Getting Away
03:46

Radio Edit
Lately I’ve seen a change in you and a little change in me
We’re habitually entwined in day to day activity
& I passed you in the hallway, once again on the stairs
& I was taken aback when you didn’t even notice I was there
Lately we’ve been running round life’s most demanding ways
& If we had the time to speak, don’t think we’d know what to say
so wrapped up in the trivial things we didn't read the signs
and though the cracks where there for all to see we pretended we were fine
Chorus
So, I’m getting away, from all this
Getting away, it’ll be bliss
I know a place where no-one will find me
Just a little way from here
I’m gonna make a little home from home
And simply disappear
You’ll wake up late one morning with a space there in the bed
& you’ll think my shoes & coat must be laying in another place instead
& you’ll call me from the kitchen, search from room to room
but all to soon you'll realise there's nothing more that you can do
Chorus
When things have finally settled down & we’ve both pondered for a while
I’ll turn up on your doorstep with a big happy smile
& our love will be much stronger and those other little things
Won’t matter anymore cause we’re together once again
Chorus
And we're getting away, from all this
Getting away, it'll be bliss
cause I know a place were no one will find us
Just a little way from here
We're gonna make a little home from home & simply disappear

The Path He Chose
03:30
|

She takes down a photograph
and she holds it to her breast
just as she'd done the child it shows
she remembers his hair and how it felt
and she curses the path he chose
with a boyish smile and happiness
he picked the shilling and the gun
and she looks back with fear and dread
when he told her what he'd done
Chorus
like his father before him and his grandfather to
he'll march to war to save me and you
and have we learned nothing, nothing at all
when will we stop sending young men to war
yet she smiled and she waved him goodbye
as only a mother can
and if god was good if god was great
she'd see him return home again
but fickle fate it knows no god
makes judgments where it will
and IEDs don't discriminate
'bout who they maim or kill
Chorus
young sons often come home its true,
fulfilling their mothers fears
not with a boyish smile or happiness
but draped in flags and a mothers tear
Chorus, repeat 1st verse

I hear what your saying all your thinking out loud
you gotta problem baby I can help you out
yeah I can roll my belly say what you wanna hear
and you can do your thing baby
but lets get somethin’ clear
This big legged woman ain’t nobodies fool
its just the woman in me brings out the devil in you
and if your playin games with me baby
I ain’t gonna be your toy
cause this big legged woman
needs a man not a boy
I got you wrapped round my finger
got you towing the line
you think I’m yours honey but I know your mine
show me what your made of show me you’re a man
and I’ll show you heaven baby cause you know I can
Chorus
Well I told you once and I told you twice
you get it right baby I can be so nice
wrap me round your finger get me towing the line
well I know I’m yours honey but do you know your mine

Cry
02:37
|
|||
Don't let the words fall from my lips,
don't let the tears fall from my eyes,
don't give me a reason to see through your disguise,
don't let me have to cry, no no no…
don't let me have to cry
I can't share with you what I know inside
that would make me feel insecure
you want me to say I love you
but that would only push me away
can't you see that would only push me away
You ask for commitment from me
but what does that really mean
you ask too much of me
give me room to breathe oh yeah
give me room to breathe
Don't let this chance slip through your hands
don't let this love slip from my heart
hold on to this feeling, let it grow with mine
don't let me have to cry, no no no...
don't let me have to cry
I don't wanna, I don't wanna cry

Breathe
03:33
|

It’s been a long long time
since I really opened up my eyes
There’s so much that I really don’t want to know
If I have lost my way, lost my hope, myself, my faith
Would it be you that showed me the way
Chorus
Cause I’m wishing for a world that doesn’t make me feel
That it’s all just a matter of time
There’s this voice within as I breathe it out, breathe it in
That time slips through my hands
Like something I’m not meant to have.
Could you find it in yourself to put my life in your hands
Or would you let me fall like a leaf to the ground
well I could hide away for a year and a day
maybe then this won’t be happening
Chorus
And I’m wishing for a world that doesn’t make me feel
That it’s all just a matter of time
There’s this voice within as I breathe it out, breathe it in
That time slips through my hands
Like something I’m not meant to have
Instrumental
Cause there’s this voice within as I breathe it out, breathe it in
That time slips through my hands
Like something I’m not meant to have
hmmm not meant to have
ooh, ooh not meant to have
