Sending Stones
02:54

Small, sea-washed stones
Some we had taken home
Others we had skimmed across the water
Four months alone
Since I wouldn't leave the coast
And you couldn't stay
A moment longer
Here are a few stones
Gathered from the shore today
Use them as your paperweights
Best wishes

Another Year
02:49
|
|||
Why do I not think of the others
I only know that I don't
Why do I return to your image
I know I'm grasping at straws
A year to wish and then fritter
Away to the end
See you again when it's winter
And we all come home

You Are Ours
05:08
|

Here you are, barely an hour old
And you have your mother's eyes, you lucky child
You are ours and we will raise you well
No, there is nothing to be afraid of
You are ours and we will raise you right
We will feed you, we will tuck you in at night
And if you should wake and start to cry
I will sing to you the sweetest lullaby
|

Out on the water
See how the light gently shimmers
So very quiet
No one around, like in winter
Gather your wishes
We have a sky full of stars
My only wish is
To lie in your arms every morning

No Other
03:25
|
|||
What we said and what I have written
May it be a lasting inscription
No other
No other one
What we know and need to remember
All around us are living shadows
No other
No other one

Cold Hands
03:50
|
|||
What's wrong with your hands
So cold to the touch
Come into the warm
Rest your tired bones
Let's sleep in each other's arms
And be warm all winter long
What's wrong with your hands
Still cold to the touch
If I can't keep them warm
What good am I
Let's sleep in each other's arms
And be warm all winter long
Sleeping in each other's arms
To be warm all winter long

No Words
02:56
|
|||
And do we see now
Do we see what we've done
See how we've failed
Every daughter and son
No words, no measures
Can bring any comfort
Once your land's a desert
Once your cities have sunk
Open the borders
And let those in need come
All that we've taken
Is for everyone
No words, no endeavour
Can come anywhere close
Now we must all together
Face whatever may come
And do we see now
Do we see what we've done

Little River
04:22
|
|||
Soft and sweet
Is the breeze
And so green
Is the river
Let me be
Yours to keep
Like a ring
On your finger
