Slipping 03:46
Days slipping through the net It's unusual that I should forget Sun goes in now Weight from my eyes Fade to blackness Perfect disguise Slipping into other people's pictures Oh it's the easiest way to travel Congratulations was it easy to achieve Oh helping you with your bags was the easiest way to leave And I don't know what happens next But it won't be what we expect Straight from a lifetime of waiting for playtime Still the surprise at the end of the daytime Trying to get out of the rising tide Think all the things that you left inside Oh it's unusual Days days days days Congratulations was it easy to achieve Oh helping you with your bags was the easiest way to leave And I don't know what happens next But it won't be what we expect

Silver Purse 04:21
I remember when you told me about the real things About dreaming and believing in the daydreams You told me how you'd see things the way they'd seem to you I remember when you told me about things still left to do But things are hazy except in hindsight How were we to know it was the last night You told me we can't make time slow its pace for us And we can't lock the stars inside a silver purse Now's the time to let them shine, the sky will always change Things you feel, the things you know will never stay the same I remember the last things you told me And I replied See you In January In January So always take the chance you get to say what's on your mind It's difficult to catch up when words leave you behind Seize the day the poets say and some day you will find You can trust today More than tomorrow You can trust today more than tomorrow I remember the last things you told me And I replied See you In January In January So always take the chance you get to play a different tune Don't forget a heart that beats can never love too soon Seize the day the poets say and some day you will know You can trust today More than tomorrow You can trust today more than tomorrow

I think there must be something in the water My eyes seem to be flooding in the rain And if there's nothing in the water there is something in the wine I'm telling myself stories that I swore I'd left behind Is it really such a mystery That a favourite living enemy should come back to me From the ashes of a memory? It just doesn't seem right There must be something in the wine The history books are rising from the flame The pages filled with your forgotten name I'm mesmerised by memories of battles that we waged Who said you could come back here rattling my cage? Is it really such a mystery That a favourite living enemy should come back to me From the ashes of a memory? It just doesn't seem right There must be something in the wine But while I'm lucid there'll be no more abuses While I'm lucid there'll be no more excuses There is no final happiness to capture And there isn't going to be a final chapter But I swear there must be something in the water Or something in the wine I think there must be something in the water My eyes seem to be flooding in the rain And if there's nothing in the water there is something in the wine I'm telling myself stories that I swore I'd left behind Is it really such a mystery That a favourite living enemy should come back to me From the ashes of a memory? It just doesn't seem right There must be something in the wine Oh it doesn't seem right There must be something in the wine

Gave you a start when she came in last night Shock of a face in the still Takes time to settle down She's not your little sunshine She's the pale moon In your room What to do You can't take the risk Can't take the alternative Can't take the kiss if you know it's the last Now you're crossing the bridge But you've nothing to burn it with Peering through mist as she waits in the past Let her go Let her go Sundays in markets and catnaps in bookshops She's there by your side every day Every day She watches you burn every tiny memento Catches your tears as the flames warm the sky She understands all that you've been through But she's not your reason why She's not your little sunshine You can't take the risk You can't take the alternative Can't take the kiss if you know it's the last Now you're crossing the bridge But you've nothing to burn it with Peering through mist as she waits in the past Let her go Let her go She's not your little sunshine She's the pale moon
