Avalanche

Lyrics :
It’s been a long old slog camp to camp
We are a knackered pack of dogs, how we pant
Had we listened closely enough – avalanche!
It’s been a long old slog to only crash
Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber
Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber
We never made it up the Old Man of Coniston
I could agonise over every wrong, but why bother?
Where is the ego lodged this far from camp?
Gazing into a bog so dark and dank
Did we labour nearly enough on our plot of land?
Thickening paste of fog on our gallivant
Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber
Through and through, through and through we two
Through and through, through and through we clamber
We never made it up the Old Man of Coniston
I could agonise over every wrong, but why bother?
We never made it up the Old Man of Coniston
I could agonise over every wrong, but why bother?

The Keeper
03:30
|

I ask the keeper of my dreams to let it be
To stand guard at the gate and if need be awaken me
Feel the need to control where it’s not my place
But the lines are a little blurry
I’m no believer in my dreams
They are only high mind pictures
A low achiever in my harsh eyes
A loner on a tincture
Feel the need to resolve where it’s not my place
But sometimes the lines are a little blurry
I am no believer, I am no believer
I am no believer, I am no believer
I’ll go to the keeper, I’ll go to the keeper
I’ll go to the keeper, I’ll go to the keeper
I am no believer, I am no believer
I am no believer, I am no believer
I’ll go to the keeper, I’ll go to the keeper
I’ll go to the keeper, I’ll go to the keeper

LYRICS
Paper white bark, paper white bark
I’m stretched out on the road, stretched out on the road
A draw in the dark, you draw me so stark
I’m stretched out on the road, stretched out on the road
Can I reach you this time?
Can I reach you this time?
Each time that I go to swim
I feel the letting go of pins
Each time my mind clattering
I feel a heavy weight go sailing
Can I reach you this time?
Can I reach you this time?
Branches blow
Move us along
In the night glow
Losing your song
Branches blow
Move us along
In the night glow
Losing your song
Paper white bark, paper white bark
I’m stretched out on the road

Sacred Practice

|

LYRICS:
What was tiring and boring
Now seems like a sacred practice
Hail came hammering and pouring
Shone a light on long old nights of patience practice
The sun is high and mighty
We see you walk away
Tired and worn out
Wasn’t to be our day
Tree no longer bearing fruit yet
I’m still waiting
For the dull yet mighty thudding
So lazy and dead-legged
Too busy dreaming, missed the harvest
Stayed home with my empty basket
The sun is high and mighty
We see you walk away
Tired and worn out
Wasn’t to be our day
The sun is high and mighty
We see you walk away
Tired and worn out
Wasn’t to be our day

Hammer The Iceberg

LYRICS:
We call on a new day
To keep the settling of dust and debris away
We find it harder to say
What’s rattling around in the attic
Who’s at play
Call on the doctor one too many a time
Hammer the iceberg
Keep your breathing in line
We fall on the blue hay
Smothered up so tightly in plastic
Ice cubes to soothe the day
We find it harder to play
But up here in the attic
The badminton rackets will green our ways
Skating fast, the island
Seasons mask the island
Fibreglass, the island
Frozen clasp, the island
Under the tip of the icicle
Can make decisions too difficult
Out go the herd to a new pasture
In comes another from further ago
White noise of mosquito
So many words that stutter and clutter
A need to be slow
The blue butterfly has shown
They’re out there with their nets and binoculars
Trying to find her back home
Skating fast, the island
Seasons mask the island
Fibreglass, the island
Frozen clasp, the island
Skating fast, the island
