Savage

this savage eats with a knife and fork
nuzzle, nuzzle me
dust and dirt in a clean white shirt
nuzzle, nuzzle me
this savage sleeps on comfortable sheets
nuzzle, nuzzle me
he sweats to the bone in a sweet cologne
nuzzle, nuzzle me and you
hold me, hold me in your thoughts
hold me, and I’ll hold you too
hold me, hold me in your thoughts
hold me
this savage sings in a barbershop choir
muzzle, muzzle me
guts and grit in his grandma’s knit
snuggle, snuggle me
this savage drinks fresh peppermint tea
cuddle, cuddle me
he bites his nails when everything fails
guzzle, guzzle me and you
hold me, hold me in your thoughts
hold me, and I’ll hold you too
hold me, hold me in your thoughts
hold me
this savage eats with a knife and fork
nuzzle, nuzzle me
dust and dirt in a clean white shirt
nuzzle, nuzzle me
this savage sleeps on comfortable sheets
nuzzle, nuzzle me
he sweats to the bone in a sweet cologne
nuzzle, nuzzle me and you
me and you
nuzzle, nuzzle me and you
me and you
cuddle, cuddle me and you
me and you
nuzzle, nuzzle me and you
me and you
cuddle, cuddle me

Gentle Morning
02:06
|
|||
In the middle of a gentle morning
I’ll quietly sit while the clouds are warming
And wait for silence to grow from within
While in the middle of this gentle morning
A line of light moves across the cold floor
A warming touch that will leave me restored
I ask the sun tell me where have you been?
We need your light for this opening scene
In the middle of a gentle morning
I’ll quietly sit while the clouds are warming
And wait for stillness to grow from within
While in the middle of this gentle morning

Scabs
03:49
|
|||
I grazed my knee
Climbing trees
Reaching for the highest branch
I ripped my shirt
While I was digging in dirt
But there was treasure and gold
To be found
I made a sword
From the sticks I stored
And I raised it up to the dragon’s fire
I took a fall
From the neighbour’s wall
And made it back
From the enemy’s side
And these are the marks
of time well spent
And I’ve got the badge to prove it
And these are the marks
of time well spent
I’m obsessed with my cuts and bruises
I like to pick scabs
I like to pick my scabs
I like to the pick the edges
And work my way in
Revealing all the soft and fresh new skin
Take me back to that feeling
of being a boy
I really, really like to pick scabs
We’re spitfire planes
Swerving hurricanes
But we’re low on fuel
And its time to land
Waging war
With the kids from next door
And we need to defend our patch
We’re fighting crime
Before dinner time
If we catch him now we can save the day
Hide and seek
Through the flowers we sneak
Sorry for the mess we’ve made
So take me back to those feelings
I know so well
I really like to pick my scabs
Take me back to those feelings
I know so well
I really, really like to pick scabs

Crow
03:22
|
|||
There’s a crow on the bedpost
It keeps me awake
It pokes and it shocks me
It exists just to mock me
The shadow I can’t shake
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll come again to taunt
He’ll follow me and haunt
Crow comes and goes
When I find the courage, my feelings to show
The break in the clouds is covered by the wings of a crow
We’ve buried the bruises within
Ripples beneath our skin
That crow on my bed post
Still keeps me awake
It lurks behind my shoulder
Makes day and night feel colder
The shadow I can’t shake

Through The Years
04:12
|
|||
If men would love each other
United heart and hand
And each would prove a brother
For this our creed we stand
What cruelties would falter?
What wrongs remove away?
What woes would follow after
And blessings come to stay?
If men would love each other
And wear their love with pride
A common heart would gather
And reach the other side.
Do we open up and listen,
Not hide from all our fears?
Will we learn to love each other
Grow our friendship through the years?
A common heart beats through the years

Leaf
03:45
|
|||
To the leaf that falls before my feet
And slows my thoughtless steps
Golden treasure from the trees above
Take me away
I lay my hand across my chest
Close my eyes, and take a breath
Take your flight
And lead me to my stillness
To the flower that grows between the bricks
A reminder of what could be
You’ve pushed through the concrete crack,
And into the silent smoke,
This city is an endless choke
Now you’ve brightened up my day
Weaving green against the grey
Take me away
I lay my hand across my chest
Close my eyes, and take a breath
Take your flight
And lead me to my stillness
To the seed that sows beneath my boots
A simple sign of what might come
Make your bed in the covered earth
Now find the light and grow
Rise up in the streetlamp’s glow
And you’ll brighten up my day
Weaving wild against the grey
Take me away
I lay my hand across my chest
Close my eyes, and take a breath
Take your flight
And lead me to my stillness

Dance With Your Shadow
01:50
|
|||
Dance with your shadow whenever you can
Dance with your shadow whenever you can
Dance with your shadow and step over the line
The devil is not, the devil is not on the dance floor
Dance with your shadow and step over the line
The devil is waiting, the devil waits for those who stand still
Dance with your shadow and step over the line

His head lies heavy
His choices staring back from the ceiling above
He lies with his mistakes
Cutting into his sleep and there when he wakes
This is the weight of the life he’s lived
Goodnight my love, good night
His head falls heavy
His doubts and his regrets turn him over again
He counts all his mistakes
Cutting into the dark while shadows take shape
These are the demons that keep him awake
Goodnight my love, good night
This is the moment to hold him tight
Goodnight my love, good night
