CHORUS:
Cheer up my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
VERSE 1:
It's getting late.
When I woke up in the middle of night,
Well, You where wide awake,
Dreading the dawn of another day...
But girl, I promise...
That by tomorrow...
I wont let not a thing stand in your way...
And lets say you see the day when your falling of the tracks...
Feeling hated, degraded, I'm here to bring your back, oh...
And lets say, pretty girl, that no one can hold me back...
I'm created to take this weight of your back, oh...
CHORUS:
Cheer up my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
VERSE 2:
Now, I know times are getting hard again...
But I will be your guardian...
My weapon is guitar and pen, your my paper, carve it in...
With all my might, I'll give it out...
Coz I wont see you giving in...
Your lining in my lyrics book tonight...
You've got me scribbling...
It's deep within the night and yet your eyes are wide awakening...
When i look deep inside, I see a troubled girl living within...
I know you say your fine but i can see right through your toughened skin...
I read you like a book but I'll re-write you with a happy end...
I see you toss and turn until your burning up the bed linen and shedding all the sheets because your hot but then your cold again...
Your leg is out, your leg is in...
Your out of bed, your in again...
Just let your troubles go and I'll take over...
Throw them to the wind...
Just go to sleep and take a break...
I'm here to hug you when you wake and kiss you on the cheek and say I love your every other way...
Together we can take the day like Tyson on a feather weight...
I'll never let you suffer...
Always here to cheer you up, hey...
CHORUS:
Cheer up my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,
Sweet Dreams my little sleep deprived girl, (Go to sleep)
Leave your troubles with me,

The Tide
02:12
|
|||
I see the tide coming in a going out...
The moon comes up and the sun goes down and I'm still here...
Just walking around...
Your all I'm thinking about and nothing seems clear... (X 2)

Sun Rise
04:23
|
|||
VERSE 1:
I wake up Sunday at 1pm...
Last nights club stamp still stained on my hand...
My head is aching and my eyes are red...
Pain killers to stop the stampede in my head...
Man, all my wages are gone...
I've barely got a penny left...
I'm trying to work it out, will I go far...
Trying to make a living off of this guitar...
I live from a tip glass at my local bar...
Just a local star with this old guitar...
Then I'm back within these four walls...
Wide awake and I watch time crawl...
CHORUS:
Coz, I'll be here until after dark...
And I can't wait for the Sun Rise again...
So I can try again...
To figure out where I belong...
VERSE 2:
I'm sitting here waisted on whiskey and wine...
Guitars and a deck of cards just to pass the time...
A couple friends, satisfied with their nine to five's...
Wage is minimum... That's not where I belong...
I don't know what I'm looking for...
I'm searching for something...
Spent years on this mic and I wont waist it for nothing...
And once again I can hear the rain...
Tap, tapping S.O.S on my window pain...
This time last year I was just the same...
And here we go again... nothing's ever changed...
I'm trying to fight struggle just to move along...
Time starts to fly, like where's the days gone...
CHORUS:
Coz, I'll be here until after dark...
And I can't wait for the Sun Rise again...
So I can try again...
To figure out where I belong...
VERSE 3:
I feel like I'm failing...
In time I'll fall...
Man, I don't feel quite right at all...
My pen In hand...
Guitar on my knee...
And then I fall asleep to live a realer dream...
Street lights form shadows across my walls...
Seems like the only light I'll see...
But I'm just a bird...
Trying to fly...
Trying to get used to my wings...
I'm just a sailor on the ocean...
Trying to get used to high winds...
And am I failing now? Failing now...
CHORUS:
Coz, I'll be here until after dark...
And I can't wait for the Sun Rise again...
So I can try again...
To figure out where I belong...

The Falling
03:08
|
|||
Last night I dreamt of the falling of a tree...
I seen mountains crumble to the sea...
I seen rivers lying empty and stone...
An the lakes dried up to the bone...
I seen fire spreading over the land...
And I seen vessels sinking to the sand...
And I seen birds that would never fly...
I'm pretty sure I seen an air-plane falling strait out of the sky...
I seen the ground steady shaking beneath us...
And one day those cracks I the ground will eat us...
And if we don't listen to them wise words they teach us...
That tidal wave will eventually reach us...
Life's a gift but we ruin what's left of this world...
And if we die, its only what we deserve...

She's Sailing
03:47
|
|||
VERSE 1:
I got feelings running through my head...
Its got my soul falling to bits...
From the things I wished I'd said...
That I couldn't get by my lips...
Can't believe that I've failed...
Cant believe I let it come to this...
Now its clear her ship has sailed...
Ain't no room left on her decks...
CHORUS:
And she's sailing...
Oh, she's sailing away...
She's sailing...
And left me stranded on this bay...
She's sailing...
Oh, she's sailing away...
She's sailing...
And left me stranded on this bay.
VERSE 2:
Now, as I build my ship with hope...
I don't know if I can keep it afloat...
My heart will be my sail...
How can I go if my sail is broke?...
I got failure on my tail...
With the guns set and ready to blow...
Now I'm drowning in my pain...
That cannon ball just got too close
CHORUS:
And I'm failing...
As she's sailing away...
She's sailing...
And left me stranded on this bay...
She's sailing...
Oh, she's sailing away...
She's sailing...
And left me stranded on this bay.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
CHORUS:
She's sailing...
Oh, she's sailing away...
She's sailing...
And left me stranded on this bay...
She's sailing...
Oh, she's sailing away...
She's sailing...
And left me stranded on this bay.

Brick & Stone
03:28
|
|||
Lying here in my dreams...
All I see is diamond rings a gold...
In a house of brick and stone...
And I don't want to wake up now...
To wake up in this dusty old door way alone...
With cobbles to call my home...
Concrete will remain my seat...
Til I can finally find my feat...
Begging strangers for my right to eat...
But I don't need your help...
I can do this on my own...
Coz I'm a soldier...
And soldiers walk on...
And all alone I walk this road and the road just seems so long...
But who knows...
Maybe this road will find me a home...
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Passers by...
They just see a ghost...
Sometimes I wonder, do they really even see me at all?...
Or just these boots full of holes...
And I don't know how I got in this mess...
Must be unlucky coz I damn sure ain't blesses,
All I know is I'm hungry and I'm cold...

OUTRO

They say I'm lying to myself...
God, You've gotta stop living in fairy land...
Your going nowhere...
Get your feet on the ground and stop messing around....
Stop messing around...
They say I'm lying to myself...
Coz the clocks never gonna stop ticking and...
Your growing older...
