dream we started falling But you were never even scared No , you just took me by the hand I had a dream and we were sailing Out on an Ocean made of light And everything we touched was glowing We illuminate the night We illuminate the night The world is big And we are small But I don’t even mind In our dreams we’ll see it all And we’ll go traveling through time So rest your head and close your eyes I had a dream and we were walking Through a field so far below The mountains all around us towering And they were made from solid gold The were made from solid gold The world is big And we are small But I don’t even mind In our dreams we’ll see it all And we’ll go traveling through time So rest your head and close your eyes Your bed is made your sheets are ready And you are tired from the day I’ll sing a lullaby my darlin’ Till sleep takes you away Until sleep takes you away You’ll wake up to a brand new day My darlin’ go in dreams and play.

I’ve been feeling like the world is ending today There was smoke and there was fire it was all in my brain I took a risk, took a chance but it didn’t work out I feel the work-a-days on the train staring me down It’ll be awhile but I know that I’ll be fine Just stay the course and take the falls It just takes time You called me up you said, “I’m feeling like a leaf on the sea Time go’s so fast the only thing I can remember is leaving” I feel it too and I’ve searched through every bar in this town For a drink or a pill that will help it go down It’ll be awhile but I know that I’ll be fine Just stay the course and take the falls It just takes time I know it can be hard When you’re chasing days When the sun is setting it raising once again somewhere So in the morning lets do nothing till a quarter to 3 And then we’ll walk down by the harbour and look back at the city We’ll watch the clouds, and the boats, and the plane’s as they fly We’ll think of ways to stop us feeling like were saying goodbye All the time It’ll be awhile but I know that we’ll be fine Just stay the course and take the falls It just takes time It’ll be awhile but I know that we’ll be fine Just stay the course and take the falls It just takes time.

Satellite 06:09
I’ve been Roaming the world like a leaf on the sea Following currents and chasing the breeze There’s salt in my eyes And I’ve no idea where I’ve been The satellites fly Over above me like the stars they shine I feel that it’s you looking down from their eyes It fills me with hope That you go wherever I go Oh, my love and my life Keep me by your side I feel that I’m sinking And love For what it is worth I’m roaming the earth to find us a better life So stay with me satellite The shore finds me Deep in the darkest night and now I’m blowing Up through the forest and over the tree’s Wherever I go, your somewhere above me I know Oh, my love and my life Keep me by your side I feel that I’m sinking And love For what it is worth I’m roaming the earth to find us a better life So stay with me satellite The tree’s clear I’m now in a town that looks so familiar And everything that we could need I right here I’m searching through windows I’m trying to find you And everyone knows you But no one has seen you I think I might know where you are Oh, my love and my life Keep me by your side I feel that I’m sinking And love For what it is worth I’m roaming the earth to find us a better life So stay with me satellite.

I feel like a shivering child I’m watching the day turn to night The wind’s a policeman Telling me “Go back inside” I thought about chances I’d missed This cant last forever oneday something will stick As the twilight twirled above our heads I would give anything for someone who’d listen And I would give anything for someone who’d care I’ll write you a love song and then tear it to pieces So no one will ever hear Now the sailors have all come ashore As the waves beat the boats on the moors Now that their back I cant see the horizon no more I keep finding letters all water logged washed on the shore I would give anything for someone who’d listen And I would give anything for someone who’d care I’ll write you a love song and then tear it to pieces So no one will ever hear Maybe I’m a castaway And there’s a search party looking for me Making a fire with twigs and old leaves when they see the smoke They think it’s a cloud that they’re seeing. I’ve still got nothing to show until I teach myself how to build boats I would give anything for someone who’d listen And I would give anything for someone who’d care I’ll write you a love song and then tear it to pieces So no one will ever hear.
