2.Whispers in the Dark
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=ZLCgb1QNIOQ
You hold your truth so purely
Swerve not through the minds of men
This lie, it is dead
And this cup of yours tastes holy
A brush with the devil can clear your mind
And strengthen your spine
But fingers tap into what you were once
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
Whispers in the dark
Steal a kiss and you'll break a heart
Pick up your clothes and curl your toes
Learn your lesson, lead me home
Spare my sins for the ark
I was to slow to depart
I'm a cad but I'm not a flawed
I set out to serve the Lord.
But my heart
Was colder when you'd gone
I lost my head
But found the one that I loved
Under the sun
Under the sun
But fingers tap into what you were once
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
But fingers tap into what you were once
And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
But my heart
Was colder when you'd gone
I lost my head
But still, while we are young
While we are young
While we are young
While we are young
3.I Will Wait
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=0kS8RTRi7HA
And I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess
But I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
So I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies
But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow
Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
4.Holland Road (Home)
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=-8P6U_80r7Y
I ran away in floods of shame
I'll never tell how close I came
As I cross the Holland road
You went left and I went right
As the moon hung proud and white
You would of loved it here tonight
Spin me round just to pin me down
On the cover of this strange bed
Spin me round just to pin me down
Roll out your questions keep them down
Let the water lead us home
And I was sorry for what I'd done
You were young I was not old
But our story was not told
But torn apart by greedy hands
Spin me round just to pin me down
On the cover of this strange bed
Spin me round just to pin me down
Spin me round just to pin me down
I'll be gone by the nights end
Spin me round just to pin me down
But I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
But I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
But I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
But I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
5.Ghosts that we Knew
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=D6-EUSvJchI
You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no crack in my heart
And you kneel beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
And we will live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we will be alright
So lead me back, turn south from that place
And close my eyes from my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
We will share my all
Now children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we will be alright
But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we will be alright
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
And we will live a long life
6.Lover of the Light
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=YzZ0OIjHbUI
And in the middle of the night
I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength
of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade
of the shadows thrown
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine
Stretch out my life
and pick the seams out
Take what you like
but close my ears and eyes
Watch me crumble over and over
I have done wrong
so build your tower
But call me home
and I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
Skin too tight
and eyes like marbles
You spin me high
so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward
I know I tried
I was not stable
Flawed by pride
I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up, breathe in, breathe out
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
And in the middle of the night
I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength
of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade
of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises
of the change I'll show
But I'll be yours if you'll be mine
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
7.Lovers' Eyes
Chords to: http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=duuALhoygD8
Love was kind, for a time
Now just aches and it makes me blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
I can't see the others in my life
Were we too young? And heads too strong?
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes.
'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Neath the curse of these lover's eyes.
But do not ask the price I pay,
I must live with my quiet rage,
Tame the ghosts in my head,
That run wild and wish me dead.
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Oh, let me die where I lie
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.
There's no drink nor drug I tried
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
And I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Your strength just makes me feel less strong
But do not ask the price I pay,
I must live with my quiet rage,
Tame the ghosts in my head,
That run wild and wish me dead.
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Oh, let me die where I lie
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, help me on my way.
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way.
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, help me on my way.
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way.
8.Reminder
9.Hopeless Wanderer
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=zjZSzORlYoM
Hear my voice, I came out of the woods by choice
Shelter also gave their shade
And in the dark I have no name
So leave that click in my head
And I will remember the words that you said
Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart
But I am sure we'll see a new start
So when your hopes on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road
I wrestled long with my youth
I tried so hard to live in the truth
But do not tell me what is right
When I lose my head, I lose my spine
So leave that click in my head
And I will remember the words that you said
You brought me out from the cold
Now, how I long, how I long to grow old
So when your hopes on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
Cuz I'm a hopeless wanderer
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
Cuz I'm a hopeless wanderer
I will learn, I will learn
to love the sky I wander
I will learn, I will learn
to love the sky I wander
The sky I wander
10.Broken Crown (Not finished yet but here is lyrics + chorus and bridge chords)
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home safe and tucked away
Well you can't tempt me
If I don't see the day
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breath to breath a lie
Cause when I open my body I breath a lie
I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all short
But oh my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
So hold my hand consign me not to darkness
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the rope and threw it all away
This twilight how dare you speak of grace
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the rope and threw it all away
This twilight how dare you speak of grace
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the rope and threw it all away
In his twilight are choices seal our fate
11.Below my Feet
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=FHnGJvYmQKg
You were cold as the blood through your bones
And the light which led us from our chosen homes
Oh, I was lost.
So now I sleep
Sleep the hours that I don't weep
And all I knew was steeped in blackened holes
Oh, I was lost
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve
My hands to learn
Well I was still
But I was under your spell
But I was told by Jesus
All was well
So all must be well
Just give me time
You know your desires and mine
So wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine
For I must be well
KEm C G D
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve
My hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve
my hands to learn
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve
My hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve
my hands to learn
12.Not with Haste
13.For those Below
14.The Boxer
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=sQpUs1qNxMM
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la lie
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home
Lie la lie ...
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la lie
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
15.Where are You Now?
Chords to:http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=eqs98atWIe0
It came to the end it seems you had heard
Cause we walked the city streets,
You never said a word
When we finally sat down,
Your eyes were full of spite
I was desperate, I was weak,
I could not put up a fight
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
You were strangely less than pain
Than you were cold
Triumphant in your mind
Of the logic that you hold.
You said no one would ever know
The love that we had shared
As I took my leave to go
It was clear that you didn't care.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
And I hear of your coming
and your going in the town.
I hear stories of your smile,
I hear stories of your frown.
You said no one would ever know
The love that we had shared
As I took my leave to go
It was clear that you didn't care.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
