Mellotones on the Seahorse Floor 04:09
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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

Voice in the Rolling Seas 01:56
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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

Fishin' Down by the Shore 02:28
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
