Tiny, little, bells of gold
Fall to the ground
Tell me, the days, days grow old
Fall without a sound
Memories fall behind
I'll take yours, you take mine
Marama, shining, round and bold
Lights up your face
In, our, hearts we mould
Our sacred place
She draws to her, the sea
Just like you do, to me
Memories fall behind
I'll take yours babe, you take mine
She draws to her, the sea
Just like you do, to me
Memories fall behind
I'll take yours babe, you take mine
You take mine

Fishing for Love

Rum, cola, and cigarettes
The girls outside the others don't see
Laugh, like teenagers
When the lights come on
Two words, fishing for love
Paint the night ahead
Young woman, in bright red lips
How's this? she says
How's this? she says
Boyhood mates, all lean in leather
Faces shine, shine in the weather
Riding, across Upolu
Chasing spirits, across the sky
How's this? she says
The little one cries
As she waves from the car
Steering into the night
How's this? she says
How's this? she says
How's this?
How's this?
How's this? she says

Marigold on the water
Flung out, call the dead
You come to me
Across four winds
Armour, feathers
Bone and light
Soar over mountains
Climb the day
Core spilling seeds
Across four winds
Flung out on the water
Hold the shore, hold the shore, hold the shore
Flung out on the water
Hold the shore, hold the shore, hold the shore
Child, lost at sea
Anchored on your mother's lips
Young girl broken
Into woman
Flung out on the water
Hold the shore, hold the shore, hold the shore
Flung out on the water
Hold the shore, hold the shore, hold the shore
Flung out on the water
Call the dead, call the dead, call the dead
Flung out on the water
Call the dead, call the dead, call the dead

So long did I wait for you
So long and yet we met too soon
Won't you come in from the cold
Too frail for my arms to hold
When the winter comes
When the winter comes
The sun's gone, the day is all too brief
Maybe I needed you more than you did me, ooo
When the winter's gone
When the winter's gone
When the winter's gone,
Then, I'll be home
I'll be home
When the winter's gone
When the winter's gone
When the winter's gone,
Then, I'll be home
I'll be home

Phoenix
03:45
|

|
In the middle of the evening
In the middle of my breath
You gave me the strangest feeling
And the world slipped away from beneath
In the space in which I drifted
From the ashes I was lifted
Like the phoenix of love
I looked down below from up above
Watched the world slip away
Oooo
Woah
Oooo
In another world behind us
Did you know that we are timeless?
I'm still here, but you are gone
Where will I find the strength to carry on?
While the world slips away
Oooo
Woah
Woah

Wait to Come Home
07:41

Darkness falls around us
Don't know which way to go
Stumble through in blindness
With nothing to show
Hold to your position
Show me the way
Take me 'cross the river
But don't get swept away
The candle burns 'till its gone
Darkness takes its turn
Ashes float on the wind
We wait to come home
To come home
Hold to your position
Don't leave me standing here
Lean on me my brother
No matter what you fear
The candle burns for so long
Darkness takes its turn
Ashes float on the wind
We wait to come home
To come home
Home
To come home
