FOREVER AVENUE


[VERSE 1]

Now the light has slipped behind the sun
So you're standing on that bridge again
Thinking about leaving, breaking out
From all of the confusion
Cos they promised you a silver lining
If you took their high road
Burning their candles in the iron sky.

[VERSE 2]

And your mother's sleeping
Drifting down into the shallow waters
Colour of purple, sees the faces among shadows
Wrapped in your refrain unfolding
While your wild sister is dancing in a club
Across another land
Says her soul is reborn and she'll stay until the dawn
In the deep of the night
Your older sister's stuck at the library walls again.

[BRIDGE 1]

So I'm holding you as I cry.

[VERSE 3]

Well it seems like the wind is howling your name
When you stretch out your arms
And below the highway is roaring
How could the lights stop tripping
The dim switch in your mind
When you're invisible and no one's home
To hear your burning soul, in the ripple of water.

[VERSE 4]

So they called your mother at 2 in the morning
She stares into the night to catch a star in her hand
Can't think of the answers, just grabs her clothes from the chair
Finds her strength, once again
Then she starts to cry because she knew that you would
If they changed their plans again,
Slithering with the truth
In a paper world.

[BRIDGE 2]

So I'm holding you as I cry.

[VERSE 5]

So she drives a hundred miles high
The radio drowns the echoes in her head
Like the unknown, they collide with the bend in the line on the freeway
And her mascara runs along her cheek
So they walk with her through the corridors
Folks rocking on the chairs
The mattress was turned over in the white room
You were playing the guitar in the garden
Head hung low, smoking your cigarette
A grey sculpture, in the calm among the trees
Where the strange lady with wide eyes, stood two feet high
I don't know what she said then
She just stared into her fears, mending the broken light in my eyes.

[BRIDGE 3]

So I'm holding you as I cry.

[CHORUS]

So you're making me cry
As I hold you close to me
Cos it feels like the belly of the beast
Is floating on our golden crown
While the world waits
For its freedom along the forever avenue.

[OUTRO]

So I'm holding you, for you
As we cry
As we cry
As we cry turning this stone together
As we cry we can laugh again
As we cry we can heal the pain
As we cry I'm holding all the love for you, in our forever avenue
As we cry
Cry
Cry.

Soleil sanguin

Couplet 1

Sanguine Sun, lumière dansante à mon Est
Dans la fièvre de la tempête
Alors que la pluie tombe sur ma peau
Les éclairs tournent sous mes pieds
Pensant à toi alors que je me détourne
En un instant, tu captes mon regard
Je sens ton toucher au cœur de mon obscurité

Refrain

Je te rattraperai toujours
Quand tu danses dans la lumière
Sur le rivage du Soleil sanguin
À bout de souffle, ressens l'amour que nous touchons
À bout de souffle, retiens la nuit dans cette promesse
Murmure mon nom à bout de souffle
Me perdant dans cette sensation
Aie besoin de moi maintenant dans le repos de l'amour

Couplet 2

Tenant ma main dans la nuit argentée
Perdu dans le temps, tu es le rêveur
Souviens-toi quand tu m'as raconté
Des récits des temps anciens
Des marées vers les océans, quelque part entre les deux
Nous avons grimpé jusqu'au sommet de la vague

Pont 1

Le silence de mes os
Sous les graines que nous avons semées
Liée à la terre
Montre-moi ton amour

Pont 2

Au-delà de la peur
Appelle mon nom
Là où j'ai volé trop haut

Refrain final / Outro

Nous nous souvenons
Deux en un
À bout de souffle
Dans la lumière du Soleil sanguin

# INFINITY

[Verse 1]

I was walking along another road
Kicking up the sand
Tracing the echo of all I said
As it kept on turning in your head
I remember
a soft light shifting
and a warm breeze blowing

[Chorus]

In a circle of eight
Have you come to carry the centre of my world
I'm a symbol of your invisible universe
One as two

How fragile you are

[Verse 2]

I saw you walking towards my ancient landscape
Along the spit, pulling that old rope
Told me to listen to the words
Still unspoken, in the night
I remember those, do you?
Raindrops were falling on my lips
There was a harsh wind blowing
and water kisses quivering in the spray

[Chorus]

In a circle of eight
Have you come to carry the centre of my world
I'm a symbol of your invisible universe
One as two

How fragile I am

[Verse 3]

Our feet walked across the soft earth
We went our separate ways
Still searching for you and I
Do you remember
those untold stories of the castle in your head
Deep waters rising, holding each other
Tides washing over
The sand banks where we crawled with laughter

[Chorus]

In a circle of eight
Have you come to shake the centre of my world
They're a symbol of your invisible universe
One as two
How incredible we are

[Bridge]

These tired images seem close to me
In the flicker of a naked light
Looking over this contact strip
Maybe you'll hold this photograph
And you won't remember
the ocean breathing
and the clouds rolling under the sky

[Final Chorus]

In a circle of eight
Have you come to free the centre of my world
We're symbols of our universe
One as two

Now time is our calling

[Outro]

Walking along another road
I remember

the ocean breathing
and the clouds rolling under the sky

We're two as one

Invisible universe

Infinity...

WATERFALL

Verse 1

I'm lost to the etch of time
Feeling the quake of this love
Touch these bare hands
Reaching yours close to mine

Feeling your touch under waterfalls
Breathing as your spirit calls

Pre-Chorus

So you'll let me grow
Because only you know
This vessel of the divine,
Sailing on the edge of time

Chorus

I'll dream a while
And catch you
In a waterfall
Ooh waterfall

Verse 2

Gentle mind
Whispering soul
Reaching man
In a lifetime

So you enter many lives
Opening these sleeping eyes

Chorus

I'll walk a while
And catch you
In this waterfall
Ooh waterfall

Bridge

Our truth entwines,
Now our colours, they're folding in the deep
Ooh, I feel us, we're underwater

Interlude Vocal

Ooh hold me once
We're free spirits moving along the shadows
Release, ooh let go

Outro

I'll sleep a while
By the waterfall
Ooh waterfall
Ooh waterfall

Freefalling under this waterfall
Waterfall
Waterfall...

[Verse 1]

Spirit man, shakes his cards among the trees
Senses all you want to hide
All the pieces we could not hold
Last years love, yesterdays key
Slips away, down to the sea

[Chorus]

I can't see, Oh no
Breath it, break it
Wild river carry me home

[Verse 2]

Oh the humming moth hovers in the fog
This mist leans to the North
Earth is lifting over the sea
Now I am holding on and he's leaving the road behind
Blue on blue
Holds the stillness in the silence

[Chorus]

I can't see, Oh no
Breath it, break it
Wild river carry him home

[Bridge]

Now you feel this distance, that old light as he turns his face
Down by the lighthouse
And we're not ready to turn this stone
And he knows the light among the shadows
All the places he treasures, come and go
Now the night changes, times we recall

[Chorus]

I can't see, Oh no
Breath it, break it
Wild river carry us

[Outro]

I can't see, Oh no
This house of cards
Let it fall, let it break
Wild river carry this vow
Across the storm
Where love shaped his road
Wild river flowing home
Down to the sea
Everything's calling you...
Back to the deep wild

Blue on blue

Oooh ooh ooh

Verse 1

She reaches in the silence
lying next to me
holds my gravity
where the dawn rises
this paintbrush washes across our landscape

Chorus 1

Long road home
Indigo wave
Indigo wave
Indigo wave

Verse 2

then the sound broke our light
saw the cracks in the walls
they came to break our dawn
cast us to the dark room
they tried to take me down

Verse 3

cutting through the grit
count the lies in the bricks of your walls
turning over shadows of your pain
I don't want your cold
as your dream is slipping
I was just another of your strings

Chorus 2

Long road home
Indigo wave
Indigo wave
Indigo wave

Verse 4

Inside my mothers house
are all her secrets
she keeps the words inside her heart
and all of these fractures
crumble in the dust
so she kneels on the earth
with the lady in white
she's seen the spirit in her eyes
they prayed together
in the folds of the wild
as the sun set in his name

Bridge / Outro

let me go now
let me go now
let me go now
Was I just a mistake you needed to break

Final Chorus

Long road home
Indigo wave
Indigo wave
Indigo wave

Iona

[Verse 1]

Seems everything around is falling

Sometimes lost in this silence

These hands born to share

The light in your eyes

Did you see, Did you see

The tears she holds inside this place

Fall in the ocean, over earth


[Verse 2]

Now I'm running along the lines again

Now I'm fumbling in your drift

Looking out of her window

Now I'm lost, this day is long gone

My love is floating

White cloud movin' in the night sky


[Chorus]

So I'll hold you in the silence

Southern winds

Blow away the dark and their voices

Ooh, how they try to break the light

When everything is falling down

I'll take the high road home


[Bridge]

Something's lost in this silence

These hands born to share

Running along the lines

Southern winds haunting

Now Iona's tears fall, where she writes your name

Depth in the waters

Ooh, tears falling over earth


[Outro]

Now I hold her in the silence

Something leaves me in the hush

Iona, now she's staying with

Her love she holds inside

Holding all the pieces

The hands born to share

Hang my hat on the telegraph pole


[Final Section]

...and I'll take this high road home

Iona she ain't leavin'

Now I am going, going

White cloud in the night sky

Ooh, white cloud in the night sky

Iona

Iona

Iona...

[Verse 1]
Remember the winter chill
Climbing the curve of the hill
Evening's light bends with the land

The roar in the dark
They took the high road
We ate the bitter pill

[Chorus]
Where do you hide?
With that hurt inside?
They broke the silence

Where will you hide?
With the scars in you?
Evening tide floats, inside of you
Feel the loss, outside of you
Outside...

[Interlude] [Verse 2]
They broke the silence
Dancing shadows, liars in the fog
I forgot, looking back
To open the window

As I was lying in your arms
They slowed us down
To get their dirt, feel the burn
Weight of the floor

[Chorus]
Where do you hide?
With that hurt inside?
They broke the silence

Where will you hide?
With the scars in you?
Evening tide floats, inside of you
Feel the loss, outside of you
Outside...

[Outro]
Now I'm being pulled back
Fleeing from the lies
And heard the judge set them free

Cold, cold landslide
Harsh surf, out across the sea
Now it's over me
Now it's done, done, done...

[Chorus]
Where do you hide?
With that hurt inside?
They broke the silence

Where will you hide?
With the scars in you?
Evening tide floats, inside of you
Feel the loss, outside of you
Outside...

[Bridge]
So before you go
Feel the love deep in me
Don't fear what we've found
'Cos I never asked you
Do you feel the love inside of me?

[Coda]
Climbing the curve of the hill
Where evening's light bends with the land
And I'll bide my time
To feel change again

So here we are
Here we are, here, here, here...
