Cracks
Verse 1
Black and white
What is right?
What is right?
Which way to go
I don’t know
But life keeps rolling on
Sat on the shelf
Love yourself
Love yourself
Let it all out
Scream and shout
Chorus
And you’ll be fine
Take your time
Take your time
Breathe in again
It’ll end
It’ll end
Ohhhhhhh
Verse 2
Cracks in the wall
Running down
Through the floor
Cracks, canyon gaps
You can’t fix
Anymore

Instrumental

Hallelujah
Verse 1
Oh remember life
When you were old
And I was five
A child beside an oak
On carpet swirls
With a skipping rope
Bridge
And I have your face
And something of your eyes
Verse 2
Sitting on your chair
In our front room
I see you there
Oh how we would sing
A childish prayer
A simple hymn
Chorus
And Hallelujah
And you were gone
Hallelujah
And life went on
And I did not cry that day
Verse 3
A ring inside a box
Beside your pearls
And broken Watch
And I have your face
And something of your smile
Chorus

Old Friends
Verse 1
In the house where you lived
Where the wall in the Garden’s fallen down
Well something had to give
Mmmm
Verse 2
Yellow flowers in a frame
Tell the tale
We don’t like to think about
Not even your name
Bridge
And all this rain
Verse 3
And left on that chair
There’s a memory I can’t think about
Your silence lives there
Bridge
And all this rain
This rain
Chorus
Sometimes I can remember
That we smiled
Laughing through photographs
Two souls
I’ll be with you ‘til the end
Quietly watching the years roll by
Old friends
Verse 5
In the life that you left
There’s a tear that we’ve patched up perfectly
Keep catching this thread
Bridge
And of my faith, you test
My faith, it’s in shreds
Chorus
But life spilled
Over the city that we built
Bridges and castles, cathedrals
History we knew so well
But here’s to the tale of the old friends
And a city that crumbled and fell

All Things Change
V1
Clouds are gathering in the sky
A breeze is blowing but it’s warm and light
And I can almost sense
A little confidence
V2
And I’ve been sitting here too long
Going over all the things I’ve done
But I can feel the time
Doesn’t feel like mine
Chorus
But I’m here, this is where I am
Wide open to a different plan
Strange
But all things change
V3
And I’ve been holding on too tight
I’ve been clinging on for my dear life
But it don’t work that way
So you can bring on the rain
Chorus
Oh this is where I am
Wide open to a different plan
‘Cause nothing stays the same
Strange, but all things change
Instrumental

Compass
Verse 1
Take me away
To that house you call home
Where nothing belongs to me
But my soul
I want to find out who I am on my own
With you
So we play piano
Sipping the wine
Talk to each other as you build a fire
And so here we go
Watching us slowly unravelling
Chorus
And I won’t ask you to stay
And I won’t ask us to name
This place we’re in
Verse 2
And I love how I feel with you
Magical wise
Quietly tingling
Caught in surprise
You look at me and you smoulder and sigh
Oh my
Dancing with you across your kitchen floor
In pj’s and cardigans
And oh I need more of this
And oh your kiss
Chorus
And I will try, try not to
Want too much
And I will try not to feel every touch
And I won’t even ask where we are going
But I know inside I’m hiding
Every thought that I just may be falling
Anyway…
I’ll be ok
Verse 3
You’re asleep by the fire now,
Where we made a bed
And I’m lying awake
With the things I’ve not said
And I realise I’ve been gathering signs
Your heart’s not here.
So where does it live?
Is it out in the rain?
In that wild little garden
You can’t seem to tame?
In the words of the newspapers
Piled up in vain,
Waiting?
Chorus
But love was here
Here with you anyway
‘Cause oh my dear,
I couldn’t be any other way
I’ll leave you here,
‘Cause you don’t belong to me
But to learn to love and let them go
Is something, I didn’t know I could do
…A gift from you
You were a place,
I couldn’t stay long
Gave me a compass
I give you a song

Home
Verse 1
Seeing you sitting beside me
Quietly taking it in
And finally we speak
And the circles complete
A beginning that starts at the end
So we talk about things we are learning
And we smile at the things that we know
But for all that we’ve learned
And we’ve lost, and we’ve earned
It seems there’s a long way to go?
Chorus
But we all need to laugh in the sun
To believe that there’s something
Just willing us on
But I just need to stand on my own
And I’m hoping I’ll find
How to get home
Verse 2
And I’m tired of being an Island
That nobody ever gets near
And oh the mirror will shine
Time after time
But lately I’m not really here
And I think I came searching for answers
To these streets and these bars and café’s
Scribbling these words
Trying to return
To someone that used to have faith
Chorus
But we’d all like to laugh in the sun
To believe that there’s something
Just willing us on
Well I just need to stand on my own
And I’m hoping I’ll find
Yeah, I’m hoping I’ll find..
I’m just trying to find my way home
And I’m not really sure I can do this alone
But whatever I’ve got to go through
When I get to myself I hope I find you

Jane Taylor
Verse 1
It was a feeling that just kicked in
A quiet moment in a pulsating din
It doesn’t matter, the truths the same
Playing the game, wondering how you win
The lockers empty, his eyes are dry
She’s looking awful but she can’t stop asking why
Another second It all will fall
Losing it all, It’s all in the waste of time
Chorus
And as I run and as I crawl
I should be climbing up the walls
But I’m here looking back at it all
Another smile, another blink
And now I’m standing at the sink
In a daze, ‘cause I’m not really here
Is anybody getting this part?
I’m fine…So fine
Verse 2
Stop your worrying and get some sleep
Writing pages, and thinking way too deep
Words are never gonna change this scene
Get out of the dream
You’re sliding on frozen ice
Down, off of the edge
Well you could fly or find a different ledge
So take a deep breath, and let it flow
God knows where I’m going
But baby I’m here for the show

Lay Your Sword on The Ground
Verse 1
Lay your sword on the ground
The brave and the bold
Well they’ve all fallen down
And I think that this cause
We’ve been holding out for
Well it died
Verse 2
And here are the things that were left
Shirts that you wore, letters I’ve read
But oh what becomes of the things that belonged
Just to us?
Bridge
You still have that locket
You promised to fill
And I think I know now,
You never will
Chorus
And so now go…
Back into your life
I’ll fall down into mine
Get used to the silence
Tell myself that I’m fine
When were you ever so tired?
Screaming your words at the wall
Who were you trying to reach girl
Who were you doing it for?
Who were you doing it for?
Verse 3
And thy will be done
But it’s still a constant surprise
And something was broken
And something was healed
But there were no heroes
Left on this field
Chorus

Where Is Your Grace

Where Is Your Grace
Where is your grace?
Oh, where is your grace?
Lost in a place you forgot
And what have I done
To be so very wrong
That I’m all of the things I am not?
Where is your voice?
Oh, where is your voice?
Silently building your walls
You carry that name
‘Cause we’re one and the same
And all that they’ve done
Becomes yours
Chorus
And you sit there
With your eyes on the ground
And I’m staring at the sky
Wonder why
That everything’s turning
And everyone’s yearning
For something else
Where are you going?
Oh, where are you going?
And how do we ever get there?
Is anyone catching?
‘Cause everyone’s throwing
Their words and their hopes
In the air
(Chorus)
So go, stop, loosen up
Take your time
Wont you hurry up
Hold tight and get it right
And let it all go
And you can win, but you’ll only lose
All mapped out, but you can choose
Hate, love, I’ve had enough
Prove, fools always fall down
Round, I’m spinning plates
Where is God and where’s my faith?
Dishing out a little grace?
Give me some here
And everything’s turning
And everyone’s yearning
For something else.

I Will Get There
Verse1
Travelling this lonely road
Just feeling my way
Watching myself unfold
Day after day
But lately I’ve realised
That I misunderstood
I’ve been reaching out for some things
That do me no good
Bridge
But anyway I
Don’t need you to rescue me
I’m not trying to be saved
I’m not looking for sympathy
I’ve got to find my own way
Chorus
There’s something inside
That’s guiding me
To somewhere, I’ve got to be
There’s something inside
I need to trust, to open up
And, with a little hope
And a lot of faith
A little love and time
And I will get there….
Verse 2
And tell me how do you concede
When you’re faced with a choice?
Do you listen to what you need?
Or do you fall on your sword?
Chorus
Outro
A little time
A little love on my side
A little steal, a little faith
And I will get to that place
And I will lose and I will fall
But I will love through it all
A little grace, a little fight
And I will be alright
And I will hope a little time
A little love on my side
A little steal, lot of faith
And I will get to that place
A little love, until I find a way
And I will lose and I will fall
But I will love through it all
And I will look and I will breathe
Until I know how to be
A little grace, a little fight
And I will be alright
A little hope a little time
A little love on my side
A little steal a little faith
And I will get to that place
A little love
And I will get to love
I will get to love
