Five Hours
I’m already going to fall
Between the shadows
Between the wall
You are waiting
For sunlight to
Deliberating
My love what will I do?
I’m no way
Ride go
Say you’ll stay
I told you so
Feel like the wind
Flow river flow
Come on lay your fears down
I say I’m naked
I fathered a son
We called him Moses
And the love began
If I’m always saying Lord
Will you come release me, Father?
If I rode take my load
And fold it away
In my head I feel like the night
Running wild in sweet delight
Will you come, take the bait?
Face don’t deliberate
Change yourself
Hide out in the cold mountain air
Oh, rage come and take me
With you, cold autumn child
War ride, feign love
I have been your wife before
In another world that we don’t have access to
But I remember you
And the way we’d move
And the way we’d play
Five times an hour I waited
And five times I flowered like
The summer sun
Come
Wake me up
The summer sun
Come, wake me up
I am only five hours away from you
I am only five hours away for you
I am only five hours away from you
I am only five hours away from you
I am only five hours away
I am only five hours away
I am only five hours away stay
I am only five hours away from you
I am only five hours away from you

Siren Song
I lay my body
Beneath the waves
I tied myself to your words
I look for you
By the moonlight
We try to calm
Each other down
But you are loved
I say I don’t
Need light to see
The blue is aluminium to me
I can’t die before my time
‘Cos sirens have no nursery rhymes
You come and say you don’t believe
In love or light or anything I might
You take the side of the Gods you know
We wait beneath the tide to go under moonlight
Under moonlight
I don’t want to cause a fuss
But siren’s do
We do what we must
And I desire you
From the coral abode
And I desire you
Don’t you know?
I cannot go away
The night is jasmine
Heady don’t you say?
Sailor come
Sailor come
Sailor come
Sailor come
O’ come
O’ come
O’ come
O’ come
O’ come

O’ Fire Come
I saw your face
Like heaven sent
You lied above
Fire I leant
You came to me
Like father said
Bearing your gifts
Of love and reason
The Dorset sky
Was bluer than
My only abode
And I have wed
All of the town
But you’re the one for me
You make me laugh
You wear silver
In your hair
You have eyes of Flowers
Lavender, come on
We wait
Till I have been
Your saving grace Father seem
Take me, I’m all light
Figure eight
Start up saying love a favour is
Come on
You tired one
Lift your head up high
Come on, come on
You can
Reach the sky
Reach the sky
Father love
Failing everything I do I feel no good
But he says: “You are
A distant star,
Come on, fire it up
Get it up girl.
You are
Not to waste
Your precious days
Feeling like there is no rhyme or reason left."
Come on
Take me away
Fire, come on
Burn me today
With your…

Lo and Behold

Lo and Behold
O’ Lord wait
Find the path to my heart
O’ Lord carry your body before
I have all my weight in gold
With me in a sack which I hold
No rest for the wicked, he says
No rest for the wicked, he says
But I am not wicked, I cry
To which my Lord looks me in the eye
And lo and behold my body
And lo and behold my face
And lo and behold my aching limbs
Go and walk yourself away
The slight of the eye is for you
We speak not to, but for you
I know I am alone in my abode
But you accompany me wherever I go
Stay by me
Chastise me
Hello? I have been here before
You cry
Your eyes out
If I help you, would you leave
And go and discover yourself like you will?
And I only want what’s best for you
And I only need what you will
And baby I hurt for you
Go my lover go
Go go go

Second Skin
We were like
Lovers until
The sky it broke
Your stubborn will
Now I have tried
To open up
The way I am
So I can love
And you, you came
Like driving rain
With your words
An earthquake came
What will I know
When I call out for snow
And the sky is so low
And they challenge me to let go
Of my ways, my words, my deeds
My only Godspeed
The way I let you in
Was no mistake
But I, your woman
For time has come
Take me away
Driver love, oh, oh
I say you’re ready
To ask me out
The right way
Words I do without
O’ take me in love, come
Your second skin, my love come
Wrap it around me, undone
You are my, woman

Jasmine

Jasmine
Stay here for
Five hours more
Wait until I come
Bearing gifts of sun
I sold my soul for a bit of gold
And now Lord
He’s laughing at my hole
But Lord don’t laugh at me
Oh Lord I’m bleeding
Don’t you see?
And the souls and souls
I write it down
And in the heart
I feel beneath my crown
And your already waiting for
The way that I might fall, might fall, might fall, might fall
O' jasmine, come sweetly
Into my abode
I will await you
In the height
of the summer night
And the car is gone
He took her with him
They lay down side by side
Oh Lord I am not for believing
All that you put inside
In the back of some man’s caravan
In the back of some poor man's...
I’m not, I’m not for leaving
All that, all that, I am, I am
All that, all that, I am, I am
All that, I am, I am
All that, all that, I am, I am
In the back of some man’s caravan
In the summer, in June, I am
Waiting for word from you
To tell me what I should do
For the sight of the cliffs at dawn
Has wakened me from my sleep
And the sound of the waves crashing down
Has taught me how to weep
And the sound of the cradle at dawn
And the moon all silver in her sleep
Has kept me in your thoughts
And I have waited to weep
And I know that the waves crash below
But I sense that I am letting go
Of the fear that has kept me here
Prisoner to all I fear
And the night will hold us tight
And I’ll wait I’ll wait for dawn
For the first ray of sunlight
To put to bed the night
For the first ray of sunlight
To put to bed the night
