I Couldn't Ask For More

I’ll be with you when you go away,
When you’re back I’ll remind you of the things that we’ll do,
When were old and grey, then you’ll look away
It’ll be something that you’ll say to me then and now
I could only rely on the things I know but when it comes to you
I rely on the things that I don’t.
The time I spent alone that year
I put down to good experience.
Its not like it’s made me a better man
But it’s only made me wiser still
Being here brings me up and down
I couldn’t ask for more.
Sometimes I look at life without a care
Its only yesterday that taught me how to be who I am
When it seems that nothing else could go my way
I look at you, you look at me
Is it this that draws me home every now and then?
I couldn’t ask it more
I couldn’t ask for more
When you see me when you’re walking through the door

Crossing The Line

When I saw you on the platform there
Waiting patiently beside the sign
That indicated your train would be in a minutes time
My heart leapt a thousand times and back
I had to get across the track
My legs nearly buckled under strain
As I ran across to catch the train
Up a cast-iron mountain
And down the other side
My heart leapt a thousand times and back
I had to get across the track
As I descended to the platform floor
I could hear the sound of closing doors
And the whir of an engine starting up
My heart leapt a thousand times and back
My heart leapt a thousand times and back
I watched you head off down the track
And you didn’t look back

When I Get Back

When I get back to you now that you’ve decided
I have had enough
When I get back to you now you’ve worked out
Things that were and weren’t and,
I have climbed the highest highs and lowest lows for you
When I get back from exile there’s nothing else to do
When I get back to you, down the darkened road
You sent me on tonight
When I get back to you, can’t forget the things
That were and weren’t and
I have climbed the highest highs,
And lowest lows for you
When I get back to you darling,
There’s nothing else to do
So please stay awake, on the road for a while
In a moment you’d be lost without a trace
So please stay awake on the road for a while
In a moment they’ll be gone forever
Really, truly gone forever
Never to return and tell the tale

The Real Thing

Walk through the fields
Cane sugar bleeds
And seeps into my mind
With the real thing again
Walk through the door
Stale air inside
I haven’t been this way
This way for a while
But what was I even thinking
There’s no answer there
Was I looking for a saviour?
Was I hoping you would care?
But when I held you in my arms
I knew I’d gone too far
But what was I even thinking
There’s no answer there
Was I looking for a saviour?
Was I hoping you would care?
But when I held you in my arms
I knew I’d gone too far
Walk through the streets
Led by my feet
Time to say goodbye
To the real thing again

Just Say The Word
04:28

Wish I could, simply have looked away
It would have been so much, easier that way
As it was, I stayed where you were found
Wished my soul away, on consecrated ground
Faith, you can forget it
Hope, will have to do, for me
But if you asked of me what nobody,
Should ask of me, then I’d say yes,
I’d pull the walls down, let the roof fall
Somehow I would find the strength
For you, just say the word
Simple words, small talk, the time of day
I knew that soon it would take you away,
To the house, standing by the shore
And from there, to where you were before
Faith, you can forget it
Hope, will have to do, for me
But if you asked of me what nobody,
Should ask of me, then I’d say yes,
I’d pull the walls down, let the roof fall
Somehow I would find the strength
So, ask of me what nobody
Should ask of me, then I’ll say yes,
I’ll pull the walls down, let the roof fall
A broken shell I’ll give to you
Just say the word
