I sat outside today
Catching my face in sun
Watching my breath escape
Thinking of somewhere warm
I saw you yesterday
Now you are somewhere warm
You thought these distances
Were just a game to me
See you in 19 days
I heard you saying so
But all these short goodbyes
Aren't making sense themselves
I'm going to set things out
There's a sea change for me
I've known for 19 days
How things are going to be
So I have one request
Think of it as a game
The space from you to me
Now since I've thought it through
I've finally figured out
Where I would like to be
Where you will find me now
By the time you hear these notes
I will have packed and gone
I'm trailing river banks
And climbing mountain tops
And scraping desert sands
And sailing clear blue seas
No this is not goodbye
I'll see you soon sometime

That One Pipe Dream
01:34
|

Though I don't see you as much as I'd like
I'm glad I've got what it takes
To keep you in my sights
As I think of older times with you
And it won't always be
Yes I will find my way
To your house on the hill
And you'll be saying how you miss me in your life
And we'll talk of older times
And you'll be talking to me
And I'll be saying the things that I've wanted to say
And it will always be
Yeah I will find my way
And you'll be waiting for me
Or is that another pipe dream?

You Can't Lie To Me
02:43
|

You can't lie to me
I saw you laughing there
By my hands
I did
Last night I saw you walk
Through the street
Down the stair
This morning
I saw you at the kitchen table
With a ribbon round your neck
Next time you see me
Say hello to me

London Fields
05:09
|

And you told me it would be fun
I remembered it had been fun
So on Sunday we took a map
I didn't know where to go
But you said
Past the castle and through the park
I know you feel slow
But I hope you sleep to dream tonight
As we passed through London Fields
On our way to somewhere
You said This isn't right
It's not the same
Is it though?
Is it though
But you'd been happy here before
And we saw boys hitting out
With the sticks they found
When we left you whispered low
This isn't fun
You said This isn't fun
Do you still think it wasn't fun?
Well, I had fun

You & Your Strange Ways
04:43
|

I've got a question
When you say you're living on roads
How do you sleep at night?
Which stars do you see?
Climbing up hillsides
To get your perfect picture right
Makes me happy to know you and your strange ways

Sing my love
Let me take you in my arms
Take me sometime

Farthest From The Sea

Warm my hand take it in yours
And we'll wander at night through the streets
Warm night time is a nice time
To be walking farthest from the sea
Think of times when you walked these roads
By the Rec, the lock and the stream
Show me some of your thoughts on what you have seen
Take this letter I wrote you
It's a promise to get you to smile
About the times when we lived here
And I know you'll talk about it for a while
Here's a scene where you walked these roads
By the Rec, the lock and the stream
You gave me it as a gift but I forgot what it means
Warm night time is a nice time
To be walking farthest from the sea
Though you're no longer here
I hope you'll always come here back to me

Next Time
01:40
|

And disaster strikes
As we fail to talk about the subject
And I've made a mess of it again
I hope you want to sit down and talk it over
But before you go, let me tell you about the situation
Firstly, I've seen this before
You're prone to come and go
Over summer months I hope you
Find a place to call home
Next time there's a home
You won't have to go
And I'll see you throw back your head
And laugh as before

A Surprise
03:36
|

I see a night
And it starts in my eyes
Blankets my sight
Take it from me
I've watched you there
Catching songs from the skies
So if you see me look down
Shake it from me
And those words that you've spoken
Have never been broken
And I keep those words here with me now
And I listen to them once in a while
They keep me satisfied
That you're out there doing well
And I know I'll see you soon
So I'll wait
I've seen a light
And it starts in your eyes
Here's my surprise
Take it from me

Forget today, filled with rain
Tomorrow's going to be a funny day
I've thought now you're grown and you're gone
Lost in your mind
Do you ever really think of home?
Forget today, filled with rain
Tomorrow's going to be a funny day
When you've got some time alone
Remember I've got a line for you
Yeah, love is not simply what you say or do
It isn't simply what you say or do
Yeah, love has a funny way of showing it
You've got a funny way of showing it
