Seven Mountains
02:39
|

The rain begins to fall
There's not much to do but watch all the ferries go
Drifting out of reach
It's icy cold
Save your energy
Sheltering from the sea until the night arrives
Maybe we could climb the seven mountains
If the dark clouds pass I'm sure that you will see
I've spent all these days just buried in this place and now
I'm wishing that the sun would start to break
Red and white and gold
The houses line along the water's edge
All covered now in snow
And there's underwater glass
To observe the creatures swimming down below
And wonder where they go
Maybe we could climb the seven mountains
If the dark clouds pass I'm sure that you will see
I've spent all these days just buried in this place and now
I'm wishing that the sun would start to break

Restless Heart
02:49
|

I miss the peace of you, the peace that lives in me
When it's dark and I can't sleep
I seem to think of you when the night hangs deep and still
And I guess I always will
It's a long way back to where I used to be
I'm a long way from the man I thought was me
You can tell me lies you know I won't believe
But that won't help my restless heart to sleep
I gave my heart to you, the sun shone in the sky
And the clouds all passed me by
But now I face myself and don't like what I see
And the clouds hang over me
It's a long way back to where I used to be
I'm a long way from the man I thought was me
You can tell me lies you know I won't believe
But that won't help my restless heart to sleep

Holborn Hill
03:03

What do you do when you can't find the words,
You're surrounded by voices that fight to be heard?
Will you meet me today?
We'll just figure it out in the rain
There were gardens here once all along Holborn Hill
There were passages then that were empty and still
But I'm stuck in this crowd and there's nowhere
Where we can escape
Run away, put someone in my place
Let's go away, and we'll see them someday
There will be nothing left in the end
Because they'll pull it all down once again
And none of our things will remain
No one looks up as they battle ahead
Lonely blank faces in puddles instead
Lined up by the wall, all the people who
Long for a change
Run away, put someone in my place
Let's go away, and we'll see them someday
There will be nothing left in the end
Because they'll pull it all down once again
And none of our things will remain
None of our things will remain

Nobody's Watching
03:36
|

Nobody's watching, nobody cares
When you go walking nobody stares
No one is hiding, nothing's concealed
No one is there when the truth is revealed
Everyone's looking away
When you pass by my door
Sometimes it's simple, sometimes it's not
Trying to cling to whatever you've got
Time may be passing, days may be long
No one is sure of what's right and what's wrong
No one will treat you unkind
If you come to my door
You can be sure that whatever's in store
For the both of us won't change a thing
The birds in the branches will sing
Remembering all that a summer can bring
Long before you and I found what was waiting within
Give me your word, I'll give you the same
We won't tell a soul of the day that you came
We'll keep it a secret that's ours to reveal
The verdict against overturned on appeal
No one will judge you again
If you come to my door

A Different Place
02:36
|
|||
Sunlight filters through the trees
In an autumn glow
You can't see the yellow leaves
If you keep your curtains closed
Maybe you still think of her
When you start your day
There are things you recognise
But nothing ever feels the same
There's nobody here today
But you're willing to find another way
In a different place
Just think of all the things you'd like to say
There's a thousand memories
Just in this small room
There's a peaceful solitude
Then there's nothing at all
Maybe you still think of them
At the end of the day
There are things you recognise
But nothing ever feels the same
There's nobody here today
But you're willing to find another way
In a different place
Just think of all the things you'd like to say

Darkest England
04:16
|
|||
In darkest England all that we could offer was our hands
And Mr Booth, he said to us we could find salvation on his land
The clay was heavy - turning it would break a giant's spine
But here at least the air was clear, the water running clean and crystalline
We worked till our bodies were aching, purging our souls
We worked to be worthy of Jesus saving us all
West there were skies growing darker as smoke filled the air
In Hadleigh we all wore the armour of labour and prayer
In darkest England as we left the city far behind
We dreamed of distant colonies and thought about the lives that we might find
The clay was heavy, and the wind blew through our barracks in the night
But here at least we slept in peace and safety from the darkness to the light
We worked till our bodies were aching, purging our souls
We worked to be worthy of Jesus saving us all
West there were skies growing darker as smoke filled the air
In Hadleigh we all wore the armour of labour and prayer
