Mourning hearts, warm embers un-choked Swallowed words, still stuck in your throat, Raw thoughts untamed, in grief you would drown Like a fire left un-stoked your heart dies down Chorus - Slow Down Young Hearts, Youth leaves us soon out of reach But dont go to slow life's full of new things to seek Crazy Heart, your loss still saddens this town these three years, you've been taken away Faded away, only pictures remain Swallowed years you'll never regain A brave broad smile you would share, One look at those pictures and we'll soon be there Chorus Stay Slow, Slow Down Live Fast Young Hearts Throw to the wind all your cares but dont go too soon, your loss would be too much to bare Mourning Hearts take comfort and pride, in the albums of youth as Time passes by.

I have Dreams, that shatter when I cry, but my life seems, like a million mirrors falling from the sky we lay side by side, no words between us said but a thousand lies wont hide from you whats happening in my head Chorus - What's on my mind? What's on my mind? I've been crying for six days and I still cant find the words to say what's playing on my mind At night I go to sleep to wet pillows Im confined with a pain skin deep, for in sleep I leave my worried mind behind so take your chance right now kick me while I'm down because I'm coming back somehow and when I do I'll be reaching for your crown chorus They say bad things come in threes well I've had my taste of ten nine lives gone it must be time to live again so I take my chance and fly I'll open up my wings paint patterns in the sky, while I pay for all your sins Chorus And I promise you I'm feeling better, but it could be a change in weather and I promise you things will change, but I tried before and they stayed the same.. And I promise you I'm feeling better, but it could be a change in weather and I promise you things will change, but I tried before and they stayed the same.. ...because I might not find the words to say what's playing on my mind.

Born Wild 03:31
We move through the forest as the day fades to night the trees shed their seeds to dance in the light the darkness creeps in to magic we conceed its everything around us, its the air we breath Chorus Take one more step, in this light hold your sister's hand, hold it tight Take one more step, in this light hold your sister's hand, and it's gonna be alright Its a long way home through thick tunnels of gorse the canopy bent wild by nature's true force there's an essence in the air the scent of a tomb the cocunutty smell as the gorse-flower blooms Chorus we see eyes all around us, staring from the trees we get spooked by the movement of the leaves on the breeze we're paranoid, but wrapped up warm, nothing's gonna get us no, we are safe from harm We are almost home, shadows leave your mind, you slip my hand, your were born wild We are almost home, shadows leave your mind you slip my hand, you were born, you were born wild

White Rose 03:36
This is the village your grandad was raised these are the lanes, on which he did play these are the words, the words he would sing, lets sing them together so they don't die with him Chorus Hills valleys and moors, Yorkshire's in my heart and I hope I'm in yours Woods, wolds and wykes, at the centre of my heart grows a rose that is white. This is poem your great Grandad wrote, he couldn't spell, but he meant what was spoken of the Daffies that bloom at Easter each spring these are the words, lets sing them with him chorus This is the town your Granny was raised and this is the organ that her daddy played this is the field where your ancestors lay you bear their names, You bear their name Chorus well in one hundred years, they'll not sing of old tom Yorkshire's a place, the place he was from this is a song, a song he would sing lets sing it together so it wont die with him chorus.

Late nights and mornings we face the winds of change as these new days are dawning the headwinds entice us to stay Chorus And the sun shines down coating the last of the dusk in fine colours stretching tall shadows till they cover the ground and the twilight takes well I'll stay the night swim in great lakes of silver stay till the morning, swim in great lakes of gold Long days in duvets, with glasses of water Late nights wishing that we would not grow old as the sun comes through, gaps in the curtains we'll go out side, we must be bold the path winds on, and you must leave these far isles behind but you will keep going, for your hearts as strong as your mind And choirs of angels float down the river, Roman parades, they pass us by and all of the bright gold soaked in the rain fall queens and princes they wont change my mind Well maybe one day, we'll meet in Scarborough The sunrise on the north sea, calling you home the sunrise on the north sea calling you home

well its always a chore to wake in the morning and a labourers life normality is too cruel but its never a job to be the centre of attention and its never a job to play the fool Chorus Fool Comfort Me, when your lover's heart it is breaking, tell me, what have you done? Time passes by relentlessly chasing your path round the sun the mundanity of life, will be your undoing Time flies as fast you like you never keep count when you're like a kite and you play for your freinds and you dance through the night oh you never regret a thing chorus There at the party where the fun never stops you're mister charisma on top of the pops you'r out on the town and you're painting it red Fool comfort me.

The last few flowers of spring are wilting and the last few days of April are soon to come and go with the promise of the summer and the threat of further snow we'll head to the hills we'll pray for summer. (chorus) we'll dance through the night and we'll dance through the storms we'll dance through the night, 'til the very next morn we'll dance through the night and we'll dance through the storms we'll dance through the night, 'til the lily white dawn The heat from the hall brings a glow to our faces The band are ready and the dancers are quick up off the flaw through the rise and fall of dresses I see her in the corner of the hall Surrounded by the village boys, who try their chances one and all (chorus) When all the boys have given up their chances well I'll run to her and take her I will take her by the hand; although we're not the first to dance, we're sure to have the best romance, I see it in her eyes this evening Oh the beer and wine are overflowing the more we drink the more that we know, we ought to get going. With the promise of her hand, I won't let her down, except on the outside, where we will not be found, we'll not be found (chorus) The sunrise brings a glimpse of heaven and with its rays the chorus are soon to awaken with the calling of the black bird and the answer from the wren we all call out slowly for this summer not to end not to end (chorus)

The Moon 03:48
Its a calm night, a cool night all the birds they take flight, to the red sky they circle round in thermals they leave without a goodbye and we'll go to the cliff tops and we'll watch, we'll watch the sun drop and we'll pray til the next day til the moon comes out to play Chorus A neap tide with a new moon when the birds fly and they swoop down on sand dunes a spring tide in the winter when the waves crash high over you My New Moon! Full Moon! She rises like the Sun, fat and full never too bright or too dull she takes her place up high behind the herringbone sky and illuminates the clouds with her silver tie dye Chorus Well we're the silhouettes of natural minarets we stand five miles high are calls to prayer and answered, singing to the sky and we'll go to the cliff tops and we'll watch, we'll watch the sun drop and we'll pray til the next day til the moon comes out to play

Oh its been seven long years since you went away to fight your war and for the dying soldiers your coming home to fight no more The garden gate is open, but the path is overgrown and the only way of walking to your broken home, is over broken stones, and the house it needs re-mending, but there is never enough time, for these seven years of absence, left your mind behind, they left your mind behind. Chorus The flowers they are wilting but the brambles they grow fine, when Autumn comes along, you will pick the berries to make the wine, but the fruit it needs fermenting, there's never enough time for these seven years of absence left your mouth dry, they left your mouth dry Chorus The boxes in your front room, they wont unpack themselves, nor will all of memories, come back to you when you are good with health your family that's missing, they'll never come your way for these seven years of torture, they are yours to stay all the medals that you won, you know full well wont mean a thing x 2 Chorus

Lonely 02:24
There's a whole lot of people walking on my on my path and they are getting in my way with no need or purpose of being there to you they've nothing to say no you'll never feel lonely in the middle of a crowd, all strange faces no friends around there's a whole lot of walking, ain't doing so much talking, not to you anyhow There's a hustle, there's a bustle hear the rustle of newspapers in this crowd No you'll never feel lonely in the middle of a crowd, all strange faces no friends around The walls of society will not let you in, there's a big sign, you're not welcome no the landlady must not like your kin, or conversation you would be in There's a laughing and a clapping on the inside, but your view through the window is all you get, but then you realise that without you that they're the ones bereft No you'll never feel lonely in the middle of a crowd, all strange faces no friends around
