In between the lighthouse and the ship that’s lost its way The horizon and the shoreline, therein lies the grey In between the darkness and the first of the sun’s rays The shadows and the silence, therein lies the grey Therein lies the grey Therein lies the grey In between the moments of sleeping and awake The conscious and the daydreams, therein lies the grey In between the right choice and living for today The karma and the regret, therein lies the grey Therein lies the grey Therein lies the grey In between this friendship and things I want to say

West Wind 03:33
Remember when we knew the words of the woods Slept under open skies and life was good The falling rain washes away the pain And lets us start again We’ll stoke the fires of our youth beneath the setting sun Leave the worries of the world behind And let our hearts be young The hard days and their nights are gone The west wind at our back We’re moving on Remember when we knew the sounds of the seas Dove in their depths and drank from their streams The falling stars will mend our hearts And let us start again We’ll stoke the fires of our youth beneath the setting sun Leave the worries of the world behind And let our hearts be young The hard days and their nights are gone The west wind at our back We’re moving on We’re moving on The west wind at our back We’re moving on We’ll stoke the fires of our youth beneath the setting sun Leave the worries of the world behind And let our hearts be young The hard days and their nights are gone The west wind at our back We’re moving on

No Game 03:40
My subtlety sabotages me So please read between the lines If you are brave enough to lay down your arms I think you will like what you find What you find There’s no escape from the power of The freedom in your eyes I’m just another girl to fall victim to Your brand of magic, and I don’t mind No I don’t mind Oh my pride won’t let me hunt you down And I won’t be seen as prey So we’ll have to meet Somewhere in between In a land that has no game We’re all searching for a moment That reminds us we’re alive I will let you cut my heart open wide If you can handle what’s inside What’s inside Oh my pride won’t let me hunt you down And I won’t be seen as prey So we’ll have to meet Somewhere in between In a land that has no game I know I should know better but I feel no fear You know that I know better but I’m still right here My subtlety sabotages me So please read between the lines Oh my pride won’t let me hunt you down And I won’t be seen as prey So we’ll have to meet Somewhere in between In a land that has no game

Some Birds 04:04
Some birds leave, and some return Some birds stick around through it all Some hide away, wait for the sun to light the day Some fear the dark Some words are kind, and some plant seeds into the mind To grow ideas that never were Some bonds break, while some grow strong Some test the branches before stepping out And some hearts can’t stand the cold Some hearts don’t know how to weather a storm, no And some hearts can’t stand the cold Some hearts don’t know how to weather a storm And some tough it out Some winters last, frozen down to the core Until the spring unfolds And some ice melts, to reveal the damage done But some things are never quite the same And some hearts can’t stand the cold Some hearts don’t know how to weather a storm, no And some hearts can’t stand the cold Some hearts don’t know how to weather a storm And some tough it out Some birds leave, and some return Some birds stick around through it all

My happiness lives in the hands of ghosts And whisps of my imagination They keep me company, they keep me amused They keep my mind from the life that it lives in Play along and you’ll be set free Don’t stop to question, just let it be Oh there’s ghosts that haunt the halls in my mind And the deeper I search, the harder it is to find light again So I close my eyes and say you’re not real But my doubts creep in and it’s impossible to feel fine again My heart lives in a dream of words That may or may not have been spoken I can’t bring myself to tell it the truth Cause it’ll crash hard when it’s woken Who’d of thought it would be so hard To live a life without a fear of the dark Oh there’s ghosts that haunt the halls in my mind And the deeper I search, the harder it is to find light again So I close my eyes and say you’re not real But my doubts creep in and it’s impossible to feel fine again My dreams hang on a very thin thread It’s all that keeps me together Each night I pray that it will hold strong And give me some hope for the future Play along and you’ll be set free Don’t stop to question, just let it be Oh there’s ghosts that haunt the halls in my mind And the deeper I search, the harder it is to find light again So I close my eyes and say you’re not real But my doubts creep in and it’s impossible to feel fine again

Lived my life a dreamer In scenes that fade by dawn The flickers of hope that linger Start to sting as the day rolls on Lived my life a thinker Knowing right from wrong I sacrificed desire And missed out on playing along Oh please my heart don’t turn to stone Love is the only way I’ve known And no one wants to be alone Please my heart don’t let him make you cold We’ll find our strength, or so I’ve been told Lived my life afraid And uncertain in my shoes Worrying through the choices Until there is nothing to choose Oh please my heart don’t turn to stone Love is the only way I’ve known And no one wants to be alone Please my heart don’t let him make you cold We’ll find our strength, or so I’ve been told So I drift And I float And I search For reasons to hope
