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

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

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
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
