You coming around
It was another Monday
Same familiar sound
We were stuck in an old sway
Arms tangled in mine
Only holding for display
No good alone
I was thrown into disarray
Time ticking along
Maybe we could have turned away
I was ill with you
And you held me the way I wanted to be held
Any longer
We would have fallen deeper
Any stronger
We would have knocked each other out
Any wrong dear
Was not for us to know
Any Longer
Maybe we would not have let it go
Oh I didn’t want you to go
You came back
Somehow I know
It’s better now

Moab

Morning arrived before sun did shine
Donkey, Balaam the princes of Moab
Off on the track to meet Balak
Step by step and hoove by hoove
Round the bends in beat of
The breathing, breathing
Donkey saw up ahead
Angel of the Lord with sword in hand
Scared confused what could she do?
But dart to the field where her wide eyes teared
Balaam beat, beat her
Wrong way to treat her
Up she got and on they went
Round the bends in beat of the panting
Donkey saw up ahead again
Angel of the Lord with sword in hand
Startled frightened twice the pain
Too narrow to hide or to run away
Balaam beat beat her
Wrong way to treat her
Why’d he do that?
The Angel let donkeys voice ring out
Balaam can’t you see what
Open your eyes
Open your eyes and see right today

In the night I saw you running
Chase the wind and strive for your money
There’s gotta be more
There’s gotta be more
In the night I saw you running
Chasing the wind
Round and around the globe you go
Never finding, never finding a finish line
No finish line
You’re in denial
There’s no finish line
You’re like a stream flowing,
Down to the sea not knowing
Where you’ll be ending up is where you’ve come from
You think you’ve seen it all
Think you’ve heard it all breathed it all
But you’ve only just begun
Could you leave it all?
Could you leave it all?
What are you dreaming for?
Under the sun
Under the sun

Home with you
We are dancing through a stormy afternoon
Us two
With our carts of treasures buried in our room
Knowing soon
When the sirens call at night
You’ll sleep right through
I’m alone,
I am running with a blanket through the blue
Give me a place to dream
Where the alarms don’t ring
You’ll find me there
You’ll find me
Give me a place to dream
Away from the place I’ve been
You’ll find me there
You’ll find me
Home on my own
I’m alone here on a rainy afternoon
Without you
Dancers shoes are dust filled in my room
Rainy Afternoon
I will find a way to be there through and through
Come June
I will find a way to fly my love to you
