I have dreams of you
As the morning sky turns blue

As the morning sky turns blue

The Robotanist

Doesn’t take much to impress me
But you did
Doesn’t take much to depress me
Sometimes I am
Doesn’t take much to love me
Sometimes I love myself
Doesn’t take much to hold me
I’m glad that you did
I hit the space bar and nothing happened
Gravity’s still weighing me down
Still weighing me down
Doesn’t take much to light me up
But you did
Doesn’t take much to scare me
Sometimes I am
Doesn’t take much to move me
Sometimes I move myself
Doesn’t take much to hold me
I’m glad that you did
I hit the space bar and nothing happened
Gravity’s still weighing me down
Still weighing me down
Still weighing me down
Doesn’t take too much time to plant some flowers
But we did
Doesn’t take too much time to unleash our powers
But we will
There’s just too much nonsense getting too much attention
There’s just too much nonsense getting too much attention
I hit the space bar and nothing happened
Gravity’s still weighing me down
I hit the space bar and nothing happened
Gravity’s still weighing me down
Still weighing me down
Still weighing me down
Still weighing me down

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time babe
There was plenty of time
And now
Now I know I’m looking for a rhyme
And I know I should go outside
And I know I should go outside
The sun goes down
On any old sleepy town
I know I’m not alone
And I feel right at home
Waiting for you
I’ll be waiting for you
Not all things are forever
This is once in a lifetime
Not all things are forever
This is once in a lifetime
And still I dream
In the summer night
And I know I should go outside
To catch the moon before it falls
To catch the moon before it falls
Not all things are forever
This is once in a lifetime
Not all things are forever
This is once in a lifetime
Once upon a time babe
There was plenty of time
And now
Now I find I’m looking for a rhyme
And I know I should go outside
And I know I should go outside
To catch the moon before it falls
To catch the moon before it falls

I Could Write A World
04:08
|
|||
|
Woke up Sunday morning
Everything I knew was wrong
So I slept till Tuesday morning
Got up and wrote this song
It’s time to see the world
In all its vibrant colours
It’s time to feel the sun
Warming up my face
Instead
Of these cold cold nights
I know
I’m about to get it right
I could write a world for you
The wind is rattling my window
There’s pictures on the mantle
Of birds that flew away
Snow caps on the mountain
Start to disappear
It’s time to feel the sun
Warming up my face
Instead
Of these cold cold nights
I know
I’m about to get it right
Woke up Sunday morning
Everything I knew was gone
So I slept till Tuesday morning
Got up and found this song
Talked to the yellow table
Said it was confused
It’s time to feel the sun
Warming up our place
Instead
Of these cold cold nights
I know
I’m about to get it right
I know
I’m about to get it right
I know
I’m about to get it right

Ghost Girl of Ireland

|

|
And as the feelings changed
The songs remained the same
Sometimes I’m a mystery
Sometimes I’m feeling plain
Not the man I used to be
I’m the man I want to be
I’ve fallen down and I got back up again
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Now it would seem I’m caught somewhere in between
The end of one day and the start of another
Don’t care if the sun is shining
Or if the sky is grey
Waking up next to you
On a brand new day
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Here I go again
Into the blue again
There you go again
Into my dreams
Here I go again
Into the blue again
There you go again
Into my dream
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
I was so far from where I wanted to be
Thought about returning to the emerald sea
I’ve been in love yeah I’ve been alone
I’ve soared like a dove
I sank like a stone
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl
Ghost girl

View From Space
03:29
|
|||
|
I always wanted to be a cat on a windowsill
For that hour and a half of sun
Will remove the chill
It’s a winter’s day outside outside
And I just can’t quite get comfortable
Cause I haven’t seen the earth for a long time
But I’ve been to every sunrise
Now I see the earth in its colours
Flowers bloom in winter
Flowers bloom in winter
I always wanted to be a dryer vent in winter
Sending out that warm fresh springtime scent
Saying to the world welcome home welcome home
Would you sing a song with me
Cause I haven’t seen the earth in a long time
But I’ve been to every sunrise
Now I see the earth in its colours
Flowers bloom in winter
Flowers bloom in winter
I always wanted to be a marshmallow
Sitting pretty in that warm hot chocolate glow
Warming up your rosy cheeks and your cold hands
I see you reflected in the surface
Cause I haven’t seen the earth in a long time
But I’ve been to every sunrise
Now I see the earth in its colours
Flowers bloom in winter
Flowers bloom in winter
A flower blooms in winter

Confidence in Sunshine
03:31
|

|
Sometimes
Dreams fall from the sky
Sometimes
I try I try
To Find
Confidence in sunshine
I’m defined
By confidence in sunshine
Sometimes
I get trapped in my mind
Sometimes
I find I find
Confidence in sunshine
I’m defined
By confidence in sunshine
Where did it go
Where did it go
Sometimes
I drive
Watch the stars
Fade from the sky
To find
Confidence in sunshine
I’m defined
By confidence in sunshine

|
I have dreams of you
As the morning sky turns blue
I have dreams of you
As the morning sky turns blue
Mountains by our side
I travel in my mind
To find the perfect time
Our love is like the tide
I have dreams of you
As the morning sky turns blue
I have dreams of you
As the morning sky turns blue
I have dreams of you
As the morning sky turns blue

My Ocean Girl

|
Where does the time go
From a first kiss to right now
Where does the time go
From a first kiss to right now
Years glide by as we race through the sky
Love in your eyes as we say goodnight
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
Oh won’t you be
My ocean girl
Oh won’t you be
My ocean pearl
Let’s sail away in the dark of night
To the place where the ocean meets the sky
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
Oh won’t you be
My ocean girl
Oh won’t you be
My ocean girl
Years glide by as we race through the sky
The love in your eyes as we say goodnight
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
My ocean girl
I know I know I know
My ocean girl

Five Part Heart
02:34
|
|||
|
Well I have a big heart
I bought it at the dollar store
It took me a while to save up
It came in five individual plastic parts
My five part heart has so much love to give
Hold it in your hand and you’ll know
My five part heart doesn’t love lazily
But it breaks so easily
But it breaks so easily
Five part heart helps me sing
It helps me appreciate all of the little things
My five part heart sure can hurt
For a plastic heart it sure can ache
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
I’d share my heart with you any day
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
I’d share my heart with you any day
My five part heart has so much love to give
Hold it in your hand and you’ll know
My five part heart doesn’t love lazily
But it breaks so easily
But it breaks so easily
But it breaks so easily
It breaks so easily
Breaks so easily
