Say Goodbye
Something moves inside my head
A rattle of wheels, a rustle of leaves
Someone calls me from my room outside
I watch the strange men tear down the trees
Even your face it seems different now
In this light, things seem to change
A different view from my window each night
A bedtime story about an age of change
Names and faces flood the air at night
I visit places that I once knew
I say goodbye to people everywhere
I wave a last goodbye to all my friends
I wave a last goodbye to all my friends

Landslide
A house in the sun
A place where I can sit and watch the world go by
A heart in a home
In a world, that’s oh-so far away
A face on a beach
Countless names to countless faces that’ll never meet
A place in your heart
Is a place, that I don’t really need
Ghosts in the morning air now the haze is lifting
Sunlight through my window – I begin to unwind
Seasons come & seasons go
But life stays the same, one year after year
One landslide after landslide
One landslide after landslide
One landslide after landslide
But meanwhile, I’ll stay at home
A place in the sun
People talking, people changing, I know I’m one
A heart in a home, in a world that’s oh-so far away
A girl on a beach
Hungry children, starving millions that she’ll never meet
A place in a world, in a time, that is so very near
Ghosts in the morning air now the haze is lifting
Sunlight through my window – I begin to unwind
Seasons come & seasons go
But life stays the same, one year after year
One landslide after landslide
One landslide after landslide
One landslide after landslide
But meanwhile, I’ll stay at home

...of all the Stories
A tactical silence – a girl on a telephone
I seem to be wasting so much time
A light from your window
Shines into my eyes – I think over something that you said
I hear someone talking – their words are so soft and clear
I think over something that you said
A chamber of echoes - a drive in the morning air
No one will ever find me here
Of all the stories that she once told to me
Of all the people in her life
I didn’t realise that it meant so much to you
Something you said last night
Something you said last night

Please Believe Me
We teach the boys to shout and sing and dance
I watch this rhythm grow too strong for me to hold
Just like a candle, that burns so bright
Just like a beacon – in the dark
Familiar faces, in familiar lights
Familiar voices, on cold, dark nights
Please believe, all the stories that I told
Please believe me in this song – We call our own
We call our own
We call our own
We call our own
I watch the seconds, I watch hundreds all tick by
But in the evenings we can sit and watch the fires
That burn so brightly, they shine so cold
We can watch them from a window in your room

Silent World
Feel the heat on the back of my neck
Watch the lights all change as you drive by
One last kiss – One last smile
One last kiss – One last smile
In my silent world
In my silent world
In my silent world
In my silent world
Call a name out in an empty hall
See their faces change as you tell your news
No chance to talk – no time to lie
No chance to talk – no time to lie

To Save a Life
I - I try to talk in time
I- I tried to save your life
But you - you don't talk to me
I - I tried to save your life
