Brother

Roses & Ashes 03:33
lyrics
Steady and timeless, a harder wave to ride Seems crazy and reckless to see the other side Roses and ashes with roses still to spare How wrong to never question, To kneel too late, too bare Having seen that spark From within your heart I can only think how proud he'd be I pulled shut my car door Kept winter at bay You poured out your heart break The only real way What you gave was sewn In the earth we'd grown Where the new loves roam so free And tomorrow's pain, Changes paths again, needing all the love it finds

'Til The Luck Runs Dry 04:14
lyrics
Gonna find myself free of suspense Will my faults to fail Sprint by the reservoirs under the silver stairs Tailor my feelings to suit Shut my eyes and leap Promise ahead of me, Moving so steadily Right by my side as I go, Something so easy Sailing through tides we don't know But we're happy to try Until the luck runs dry Gonna run myself ragged you know Chasing dreams we share Move aside gentlemen, I will not lose her again Fake like I know how to act When the toll cuts thick Promises listening, agony wearing thin Coz right by my side as I go Something so easy Sailing through tides we don't know But we're happy to try Until the luck runs dry As long as our steps make our way Loose we dance so slow Way up ahead of the trials we treaded so long

Got My Share 04:00
lyrics
I'd stay the night but it's freezing And the cigarettes too few I can't sleep right now for dreaming I fear I might not make it through It gets me all worked up inside to see you trying I guess it's me who's got the issues after all And how I wished for something different Than something to repair Well now I got my share Baby I got my share I'd stamp your ticket but you're early And that would not be fair I always wondered where you'd run to But always knew I'd find you there It gets me all worked up inside to see you trying I guess it's me who's got the issues after all And how I wished for something different Than something to repair Well now I got my share Baby I got my share Led by the wind it changes and spins like the ghost you've become It's a dead cert you win, something of a sin, But a well deserved one I'm trying hard not to forget you But out of sight is out of mind But lucky me I've just lost patience So now there's room for us to find
4.
A Good Thing Fallen 04:07
lyrics
We'll figure out the days now With nothing to lose Tomorrow made an offer You couldn't refuse Call me when you get there I'll wait for your world I'm singing for the old days Until I have heard A new dawn is calling A good thing has fallen Fire me up a steam train And stoke until dawn I'm wishing I will find you These tracks, they're so worn A new dawn is calling A good thing has fallen

Cry On World 03:35
lyrics
I'm glad I got to know you Before you had to disappear I'm glad you wrote me in your stories I won't shed a tear I'm glad you had us all in pieces I'm glad you had it all your way I'm glad you drank the bar dry buddy Now I understand why So cry on world, cry on, cry on world I'm not losing any sleep Cry on, cry on world We'll be laughing while they weep So cry on, cry on world I guess we had it good Coz we did all that we could While we could I've got some things I'd like to show you Guess I'll save them for the long walk home It's not like you to leave before the last round Leave me drinking on my own Well they wouldn't have us back if we begged them all my love If we had to do it all again we'd probably fuck it up Well I think it's pretty clear to one another brother It was a time we had for us.

The April Spin 05:34
lyrics
I shut my eyes as tight as time And wished that you would be mine I counted slow and long and low For reasons soft and so fine As the April spin collided with the atmosphere And the sun became it's heavy, jaded self We escaped on air to grin and bare each sorrow We met along the way Unaware in the times that take us there So in we fell, the furthest kind At home with all, away in mind And sure as hell and as we fell Those precious days can be unkind As my foolishness took hold and let the reigns go I remember thinking how I'd let you down As July sank only breaths away from shore Then rose again once more Unaware in the times that take us there Never found myself a reason to get out of here Never freer than when we see eye to eye I'm home as far as home will let me be And know it's not just me Unaware in the times that take us there.
7.
No More Sins 02:59
lyrics
Well I stood and stared for hours, feet in the sand The hours turned to echoes as you vanished from my hand So no more keeping still while all's to see and all's to play And no more sins to wash away Well I figured you'd be waiting for my word But suddenly I'm on the canvas never to be heard So no more making judgements 'fore we all get down to pray And no more sins to wash away Well I put the fear of god into my bones The earth turned underneath my soul, a candle left alone So no more thinking love and loss won't be the land you lay And no more sins to wash away Well I looked right at the answer but the answer wasn't right I failed to see the beauty as I had no line of sight So no more holding curfew to my ever empty ways And no more sins to wash away Well my friend you were so close and yet so far You found your reasons early and you dived into my heart So no more will I turn my gaze when angels come my way And no more sins to wash away Yes no more will I turn my gaze when angels come my way And no more sins to wash away.
8.
Mad World Waiting 03:18
lyrics
Well my feet know they're walking But they don't know they're straying As I filter out the sun And my walk becomes a run And my legs ache from racing But that won't stop me chasing After every move you make And every step you take I remember why we ran But I don't remember how Out of the blocks the cradle rocks So we're used to it by now Oh-ee-oh we've a long old while to go With our boot-heels at the ready and our pockets filled with dreams Hey girl hey, tell me while we're on our way We don't wait to keep the mad world waiting When my eyes found you dancing In the crowd you saw me gazing I forgot about the song Sang the chorus deathly wrong And you asked me for my hand in this An after hours secret kiss And in we both shall fall, No allies left to call
9.
Anyway 03:54
lyrics
I hope you're seeing all you ever wished Missing what you never missed I hope the silence is the kind you want And the noise is just your heart in song I hope the worries that were raining down Are the reasons that you're climbing up I hope you're huddled in contented wake Just like you always dreamed Coz we all care about your soul We all care about your soul So remind me of every waking hour In whispers or in serenade Light the darkness of the way you left Every time we speak your name And the worries that were raining down Will be the reasons we're climbing up Hope you're smiling in the warm sun Like you knew you would Coz we all care about your soul We all care about your soul We all care about your soul Yes we all care about your soul anyway Well we love and we lose but we need and we choose anyway Yes we love and we lose but we need and we choose anyway

Brother 03:59
lyrics
Brother when you found me there Realised and rushed and wasteful I remember how you loved him so Memories can be so graceful There's no need for your tired eyes to feel so vacant Love will always get you somewhere if you're patient Still falling backwards now Trusting that the catch will be there Still finding reasons to Waver or direct them elsewhere But there's no need for your tired eyes to feel so vacant Love will always get you somewhere if you're patient So tell me why in weakness Does completeness Slip on every rung I'll keep you close and Promise we will find Some distance left to run
