Ramon Medina The artist's emotional growth is reflected in her new set of songs which are interestingly slightly different in melody to the songs in her previous album.. In That Spoke of The Sea, one could continue to take so much pleasure in her characteristic depth and mellow soulfulness ♥♥ Favorite track: Where Have You Gone.

Rolling Waves This place looks so different when the rain comes down When the sun’s not around And when you’re not here Waiting for the moment when you appear Standing in the doorway The rain is in your hair Now I don’t like being on my own But I have changed And you have grown It’s different now we care And I want to build us a life that’s not comfortable But not quite full of strife Please help me out Oh the sea You know, you know, you know It’s a part of me And you You know, you know, you know, You’re a part of me And just like the rolling waves I will return to you Morning comes along far too quickly Just lie here with me Don’t tell anybody But we’ll tell everybody That we’re moving away We won’t look back We’ll leave today Before you knew me I was full of sea I was full of green I was full of tree And now you’re here I’m taking you with me I’ll wake you up in the dead of night Hold your hand Down to the shoreline Down to the shoreline Oh the sea It holds Our memory Oh the sea It brings you back To me Oh the sea I am like The sea Stay here with me And just like the rolling waves I will return I will return To you

Beloved 04:33
Beloved Windows open by themselves No strength to close them now You live from day to day sounds But your favourite is the bells Ringing from the steeples in The steeples in your town But you sit weeping like the rain Oh the pain, the shame But I’ve been collecting all your tears How I long for you to be near again Oh 'cause loving you is as easy as breathing Oh beloved Let me, let me, let me love you And I remember when you couldn’t sleep You used to sing love songs to me Just to me And I remember when you were afraid You used to hold me close and say Never leave me Now I see behind your life I see the emptiness inside But I am waiting Oh come on home again And I know this life is hard But I have been there before you now And I never left your side Because for you I, I gave my life

Where have you gone my friend I can barely see through to you Where has all your light gone to I can hardly recognise the colour of your eyes Where have you gone Where have you gone Sitting on the edge of my bed Your eyes red The tears that you cry are cold You’re nothing but bone You used to shout so loud When something was wrong Now silence is your only song Don’t leave me Don’t leave me this way Don’t leave me And all of the dreams you held That you never told anyone else Please don’t say they’re gone Don’t say they’re gone You’ve taken the best part of me Without you I cannot be free Without you I almost cease to be You have left me with scars I don’t know what to do with You have left me with scars I don’t know what to do with You’ve left me You’ve left me with scars You’ve left me Where have you gone my friend Where have you gone Where have you gone

Letters 04:12
Letters Sitting on your doorstep It’s far too late for that you say But I kind of want to stay But I know I really should be going But it’s dark out there And there are baddies everywhere But night or day Night or day I leave anyway But don’t you worry When you think of me 'Cause I’ll be somewhere free Along the road The open road With my horse and load But I know I’ll think of you When the gulls fly where I tread And I need Yes when I need When I need To get out of my head You could always travel the road To find me To find me Or maybe Or maybe Or maybe You could just write me a letter please ‘Cause no one sends me letters anymore No no one sends me letters anymore Anymore Anymore
