Annum (LYRICS)

  It’s the summertime

Best you’ll ever be

Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free

Dream your bad times away

like a cloud, like a daydream

Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free

Close your eyes and the moment’s gone

Sun sits low as the nights grow long

Witness the seasons drop in line

Fall on through another year in time

•

  It’s the summertime

Best you’ll ever be

Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free

Dream your bad times away

like a cloud, like a daydream

Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free

Close your eyes and the moment’s gone

Sun sits low as the nights grow long

Witness the seasons drop in line

Fall on through another year in time

Summertime:

In the Summertime

Summertime:

Life was a breeze

It was the summertime

Best there’ll ever be

An old man said that his clearest mind was in the summertime

Summertime:

In the Summertime

Summertime:

Life was a breeze

 Hey, wait, you look so tired

Wait, hey, so far gone

Hey, wait, can you force a smile,

when you live a life uphill?

Day after day – a love sits quiet

Day after day – a love so still

Wish I could know what stirs inside you

•

Hey, wait, what’s in your mind?

Wait, hey, what’s in the bottom drawer?

Do you keep a perfect secret?

Are you evening up the sc

 Hey, wait, you look so tired

Wait, hey, so far gone

Hey, wait, can you force a smile,

when you live a life uphill?

Day after day – a love sits quiet

Day after day – a love so still

Wish I could know what stirs inside you

Hey, wait, what’s in your mind?

Wait, hey, what’s in the bottom drawer?

Do you keep a perfect secret?

Are you evening up the score?

Day after day – a love sits quiet

Day after day – a love so still

Wish I could know what stirs inside you

Used to be in someone’s arms - Used to be somewhere to run

Used to be in someone’s arms - Used to be somewhere to run

•

Hey Wait

A love sits quiet

A love so still

Used to be

Used to be somewhere to run

Used to be in someone’s arms

Used to be somewhere to run

Hey Wait: Used to be in someone’s arms

Hey Wait: Used to be somewhere to run

Hey Wait: Used to be in someone’s arms

Used to be somewhere to run

  Travel and you’ll see the signs

Before, before you

Unravel all these things of mine

It becomes, it becomes you

Castles stand and rivers wind

To the sea that’s below you

Waves of blue rushing over you

Can you see the signs?

Can you tell what is mine?

•

You’re woven in these things of mine

It’s sign, before you

Pull it only makes it shine

Pull on your

  Travel and you’ll see the signs

Before, before you

Unravel all these things of mine

It becomes, it becomes you

Castles stand and rivers wind

To the sea that’s below you

Waves of blue rushing over you

Can you see the signs?

Can you tell what is mine?

•

You’re woven in these things of mine

It’s sign, before you

Pull it only makes it shine

Pull on yours, pull on mine

Waves of blue rushing over you

Can you see the signs?

Can you tell what is mine?

•

When the world falls off its hinge and your mind is wearing thin

As you shelter in your place turn around and feel the waves

•

Waves of blue rushing over you

Can you see the signs?

Can you tell what is mine?

I see waves of green rushing in between

I can see the signs

I can tell that you’re mine

     If I thought I could change your mind

Bring back the lights that shined

Well, I felt quite alone that day

And it’s hard for me to say

“That’s my sole regret”

“That’s my own sorrow”

If I thought I could change your mind

Take a look and you will find

That that’s my sole regret

That’s my own sorrow

But reality hit me in the eyes

But reality h

Bring back the lights that shined

Well, I felt quite alone that day

And it’s hard for me to say

“That’s my sole regret”

“That’s my own sorrow”

If I thought I could change your mind

Take a look and you will find

That that’s my sole regret

That’s my own sorrow

But reality hit me in the eyes

But reality has hit me in the eyes

Had a thought that it could change

Tried to make a clearer way

But the words I hear you say

I don’t think that it can change

•

Had a thought that it could change

Tried to make a clearer way

But the words I hear you say

I don’t think that it can change

•

Had a thought I could change your mind

About a girl that I left behind

Fore it’s plain to see

Things are better this way

Better this way.

Better this way.

  You wish it wasn’t over, but it looks like it is

Try to straighten up your shoulders, from that kick in the ribs

And I can tell you honey “you’re gonna be alright”

And I call tell you baby “it’s gonna be alright”

And maybe it will

Now you look to me for comfort, well what can I do

I can mix you up a cocktail, or I can play you the blues

Or I

Or I can tell you honey “it’s gonna be alright”

And I call tell you baby “it’s gonna be alright”

•

Baby, do you ever wonder

why I’m always there for you?

One day, maybe it gonna hit you

That I am the one

honey it’s gonna be alright

honey it’s gonna be alright

•

Baby, do you ever wonder

why I’m always there for you?

One day, maybe it gonna hit you

That I am the one

I’m glad that’s over, even if you’re not

I’m only getting older, I’m gonna take my shot

I’m gonna grab you honey and treat you right

And you can call me “baby” even just for one night

And maybe we will

  Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving
Not a care, anywhere, this evening

You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason
You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom

The heat of the day, you can sleep it away
Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea
Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust

  Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving
Not a care, anywhere, this evening

You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason
You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom

The heat of the day, you can sleep it away
Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea
Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust
Watch the day turn into dusk

•

Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving
Not a care, anywhere, this evening

You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason
You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom

Night is the time, with senses alive
It’s the time to take what they’ve got
See the world on your terms, pick and choose who to turn
It’s all there, for a girl at the top

 

•

In and out of the woodwork again

Falling in and out of the woodwork again

•

The heat of the day, you can sleep it away
Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea
Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust
Watch the day turn into dusk

Come out

Come out

Of the woodwork

Outside the stars shine: Clear

Walk past the songbird bath

Up to the screen door

Inside a lilting laugh

Calls from the room in back

I’m gonna meet you

  Hedge of stones, standing alone

Lining the Witch’s Tree

Lay you down, head on the ground

Watching the Witch’s Tree

Look and see

I’ll take your word for it

Climb that tree

Don’t want another disease

Look at me

I wanna run for it

On your knees

   Closer you stand there the stiller the air is

This is the Witch’s Tree

Cracks in the pavement, stand through the ages

Take in the Witch’s Tree

Past is forgotten, now a notch in 

A branch on the Witch’s Tree

Notches for others, lost at the crossroads

Marked by the Witch’s Tree

•

(Look and see, Climb that tree, Look at me)

Stand alone, draw near and you’ll see

Notches for others, lost at the crossroads

Marked by the Witch’s Tree

  Stare into the hearth

Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold

Tread on no one’s trail

Some ships only sail into harbors that welcome none

Kindle an open flame

Footsteps on a path

Cut in through the grass to a clearing that no one knows

Kindle an open flame

Chimney sits above

Ashes on the rug from a fire that no one tends

Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold

Tread on no one’s trail

Some ships only sail into harbors that welcome none

From the north, with the horseman’s knot

From the sea with Eurasian pox

Stare into the hearth

Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold

Chimney sits above

Ashes on the rug from a fire a worn man tends

Kindle an old man’s flame
