Heather 04:48
Heather where are you my dear? Your absence fills my heart with fear You said that the hills felt like your home Is it you that they now do own? (Chorus) And the sun moves around And the sun moves around in the sky From the winds and the tides to the hills the climb so high Your mother sets a table for three even though there's only her and me Won't you now show yourself as living proof? Then death may not ring with the truth (Chorus) Close your eyes you should sleep till noon As they search Thorngrafton soon How can I cope without you around? How can I cry with nothing found? Maybe you were right; this was never your home You had to be all on your own (Chorus)

Prospects 02:57
Scrolling down a boring list with nothing to say Seems all my friends will take anything for pay They all tell me "It has to be done" Why can't I do something that is fun? Is it wrong of me? A crime to break free? Someone tell me please! (Chorus) Nothing in my life will make me feel blue Make me feel down Make me feel doubt about it I won't be phased by things that go wrong I will be strong Have courage to carry on And yet it bothers me where do I turn? What happens to me after uni where I learn? Do I stay on and do a postgrad? Taking a risk and spend the money I have? It may not be clear but I will never fear I will see it through (Chorus)

Lotty 02:59
Lotty you whistle on your way Sunshine has cleared the rain away For you can breathe the air and think without a care Stepping through each open door Listen to that blue sky calling in you open mind Is a secret you have to find? What kind of pie would you like to try in your short life? Oh Lotty please do tell Then I will tell you as well Lotty you said today Thinking your life won't delay You know how it's real and you know how you feel It's time to see the world out there It's time to see the world out there
10.
Because of what it was When threw back your duvet Eyes burning bright I couldn't turn away But eclipse of the stars in a darkened room Like death itself in the family tomb I needed you the most that what I've said But you destroyed yourself when you were lying in bed Because of what it was the rooms you laughed within wandering hands caressing someone's skin And thoughts that improvised a tearful story Love like a lie deceit in all its glory I trusted you the most that's what I've said but you destroyed yourself when you were lying in bed And you had once said to me "Sleeping is an easy feat" Though thoughts meant to interpret dreaming on your feet And you had once said to me "Dreams are not reality" Though premonitions tell me showing your morality Because of what it was when dawn came at end of day Shepherd's red sky warning came too late to stop your play My heart weighs empty and turmoil has slain I want to wake up but pinching is pain I loved you the most that's what I've said But you destroyed yourself when you were lying in bed

In Your Sky 03:18
Please see me through Think me anew In all that I do I'm not always a righteous man You know how it all began (Chorus) Let me live Let me lie Let me fall deep in your sky Father tell me too will I do? Can I be like you? I'm not always a righteous man You know how it all began (Chorus) Let me live Let me lie Let me fall deep in your sky Deep in your sky
