HOUDINI
My shadow sits, drumming it's fingers
It's grown tired and bored of me
It's been threatening to cut itself off
To wriggle free and do a Houdini
Come on save me, come and rescue me
Before the war inside, gets the better of me
Scrape me back off, of the pavement
Come dust me down off the shelf
Plug the holes where I'm dripping through
And sign me a clean bill of health
Come on save me, come and rescue me
Before the war inside, gets the better of me
Let down the anchor, drop overboard it's chain
Keep the sands from shifting, level my buckled heart again

IF IT SHOULD FADE
A coffee ring stain is all that remains
to show that you were sitting here
Though the intensity of the colour may change
your occupancy I will forever keep near
You have left your mark
and scratched away at the hole in the dark
Burned a permanence in my heart
that will last even if it should fade
even if it should fade
even if it should fade
I still sense your presence close by kept safe
hidden within my memory
Like an exploding star far away off
your burning bright light still reaches me
You have left your mark
and scratched away at the hole in the dark
Burned a permanence in my heart
that will last even if it should fade
even if it should fade
even if it should fade

Weathered the Storm

WEATHERED THE STORM
Staring out upon a wide night sky
looking like a map of our lives
Full of Big Dippers and littered Ploughs
of highs and lows truths and white lies
We've weathered the storm
yeah we've weathered the storm
Into the clouds and out the other side
through wind and rain drenched skies
Baring the scars of the paths that we tried
a love intact a hope that survived
The waves have been like 60 feet high
trying their best to capsize
Bailing out the water doing all but go under
sea sprays been blinding our eyes
We've weathered the storm
yeah we've weathered the storm
Into the clouds and out the other side
through wind and rain drenched skies
Baring the scars of the paths that we tried
a love intact a hope that survived
Holding on, we are holding on - coming out the other side
Holding on, we are holding on - coming out the other side

Let the Light Pour In

LET THE LIGHT POUR IN
Throw the windows open
let the light pour in
your painted frames are flaking
The trees are bending over backwards
stooping down to peep in
the sun's begun shining
Let the light pour in
set to write a new beginning
Let the light pour in
the sun's begun shining
Your head's crammed to the rafters
covered in a thick layer of dust
confused what you thought you'd sussed
Complications like a steam roller
have been flattening you down
it's time to tune into a new sound
And let the light pour in
set to write a new beginning
Let the light pour in
the sun's begun shining

Feather House

FEATHER HOUSE
You're gonna build a feather house
somewhere soft to lay your head
Take off with the wind to the clouds
from the comfort of your bed
Your feather house will fly
and take you on your way
High above the trees and the falling leaves
and set you down to play
You've been looking for a place of peace
somewhere far away
To be pulled in underneath the wings
out of the gust of the day
Your feather house will fly
and take you on your way
High above the trees and the falling leaves
and set you down to play

Taking the Plunge

TAKING THE PLUNGE
Laying awake unable to sleep
on the cusp of something deep
Close my eyes and try counting sheep
but they just huddle up in a heap
Been waiting in a line to be picked
to be called upon to play in the game
Hoping I'll not be the last one
maybe now is the time for a change
Cause I've been too long on the outside
soaking it up like a sponge
Being found with a broadening smile
I'm taking the plunge, taking the plunge
A door is opening
the possibilities roll in
A hand is beckoning
come on in, come on in
My feet are dangling
with my toes just dipping in
The waters are just fine
I'm wading in, wading in
Cause I've been too long on the outside
soaking it up like a sponge
Being found with a broadening smile
I'm taking the plunge, taking the plunge
