Wake before the sunrise, a storm upon the horizon Shake my head awake again, and prepare to walk some more Clouds reflect warm and distant towns, there's you somewhere in that silent air Paths that cross without knowing how, in streams below and worlds up there. Hills that I cursed over, fade over my shoulder Looking on I bring to you, years I shouldn't count now I will come home, but when the skies have cleared for now You can't deserve this, it's all too much for now Fields decide on the tracks I'll form, and rain cores shall plot the miles Taking over the thoughts that cry, carpeting the darkness for a while I will come home, but when the skies have cleared for now You can't deserve this, it's all too much for now

Holiday 05:35
It's late at night, and music fades away, Another look, another place to stay After the clock, has faded into sleep, It's time to dream, of the last day in May We'll find the time, we'll look ahead Taking our clues, just from the paths we've led, Got the right shoes, got the right raincoat, There's always something left on the bed Doing things our own way, and turn it into a holiday Plan out another way, and doing it our own way We cross the bridge, and settle for an hour, and break the harmony, by numbering the tower The pylon wires will follow us some more, Another station, and music to explore A sky of clouds, a land of trees And every marvellous encounter that we seize And yet it feels, we never are alone, The next adventure, is the one when we're back home

Now I've reached the coastline, and the day is looking tired Head just nicely spinning from the views that I've admired Fairy lights are swaying in the front of someone's porch Dancing smoke from sand-dune fires, the sight I had desired Finally here again Saves me now and then Beauty in the skies Finally here again Years ago it felt right, walking on the cliffs Holes along the footpath, you could view the sea below Now I feel more careful, but safety feels too numb I'm dancing in the sunshine, and laughing in the snow Now I've reached the station, where signal lights still glow Heading for a city, and another crazy show Music fills the blue streets, and rattles round the towers A thousand ways to live life, with many more to go

If I could take this painting, and turn it into dreams, I'd run away through those streets, and conjure frightening themes Through the lights and colours, I live a separate way A painting that cost nothing, has led my life astray Fools will follow money, and fritter it away, I will always have this, until my final day Pictures tell a hundred tales, and every one is true, I'll start it really simple, then take it to extremes I waste too much time eating, and talking to my friends, I'll savour what the paint reveals, the joy that never ends If I could take this painting, and turn it into dreams, I'd run away through those streets, and conjure frightening themes

Fountains glow, feel like water flow, and then Stars float pale, silent Fields fading, twilight Times shared and hallowed, Calm waters, cradle light Lighthouse stairs, twisting Bright lens flares, twisting Creatures graze, seaward Tower clouds, sky-chase Sleeping days, dreamscape Falling mist, light fade Walking days, sand dune Kites dance out, tail-slide
