The thing about the setting sun
is that it will rise right back up again.
The thing about the cold wind
is that it will fade at winters end.
And everybody, everywhere, will sing a song and say a prayer,
for the ones they love and the ones they don’t,
And oh, there’s the ones that won’t ever got to see, ever get to feel, ever get to share what is real,
They shrink ‘em down to truth and lies,
and scale them right back up to size.
The thing about the color blue
is that it’s all over when it comes to you.
The thing about these memories
is they aren’t fleeting, they simply choose to freeze.
And everybody, everywhere, will sing a song and say a prayer,
for the man who loved and the man who lost,
Everything, but at what cost? He chose to see, he chose feel,
he chose to share what is real,
They shrunk him down to truth and lies,
and scaled him right back up to size.
There is no fall from beauty or from grace,
just stick around and feel at home,
there is no one to take your place.
There is no meaning in the words “I will compare”,
there ain’t much to choose from when there ain’t no one there.

Light of Your Life

I’ll make you feel,
like no one compares, like nothing comes close
to this love, and its keeping you afloat.
Come closer my darling, reach out for me.
Take my hand and I’ll steal you away from here.
‘cause you make me feel,
like the grass ain’t that green, on their side of the fence,
we’ve got hope, and it’s keeping us afloat.
Breathe deeper my darling, call out for me.
Don’t worry now, we’ll make it out together.
I’ll make your world spin a little slower than it should,
And I’d understand, when no one else would.
We’ll stare up night after night, at these stars.
You bring the soul to these words as they turn into yours.
Lately all that I can see, is rainy weather outside,
But the light of your life, takes my mind off the grey in the sky.
Lately I’ve been starting to learn about a heavy heart,
How it can bring you down as it goes, down as it goes.

Sleep

I will find my way out of this mess I've made around me,
Yes I've been told I clean up good
And I will wake up early and I'll
shake away these Monday morning blues the ones that bring us down
And I will savour ever second of this sunrise
its changing all the colours in my view from white to golden yellow
And I will live this life like you expected
Like its described in stories
that we read our little children as they sleep
And I will hide if you promise that you'll seek,
But you must remember that this is no game
and so that promise you will keep
And in dreams oh I'll run to you in a field of flowers
for only just a second, but it's long enough it feels like hours
Because with you I will freeze the ticking of a clock,
I'll drag this moment far across the sky
till it's out of mind and out of sight
Oh, you look so beautiful this evening,
the sun is setting by your side and a picture of your silhouette is home
How she begs for sleep is
just one of many things she'll do to set this heart ablaze
I'm burning out and you can see it on my face,
When the night is young my chest is like a fire place,
the embers glow the flames they roar
but it all turns to ashes when she wakes
Oh no, she wakes so slow,
and I'm dreaming out a dream
for both our silly souls to go to sleep.

Wide Awake

Is there anything that I can say or anything that I can do,
for you to look at me the way I look at you?
Is there some advise that I can take,
a lesson now on love and hate?
for me to get a grip on you.
And lately, I’ve been falling,
I’ve been waiting on something to break it and now say
Maybe, oh just maybe,
there’s a way around this twisted and beaten down fate.
Is there any change that I can make,
give me a list of my mistakes,
I’ll spend my days making it right,
Is there anyone out there who can tell me
when and where I went wrong,
cus I can’t put my finger on
Lately, I’ve been dozing, I’ve been dreaming about it,
been dreaming so good and now,
Maybe, oh just maybe,
I’m falling too short, cus you don’t feel like you should.

Bring Back the Sound

All that I want is to fly to the moon
and write on her surface the thing about you that are
perfect and now, if you find
that I take all your time, well I promise you can take all of mine,
and I don’t really care about falling behind,
as long as the silence between you and I,
is broken away by the words that we have to say,
and their relevance is irrelevant,
as long as the sound is taking away from the empty
the grey are well on their way out of here.
And I don’t hear, the sound anymore
all that’s left is an echo that’s fading away
I don’t know, you any more
than you think you know me, bring back the sound
The silence is louder than words can describe,
stop or I will go
Anywhere the wind will blow, I will go.
Anywhere the wind will blow I will go.

Such a great record from start to finish. The lyrics hit hard. Glad to hear such a fresh sound come out of the bombay music scene.
