I forget the taste of your breathe
Did you forget what it felt like when we met
Holding hands on the seahorse floor
Is that too much for to be begging for
Is it something you remember or did you forget?
Just like that month you still ain’t over yet (ain’t over yet)
Calling you drunk coming in from the sea
I was praying that you’d believe me
And you would wonder how I got this number
I would wonder if you’d believe my hunger
Oh ‘cause life is such a wonder with no guarantees (no guarantees)
Close your eyes now and hum the tune
Walk away under the city moon
I didn’t think you were gonna believe
In the words falling out of me
As I pleaded for a second chance at the middle spoon
Taking shots now to loosen the mouth
I forget what I’m going on about
I just wanna dance with you and the Mellotones
Back when we never stared at our phones
I just wanna dance with you and the Mellotones
Back when we never stared at our phones
Now I catch myself waking from the dream
Stop yourself from doing the routine
In this everything you wanted and more?
Is this everything you wanted me for?
Don’t be ever afraid to be mean, just let me know
I forget the taste of your breathe
Did you forget what it felt like when we met
Holding hands on the seahorse floor
Is that too much for to be begging for
Is that something that you remember or did you forget?
‘Cause it's something I’ll always remember, I’ll never forget
(Never forget)

Queen Mary
03:55
|

Queen Mary come along for a ride with me
The thoughts in my mind I don't care to see
You settle my nerves just like a rain
And I forget what it feels like to feel pain
And I love the way that you paint the sky
The way you dim the lights and hang the moon up high
And I can hear a song in the way the coyote sings
This is just one of your more beautiful things
Now close my eyes and put me to bed
And I forget all the words I said
And we can sail on the ocean in my mind
I'm not worried about tomorrow ‘cause we have time

You and I
03:00
|
|||
You and I riding our bikes along the open road
Skipping rocks and getting our feet wet along the shore
You and I skiing underneath the tamarack trees
And every moment is just a different discovery
You and I waking up early to climb the mountains trails
And you put a smile on face and you never fail
You and I driving the tractor and getting our chores done
Well I can’t imagine my life as any more fun
And this won’t last
But that's ok
I have you today
I have you today
You and I counting the stars as they light the sky
Till it’s our time to tell our stories in the bed we lie
You and I climbing into my bed after a scary dream at night
I wrap my arms around you and smother the fright
And I don’t want to miss it
And I don’t want to watch it slip away
And I don’t want to miss it
So I will be here every moment that I can
You and I driving to school with wonder in your eyes
Now this is love that I only heard others describe
You and I playing piano and making up our own songs
Not a doubt in mind now this is where I belong

A Painful Case
02:30
|
|||
Now what is this that we hide behind the veil
A reverie that is left to leave stale
A fountain which we don’t drink
A moment we must see to sink
but are you cold in the city this morning?
Was there a message in the tea you were pouring?
A Christian mark from your ceiling fell
I heard you had a story to tell
And over your shoulder the smoke it does go
An absent jealousy that only you would know
I guess it's time to count myself out
I failed to figure what the story’s about
But I could not feel you near
And your voice is absent from my ear
And I never felt your touch
Yet I miss you so much
So much
Turning back the way we came
As the engines perverted my brain
And I doubt what memory and reality has to say
Under the London plane as the rumble ran away

Clouds are drifting over the hill
Over your body invisible
I swore I heard your voice in them rolling seas
The only truth that I do know
Is down this path that I must must go
Don’t know where it leads yet I enjoy the ride
The children now cover my eyes
A fragment of your disguise
Paints me a picture of your love forgiveful and kind
But I swore I saw you hiding behind their eyes
And Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Well I guess you can leave now if you must
But you better be waiting there for me
‘Cause I swore I heard your voice in them rolling seas

Opportuity or Home
03:21
|

You want opportunity or do you want a home
You can’t have both so you choose to go
To the a place everyone talks about
And all that wealth that they can’t live without
They talk of the jobs, yeah they talk of the money
But when people are lonely, they act a little funny
And they don’t talk about all the pain
While your lying in bed missing your home again
Forgive me I'm not where I’m used to
I don't recognize who I’m turning into
So now your alone in your little cell
And you miss your wife in this living hell
and your ways have changed from what they were
But don’t get confused no ‘cause I’m not her
And do you remember who you used to be
Or did you forget it all when you got to calgary
Does your father know what’s become of you?
And would your mother be proud of who you are too?
I don’t think I can want take this anymore
No I don't think I can stay here anymore
Just take me back home where the waves crash the beach
Where the seagull flies high across the sun just out of reach

Late at night when the moon decorates the sky
Down to the shore on the 4 wheeler we fly
Start the fire ‘cause I think I'm gonna stay late
Cut the bait put it on the hook and now we wait
Under the stars and the first time now it’s quiet
I forgot what it feels like to sit in silence
Once I relax the see the top of the rod bend
The best part is sitting here with you my friend
Fishing down by the shore
I don’t think I want much more
Then fishing down by the shore
I just heard a shag dipping down low
And I am wondering what is hidden down there below
Crustastions now come attracted to the light
It’s just another wonder that shows itself at night
Fishing down by the shore
I don’t think I want much more
Then fishing down by the shore
I got a bite now pull it in pull it in
You got a bite now pull it in pull it in

Never Needed Any Luck
03:54
|

You never needed any luck
Everything just falls into place
You never needed any luck
A crooked smile on your face
I wanna get lost in the woods
I wanna feel your beating heart
I wanna get lost in the woods
I wanna feel what it feels like to be apart
You can’t love someone
You don’t feel sorry for
No
I can hear my mothers voice
I sit back and watch the crowd move ahead
I can hear my mothers voice
With hesitation in what she said
She said that all men are the same
I was too young to understand how
She said that all men are the same
I sure as hell understand now
You can’t love someone
You don’t feel sorry for
No
You can’t love someone
You don’t feel sorry for
No

Father
09:14
|

Father I wish I could see your eyes
As they gauged to sea up ahead
And calmed the nerves of the weary
With the words that you said
Father I wish I could hear your prayers
As the bow hits the mouth of the harbour
As you leaned on the knife as it
Broke the skin of the mackerel
Father I wish I could hear your excitement
With every trap pulled aboard
With every invention and experiment
And every trick you explored
Father I wish I could hear your wisdom
Ingrained in the stories you told
I replay them most nights
Yet they never grow old
Father I wish I could hear your laughter
It was my most fun to make
I still remember all the lines
That would make you break
Father I wish I could sit in silence
As the oceans passes under our feet
Shades of blue and yellow in your eyes
Where the sun and ocean meet
Father I wish I could hear your songs
As they would please the seabirds high
Bring smiles to our faces
With every wave that passed us by
Father I wish that you could see me
And I could see you
And I could see you
If I could only see you
