Luxury 06:40
I would never judge you, not what I do I would not begrudge you, nor listen too It's a luxury I don't have, or is my choice It's a long long way from here, beyond my voice I would never let you, out of my senses I would not obstruct you, leading back home It's a luxury I don't have, or is my choice It's a long long way from here, beyond my voice It's a luxury x2 I will never fool you, with other's games I would never brand you, with foolish names It's a luxury I don't have, or is my choice It's a long long way from here, beyond my voice I would never judge you, not what I do I would not begrudge you, nor listen too It's a luxury I don't have, or is my choice It's a long long way from here, beyond my voice It's a luxury x2

Souvenir 04:27
It happened far too soon, this world was all you knew Your dreams too wide the ice too thin Was love just a souvenir, a dow ship grounded on the shore Or did it feel a little dearer, Ceacofron you are born It happened far too soon, the fame and fortune grew But in the sands of time you paid your price Was love just a souvenir, a dow ship grounded on the shore Or did it feel a little dearer, Ceacofron you are born

The Mill 06:01
Home is where soul light shines, whisping inbetween life lines Finding where a family seeks, solitude for weeks and weeks Knowing if they go away, there's always a place to come and stay The reasons that you carry on, can be the shining of a song At the Mill, you can, feel the pulse, of an, open stage that is full of anticipation All at once there's a, harmony, that will, find your heart, in a chorus of angels It's a world inside, other worlds that can, alter space, into other dimensions Now we're here and we, need to look upward, see the lights and leap into the sky..... Leap into the sky At the Mill, you can, feel the charge, of a, studio that is full of imagination All at once there's an, empathy, that will, find your life, that will resonate all around you It's a world changer, not a single stranger, seeking space, into other creations Now we're here and we, need to look upward, see the lights and leap into the sky..... Leap into the sky Suddenly we're in the sunshine, suddenly we're not alone All this time the desert called me But there's no need to be there to be there to be there at all

Stormchasers 04:29
Leaping down toward the field Slipping down the mud and leaves Tripping corn and soil alike Stopping for another strike Sleeping with the storm Life has only meaning here Mother nature cradles me to dream There is no calm there is no fear Sleeping with the storm Life has only meaning here Mother nature cradles me to dream There is no calm there is no fear

All I see or seem to be is just a dream within a dream I don't want you to give me anything, I'll open the door myself You're going your way on a one way street Like a one way mission, in pursuit of retreat What lies above us, what lies below, is nothing compared to what lies within. People think our lives are empty and just begging to step through the door The summer takes the sun from your world you will see the star in your eye You're going your own way on a one way street Like a one way mission, in pursuit of retreat What lies above us, what lies below, is nothing compared to what lies within. You're going your way on a one way street Like a one way mission, in pursuit of retreat What lies above us, what lies below, is nothing compared to what lies within. Is nothing compared to what lies within. You're going your way on a one way street You're going your way on a one way street

Red Sky 04:36
Look me straight in the eye, and tell me all I did was in vain, Take that look off your face, You too good at faking the smiles and the tears. Over these years There's a red sky tonight, It's no good pretending that all will be alright, It's a red sky tonight, I should stand down from the dreams that you, keep me wondering how, try to use my conscience, feed from my emotion, fight your fights with my fists enough is enough. Take the drama and lies, and just about all of the things I despise, Don't look back through the door, Just carry on down until you're out of sight.

Crystal Lake 04:27
If you placed me right in front of an open closing door And told me than my every dream came truer than before Do you think Id let my trust deny my pride's own sake And draw me in so easily toward the crystal lake So here you've got me through it's good I can't deny There's Crystal Clifford Making waves I try to wonder why Prancing round in plastic breeks with smiles so very fake I wonder if he'd like to dive into the crystal lake

Sand dunes falling and dragging walking, as bells ring out in the fairy light moon, A fine ale waiting upon the table, The laughter ringing like bells we're there soon The Sky's alive and filled with twisting laces Skies arrive with hope and lightning chasing starlings 'cross the blue sky Broken busses and rain can't stop us, the roller coasters and neon poppers With lights that lead us to cappuccinos The starlings spinning the pier will guide us now...... In colours bathing the sea I think of you Away from silence I know you'll let me through Playing hide and seek in the lights, as lightning crackles out on the shore It comforts me that we think the same, it comforts me that we'll be back for more A fine ale waiting upon the table, The laughter ringing like bells we're there soon it comforts me that we will be soon back for more x2
9.
Time and again I thought I knew, of the ways of time, and of the calling of the icy seas oh yeah Take it out on me, to see what I can see, take it out on me, I'll be what you want me to be. Out of the cold I came and found you, in a time of woe, there I saw myself as I never knew, You washed away my fear and anger, living in the light, now I owe it to you to put things right oh yeah Elluding the pain I felt in my labarynth of cast of nightmares feeding away inside my mind, now I gaze in wonder at your works of love I will be forever yours Where the river flows to the sea, where the golden oak's said to be, before I sail to the sun, don't say goodbye.
