Waxen Wings 04:38
Waxen Wings When I saw you the wind ripped through me And chilled me to the skin On the horizon the clouds were rolling in Though the sun is calling me away You bring me to my knees And I don’t know what you even want from me When these waxen wings they seem to melt right through Oh and that will be the story of me and you And of why I fall to earth for you Your shadow dances on the moonlit castle In the silence of the night A thousand years the stone has waited for this sight Though the sun is calling me away You bring me to my knees And I don’t know what you even want from me When these waxen wings they seem to melt right through Oh and that will be the story of me and you And of why I fall to earth for you Your eyes grow silent and the waves they crash down But you won’t save my soul I can see your wings now starting to unfold Though the sun is calling me away Never to return And I don’t know what you even want from me When these waxen wings they seem to melt right through Oh and that will be the story of me and you And of why I fall to earth for you For you, for you That’s why I fall, fall to earth for you That’s why I fall, fall to earth for you That’s why I fall, fall to earth for you That’s why I fall, fall to earth for you

Something changed That I can’t explain It’s like I dreamt it all away And I woke up on a new day So get your things let’s go I think that I’m sold With the kiss of the world Watching life unfold With the kiss of the world And I feel like I’m alive I feel like I’m on fire And I will hold on to your love You know you’re preaching to the choir I took my time In a place that held no meaning There was no light, no air to breathe And white noise to drown out the screaming Of all those lost souls Who break the mould, who brave the cold And we’ll be flying at last Caught in the blast from the past as it explodes With the kiss of the world yeah I'm watching life unfold And I feel like I’m alive I feel like I’m on fire And I will hold on to your love You know you’re preaching to the choir I’ve travelled so far To be right back where I started I think of all the wasted days When I was broken and downhearted Now all I touch turns to gold I feel it in my soul Na na na na And I feel like I’m alive I feel like I’m on fire And I will hold on to your love You know you’re preaching to the choir And I feel like I’m alive I feel like I’m on fire And I will hold on to your love You know you’re preaching to the choir

It’s the morning after the night before I know you’ve all been there I’m sure Feeling shaky and a little insecure There’s nothing worse than a life unlived But the memory of what you did Hits me like a heat wave And I can’t make it out of bed All these thoughts keep swimming through my head So I called and I said I’m feeling pretty down Would you mind very much if I came around I won’t steal the covers and I won’t make a sound I dreamt of you throughout the night Surrounded by a blinding light Thought you’d come to save me I just can’t seem to settle down I suppose it’s fair enough somehow That you might want to leave me But I hope that we can carry on I never knew my feelings were so strong And these god awful dreams, the worst of my fears They still have a hold after so many years After so many battles, after so many tears Don’t you know that somewhere Where the sea meets the sky on the horizon There’s a ship left adrift on the ocean There’s a half eaten meal And there’s no one on board And I am never where I want to be No I am never where I want to be No I am never where I - Never where I want to be No I am never where I - Never where I want to be No I am never where I - Never where I want to be Ooh ooh ooh - Ooh ooh ooh No I am never where I - Never where I want to be No I am never where I - Never where I want to be No I am never where I - Never where I want to be

When I first saw her in the mountains, the air was cool and thin Her dark soft eyes they left me breathless, already knew I’d never win And the life that I was leaving, I kept it hidden out of sight Now the sound of distant gunfire, wakes me in the night And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down You might never guess to know me, all the troubles I have seen You know I took so many lives away and killed so many dreams I know how you would watch me sleeping, half excited half afraid With a killer for a lover and living half a world away And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down The first time was the hardest, after that you no longer see Don’t you be too quick to judge, you’ve never known poverty And I never knew the men I killed, never saw the blood running red Come on you know they had it coming, and the world is better with them dead And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down Many years later, I returned to find her gone They shot her in broad daylight, under the tears of the sun And they said she never flinched. Cold steel in her eyes They forced her to her knees, and they let the bullets fly And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down They threw my body in the river. They threw away my dreams The sun was blinking through the branches, as I floated down the stream Now I’m forever in the mountains, in every leaf in every tree Soaking up the sunlight while you struggle hard to breathe Just soaking in the sunlight, while you struggle hard to breathe And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down, raining raining down - oh oh And the tears of the sun raining down on everyone

Neon (Live) 04:53
You wouldn’t believe what happened to me A bolt from the blue, a feeling so true All I could think was that it’s easy to say To bury it deep, hide it away The light that you shine Won’t shine for me Won’t shine for me The light in the evening, orange and grey Reflected in neon flickering away The faraway laughter that leads you astray With the promise of more - all that you crave The light that you shine Won’t shine for me Won’t shine for me You shone like the sun in a perfect sky And you won't see I’m lost in the night Drawn to the neon lights And it burns I’m tired and I’m done Lost all I won Don’t want to belong anymore I’m shutting you down I’m starting to stutter I still look to the stars though I lie in the gutter Can’t you see I’m a mess? You shouldn’t mess with me The city is sleeping, the sirens call me The light that you shine Won’t shine for me Won’t shine for me Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh Mmm The night streets are warm, shine from the rain Screw your eyes to the light as you’re drifting away They’re shutting up shop, closing the blinds The neon keeps buzzing, I can’t read the signs The light that you shine Won’t shine for me Won’t shine for me Oh the light that you shine won’t shine for me
