All through the land
I see ghosts of you
In my empty hand too
Where we used to gather
Under the plane tree
It’s all coming back to me
Then the wren calls
And the shadows fall
Will you come back from the war?
Will you come back?
Will you come back?
Will you come back from the war?
In the gunpowder
In the fallen bricks
Where the foul weather hit
You feel free, I understand
You feel stuck, I understand
You want change, I understand
You’re just tired, I understand
Speak to your mother
Listen to your son
Spend a day with someone
Then the wren calls
And the shadows fall
Will you come back from the war?
Will you come back?
Will you come back?
Will you come back from the war?
No idea when, no idea how
The story ends
Or what happens now

Hold On To The Light

No matter how dark it gets,
No matter how dark it gets,
Hold on to the light
Hold on to the light
Strange times, are you keeping well?
Yeah, surviving, but who can tell?
The day is burning into night
All the birds are taking flight
Hold on to the light
Hold on to the light
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Well I’m thinking of you with a needle and thread
And all the words that go unsaid
I know the rules but I don’t like the game
I watch the sky and wait for rain
Wait for a good rain
Wait for a good rain
No matter how dark it gets,
Those are the words on the sea defence
I know you worry, what’s coming next
But no matter how dark it gets
Hold on to the light
Hold on to the light
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Best We Could

You took me to the river, fighting
You couldn’t let me on my way
But you came from the hills crying
I guess you never had your say
You took me to the shallow water
You said this is where we can play
But you went into the woods calling
And I was all covered in clay
I guess it was the best, the best we could do
I guess it was the best, the best we could do
I know we made a mess, a mess of things too
I guess it was the best we could do

working out on the boat now working out at sea
I don’t know how I found you
I don’t know how you found me I don’t know how I found you
I don’t know how you found me working out on the boat at sea
standing out in the night
in the light of the dead stars
I can feel you so near now
I can feel you so far
I can feel you so near now
I can feel you so far
standing out in the light of the dead stars
out in the light of the dead stars
out in the night wherever you are l
ead me home safe from harm
by the light of the dead stars
I’m trying to play my hand right
I’m trying to get ahead of the game
but I don’t know what is fear sometimes I don’t know what is faith
I don’t know what is fear sometimes I don’t know what is faith
I’m trying to play my hand right
I’m trying to get ahead of the game
soon I will be moving
to another part of town
for some reason I’m tearing up
for some reason I’m breaking down
I can feel you so near now
I can feel you so far
standing out in the light of the dead stars
out in the light of the dead stars
out in the night wherever you are
lead me home safe from harm
by the light of the dead stars
out in the light of the dead stars
out in the night wherever you are
lead me home safe from harm
by the light of the dead stars
by the light of the dead stars
by the light of the dead stars
