Whole Heart 03:31
There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m pushing inwards and outwards To stitch it up There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m gonna reach in And collect up my blood There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m pushing inwards and outwards To stitch it up There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m gonna reach in And collect up my blood Just one prick And I have found my way through To an underpass Connecting tunnels to you Hearts have opened Now my finger’s on the needle There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m pushing inwards and outwards To stitch it up There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m gonna reach in And collect up my blood I’ve a whole, whole heart Cross stitch Close up my heart There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m pushing inwards and outwards To stitch it up There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m gonna reach in And collect up my blood Just one prick And I have found my way through To an underpass Connecting tunnels to you Hearts have opened Now my finger’s on the needle There’s a hole in my heart There’s a hole in my heart And I’m pushing inwards and outwards To stitch it up There’s a hole in my heart I’ve a whole heart And I’m gonna reach in And collect up my blood

Like Royalty 04:22
Waiting in the spaces Of the place we used to know Keeping us in t-shirts And the unfamiliar Postcodes and district lines I do remember Work on the hours On the other side Brother, brother Oh won’t you come with me? Down into the river That feeds into the deep We’ll build fishing nets That we cast into the seas And we’ll throw them all back Oh sister, won’t you come with me? We’ll place castings Round our little apple trees And we know that when we leave They’ll follow us Like royalty Waiting in the spaces Of the place we used to know Keeping us in t-shirts And the unfamiliar Postcodes and district lines I do remember Work on the hours On the other side Brother, sister, won’t you come with me? We’ll place castings Round our little apple trees And we know that when we leave They’ll follow us Like royalty Like royalty

Birds 04:27
We see tired wings Flowing to song And we aim To float in with the fields There are times past Open to seed Then there’s the aftermath Now the light Crinkles under the sun And we’re left Gazing out by the beads We see bodies and ash As they mess with the gravity That’s our return Our return That’s our return Sleep under the earth And the birds They wait Wait just for me Out with the everbeings Now the light Crinkles under the sun And we’re left Gazing out by the beads We see bodies and ash As they mess with the gravity That’s our return

I’ll sing you a dawn song I’ll sing you a love song Let’s go to bed my love And wake up in the spring Let’s wake To the hunting season Let’s wake You’re the find and the reason I’ll sing you a dawn song I’ll sing you a love song Lover, I can’t keep love down It comes up Let’s wake To the hunting season Let’s wake You’re the find and the reason Find and the reason Find and the reason Find and the reason Find and the reason Find and the reason You’re the find and the reason Find and the reason You’re the find and the reason Lover, I can’t keep love down It comes up

Sing a song for lovers Sing a song Sing a song for lovers As they get lost Out in the fog Out in the forest See her On bended knees In the blossoms Writing on windows And inky black stones Flashes of white In the dark morning light Held her cheeks Her steady strong gaze Has held us all And we hoped to stay Sing a song for lovers Sing a song Sing a song for lovers As they find their peace Underneath their fears Underneath their fears See him Kneel by the side Of the loved one Bounded, unbroken Untouchable plans He will rebuild What was lost in the kiln Of his maker His steady kind hands Have touched us all By this light By this light Sing a song for lovers Sing a song Sing a song for lovers As they get lost Out in the fog Out in the forest

Lady 06:32
Lady, lady, lady Who waits upon your hip? Lady, lady, lady What ancient wall is this? That echoes salt and crystal I must mend the holy So wash my waist with spoken oil And faith Lady, lady, lady Who waits upon your feet? Lady, lady, lady What peril heard of this? That equals hiss and softer thighs And damned county That wends into your darling eye And pressed Oh lady, lady, lady I couldn’t confess Fine lady, lady, ladies Could not comparest We plucked the roots And found it there Beneath the tresses Now come again And say we meant it Oh lady, lady, lady What darkened hour is this? Lady, lady, lady I’ve wandererdest It brings me to my troubled site In forest thickest We wrote it in the little lines

Acceptance 04:34
Come with me Acceptance I’m honoured to be Here with you Acceptance Acceptance Take this seat Acceptance The wind’s in the boughs Ripping through the extraordinary Acceptance And will you wait Acceptance? I’ve washed my hands There’s barely any spots left on this soul Acceptance When you see me in the end And the soil’s under my tongue It’s given to me Out by the ever-changing oceans Oh acceptance Acceptance

Undertow 04:40
People come And people go Lose them down In the undertow We’ve got simple things At the end of strings Down there Ease them out Or leave them down They won’t drown If you send them out Just let them go Let them go Let them go People come And people go Lose them down In the undertow We’re got simple things We leave sweeter things Down there Ease them out Or leave them down They won’t drown If you send them out Just let them go Let them go Let them go

Sleep, oh sleep Oh little child Sleep, oh sleep Oh little one Down in the deep Where the rocks and the ash Are all covered with sea You’ll rest there in peace Until they bring you up To me Sleep, oh sleep Oh little child Sleep, oh sleep Oh little one Out with the trees That are clinging to the cliffs In the dark mountain air All curled up in bed With the kings beside Your head Sleep, oh sleep Oh little child Sleep, oh sleep Oh little one Down in the deep Where the rocks and the ash Are all covered with sea You’ll rest there in peace Until they bring you up Until they bring you up Until they bring you up To me
