And I know
You're the only one who remembers
Who saw the fire burning down
To the embers
Who made this town fall down
In a moment
You're the only one who knows
What my words meant
You're the only one who knows
Where my soul went
You're the only one
Who saw my face clearly
The only person in the world
That could see me
The only person in the world
Who could free me.

Patriarch
Bodies age,
But memories grow stronger
And even stories untold
Live on in the hearts
And in the minds
Of those who came after.
What we are,
We would not be without you.
And we might not say,
But know we think about you,
And are grateful for the family that you gave us,
And we all know
That you're the one that made us.
Sit back now and enjoy the night before you,
Surrounded by your family who adore you.
But memories grow stronger

And are grateful for the family that you gave us,
And we all know
That you're the one that made us.
Sit back now and enjoy the night before you,
Surrounded by your family who adore you.
The World We Saw
You said the fire went out
And I thought about the games
In the rain
Behind your house
When we were younger
And all the times
We laughed at people
Who couldn't understand
The world we saw
That now you see no longer
And I thought about the games

Behind your house
When we were younger
And all the times

Spring
In the spring
The heart sings
A new song
And all the cold of winter
Thaws
And you feel
More
Things you never felt before
Or just forgot
And as the sun slowly warms the earth
You find your own rebirth
And find the worth within the world
And the planet turns toward the sun
And all you want to do is run
And feel the fire from up above
Spreading colour
Spreading love.

Streaming Feelings/Dreaming
It feels like a dream to me
The bit where we went flying
Over fields
And meadows and moors and
More
So much more
Than I remember in the morning.
I held your hand at sundown
And the town had never looked
So good
As when I saw your face
Reflected in the windows
Of the stores.
I wanted more
But dreams aren't built to last
And when I'm awake
They fade so fast
And you were just who I wanted
But you were not who you are.

Haunted
Haunted by ghosts
On every corner
On every bend in the road of my mind
The things I find
I found I couldn't leave behind
And I went blind
And I couldn't see
The path ahead
And you're still dead
And waking is the hardest thing
Cos awake I cannot hear you sing.
