Hiraeth
Long may our hope find a way to escape
The box in the hall where we hid it that day
Long may I see all she tries to hide
Long may she be right by my side
Long may the room where we sleep at night
Hold us in its arms when we lose sight
Long may we speak only honest words
Long may we beat the odds against us
Long may we go to the streets of this town
Our concrete home where we can be found
Long may we love with a fire in our hearts
Unafraid of the ones who put out the spark
Long may we know
Long may we know
Long may we know
Long may we know
Long live the night by the fire in the woods
Our hearts opened wide for all to look

Hidden Springs
So hold your head up high
Summer's round the bend
You made it through these nights
Using all of your defense
But now has come the time
As the air fills up with dust
To look towards the sky
Follow those flocks back to us
Now we head towards the light
Leave the darkness behind
Those winter boots, leave them at the door
Summer's here and though it's fine
To head back from time to time
Those hidden springs will show their face once more
The barn it still stands strong
Jack's a beacon in the night
Your sister marches on
But you're struggling with this fight
Things will never be the same
Like the carving of a stone
You got to live within its grooves
Take that rubble make a home
Now we head towards the light
Leave the darkness behind
Those winter boots, leave them at the door
Summer's here and though it's fine
To head back from time to time
Those hidden springs will show their face once more
Now we head towards the light
Leave the darkness behind
Those winter boots, leave them at the door
Summer's here and though it's fine
To head back from time to time
Those hidden springs will show their face once more
Those hidden springs will show their face once more
Those hidden springs will show their face once more
Those hidden springs will show their face once more

Against The Grain

Against The Grain
Here we go against the grain
The wood that told us stay the same
That change would only break these bones
We took that wood, we made a home
So give me time and give me strength
Give me the patience of a saint
Give me more than I can bare
And I'll carry you away from here
I'll carry you away from here
You hid beneath my winter coat
Take my hand we'll build a boat
We'll leave this place these days behind
Our own escape route we will mine
So give me strength and honesty
The kind that never bares its teeth
And give me more than I can hold
And we'll burn that wood to heat this home
We'll burn that wood to heat this home

Pick Up Our Boots
The river thaws below
The city stores its snow from winter storms
But the mercury's on the rise
Soon it will be time to let her go
Toboggans put away
Reminds me of the days when we'd still hope
That the clocks would gain an hour
And our t-shirt suntans proudly start to grow
We'll pick up our boots
Run beside the river on those tracks we took
When we decide to giv'er
In our hearts we know
Alberta is the place that we'll call home
Our breathe would fill the air
Covered hands prepared to fight the cold
High River's where we'd start
The vein the bled the heart of all we koow
The busker battles strong
Fingerless mittens to make a chord
Then I'll follow 82
It leads me back to you when I'm alone
We'll pick up our boots
Run beside the river on those tracks we took
When we decide to giv'er
In our hearts we know
Alberta is the place that we'll call home
Alberta is the place that we'd call home
Alberta is the place

Brighton Beach
We stood there, Brighton Beach
Morning tide dipped our feet
We hadn't slept all that night
Kept awake by the lights
The flashing pier watched us while
Tangled limbs danced around
The embers still smoked away
Our fire's burnt out since that day
Where's the time, four months passed
Parking lot smokes and glass
Lay on the floor where we stand
Covered limbs replaced that dance
The two of us, like old ships
Lost the map, coordinates
We kept it up way too long
What you hiding from

Last Branch
So where's the sense in all of this
A love that pulled me from the midst
Of a life just spend wandering
Lays beaten on this snowy ground
A shell of what it was we'd found
Clinging on but falling down
Those little clothes we went and bought
Hidden in your knicker drawer
Beneath the hope we'd ridden on
Those little limbs we thought they'd warm
Kept us waiting way too long
Their absence seems to linger on
No I can't be
The last branch on this family tree
Christmas always seems to hurt
And this one couldn't get much worse
But we've got one more fight in us
So we'll pull out the hope we thought we'd lost
Make a space and dust it off
Give it time to warm to us
I promise that one day my dear
The fog will lift, the air will clear
And tiny feet will wander here
And when the darkness lifts on us
We'll hold it closer just because
We fought for what we almost lost
No I won't be
The last branch on this family tree

All We Have
How do we know that here's where we belong
How do we know the right from the wrong
How do we know that things will get better
How do we know that things will get better
How do we know our hearts won't fail us
How do we know the strength we need will always be found
How do we know that things will get better
How do we know that things will get better
How do we know all we have will be enough
How do we know that time won't change on us
Because if all we have is each other
Then that's enough
Because if all we have is each other
Then that's enough
If all we have is each other
Then that's enough
If all we have is each other
Then that's enough

Go Take Me

Go Take Me
I could die a happy man
Because loving you was all I asked
When the angels said just what's your plan
I said go take me to her
And I will do my best to show
A man whose heart won't ever close
Even on those day we know
We haven't reached the bottom
I'll know just when to bite my tongue
To stand my ground but admit I'm wrong
To take the weight she's pulled along
Since her Daddy left her
And I will do my best to be
A man who'll listen quietly
Won't try to fix all of her woes
Just listen 'cos she knows, just listen 'cos she knows
When she's distant, when she's curt
I'll do my best to see to her
Because she needs love most when she's at her worst
I just hope I give it to her
So when they put me in the ground
I'll know that love I went and found
Was the reason this was all allowed
Now go take me to her, go take me to her

You Feel Like Home

You Feel Like Home
You feel like home
More than any four walls
You're the building around me
That creaks when I call
You feel like home
More than any bar stool
Any short single malt
Has me dreaming of you
So tell my mother that I love her
Tell my sister I care
Tell my father I knew better, 'cos he was there
You feel like home
More than the streets that I pine
You're the light from the landing
That coaxed me inside
You feel like home
More than any post code
No letters and numbers
Could leave me feeling so low
So tell my mother that I love her
Tell my sister I care
Tell my father I knew better, 'cos he was there
You feel like home
More than those beaten coast lines
You're the ship that I boarded
To leave them behind
You feel like home
But where that is is unclear
Still that family we started
Will soon lead us there
So tell my mother that I love her
Tell my sister I care
Tell my father I knew better, 'cos he was there
Tell my father I knew better, 'cos he was there

I'm A Fighter
Take my hand we'll lead off
Down Main Street to Danforth
We'll visit our old abode
These days all I hope for
Is someone to care or
For someone to share the load
I'm a drinker I'm a fighter for the ones I love
I'm a thinker despite what they'd always think of us
Yeah I miss you, fight the distance that has beaten us
Yeah I need you, I still need you
Be honest your heart don't
Mean much if it can't grow
So feed it all you can
You built your own garden
Made the most of Autumn
But Christmas it came too soon
I'm a drinker I'm a fighter for the ones I love
I'm a thinker despite what they'd always think of us
Yeah I miss you fight the distance that has beaten us
Yeah I need you, I still need you
I'm a drinker I'm a fighter for the ones I love
I'm a thinker despite what they'd always think of us
Yeah I miss you fight the distance that has beaten us
Yeah I need you, I still need you
I still need you

Old Haunts
I wanna do it all with you
So we can get old and talk it all through
And speak about those trips we had
The lakes of BC, our little London flat
I wanna make you really laugh
So we can grow grey, tell them jokes again
I wanna see those trees we grew
Eclipse this house and our children too
I wanna see our city change
So we'll have old haunts to while away the days
I wanna sing those songs we wrote
Even the dodgy ones when I couldn't hold a note
I wanna make you fight your side
Scream and shout till we're both tongue tied
And argue until our face is blue
But when we go to bed I'll still face you
I wanna do it all with you
So we can get old and talk it all through

Seeds

Seeds
So take them seeds, 'cos spring is near
Cover them in dirt and peat
We'll sit and watch your flowers grow
Along with them your sense of hope
We'll find a spot where come mid-day
The sun will turn from light to shade
And there you'll sit, dog by your side
Some words to pass away the time
Some words to pass away the time
They'll take their time and soon they'll show
A little love can heal a home
And even if those days go by
Deep beneath the dirt you'll find
A patient ear, a little trust
From those friends you kept just close enough
They'll pay you back, not just in kind
'Cos they know open hearts are hard to find
An open heart is hard to find
