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

Kiss Of The World

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

Tears Of The Sun

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)

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
