I want you to love
And be loved in return
To have what I've had
With happiness to burn
But these are tumultuous times
I want you to be safe
Grow up to be strong
Be ready for life
Singing alluring and adaptable songs
Tumultuous times - it's getting harder to believe
Tumultuous times - careful what you wish for
Tumultuous times - getting scared of the shadows
Tumultuous times
Sunday morning, everything is fine. Nothing is broken.
Runnin' around, skippin' around and laughing.
Sunday afternoon out on the Thames, a love left unspoken.
Rollin’ along, choppin’ through the waves.
I hope it stays with you forever
Beautiful boy
I want you to be safe

Look at you - all glammed up in blue again babe
It's what you do - turning heads again babe
And you just designed a house along the river
They all love that pool
And the Alfa and the villa in Ibiza
All your dreams come true…
Do you love me?
I mean really love me?
Or is our veneer finally wearing through?
Do you love me?
I mean I really love me?
Or is this our time?
Shall I say it ?
I don't love you
I know you more than care
That the dog's been on the chairs again babe
All that mud and hair
Aah I fail to see it babe
You're a matriarch, a motivated winner at all you do
They jump at invitations here for dinner
All that's true…
Do you love me?
I mean really love me?
Or is our veneer finally wearing through
Do you love me?
I mean really love me?
Or is this our time
To say I don’t love you.
Do you love me?
I mean really love me?
Or is our veneer finally wearing through
Do you love me?
I mean really love me babe?
Or is this our time?
Time to try something new?

Until The Next Sun Dies

Our greatest, our dearest, our brightest star
It's your podium now, until the next sun dies.
Our touchstone, our compass it's who you are.
Your turn now to be deified.
Until the next sun dies
So light up the podium and blind us all
It's Your turn now until the next sun dies.
We keep you to ourselves, we share your call.
Your turn now to be glorified
Until the next sun dies
The heightened hive decides immortals from the damned.
The Black Sea doesn't care,
To our terrifying end we take a final stand.
And cast your moonbeams to the dark dark tide.

All of us we sail we sail to you
All we have we cast into the blue
Take us in and and give us leave to stay
And see our hopes shine your way
An angry sea, north 33, east 13,
The swell so strong
We're so many souls, young and old
Who never wished you any wrong
Running from the fire, the bombs, the slaughter
Gambling with our lives, our sons and daughters sheltered in our arms, We drift towards our rescue or our death,
Hoping for a shore and somewhere safe for us to rest
All of us we sail we sail to you
All we have we cast into the blue
Take us in and and give us leave to stay
And see our hopes shine your way
44 survive, north 35, east 16
Adrift for days
We can see a light, coming closer, getting bright
Come on, please come to us I pray
I pray that very soon I'll stand beside you
The chaos and the war all far behind you
I'll hold you in my arms and celebrate the ones who got away
Far away from hell to live another day
All of us we sail we sail to you
All we have we cast into the blue
Take us in and and give us leave to stay
And see our hopes shine your way

Shrouded head to toe in blue
Borne here on the waves, you came
Pulling you ashore I see
Such fearful lonely eyes
Tortoise shell and diamond bright
And I'm in love.
All my life
Tried to do what's right
Then I saw you.
Hey Riham, is that your name?
You don't have to say right now.
God, you must be oh so tired.
Let me make you warm.
I know a quiet corner, come..
And maybe then
You will say your name
Then lower your veil
And I'll see you
Watch the moon rise over the sea
And those mercury waves that brought you to me
Lord alone knows all the horrors you've seen
But I will make you a promise right here
To keep you always safe from here on
Slowly now my island love,
Tell me why you're here alone.
Are you running from or running to?
Either way, help is close at hand
And I can be your hero now.
I am the one,
No need to travel on
All my life
For you.
For you.

You were a gift from the Grecian gods
If you wonder about your name.
It's a fine word and an instant choice from two believers
To send you on your way.
Close your weary eyes
Let the world fall away
I told you that I will move heaven your way
Resisting sleep, you hold on - I lie singing to you.
My innocent, beautiful Apollo, with your fingers in my hair.
Your twitching feet, say your gone
If I move I'll maybe I wake you again.
My motives, my life, all defined in your bed
You sleeping
Close your weary eyes
Let the world fall away
I told you that I will move heaven your way.
A word to the wise - wait for the blaze.
With your mother's eyes - and with a little luck
You'll fill your days with light and love
You were a gift from the Grecian gods

Dear Juno, in the days of your name
We're reeling, spinning round the bend.
If you know, if you can explain what's drawing her away
Please tell me.
She's leaving, oh, my butterfly,
Taken by the wind.
Juno you must know what's in her head
And I'm clawing for the answers
Juno, I beg you, help me.
Dear Juno, god of women, queen of Rome
Heaven knows I've tried to make it work here on my own.
From a lowly lowly man, you have it in your power.
Call her back,
Turn her around,
Help her remember better times.
Help me
Juno

You were loved, you were cheered, you were ours
You found a way, you held the key
You went without fear
You left that to me
Seven years, you were steel, you were fine
Gone to your god, healed and free
Forever dear
Forever stay with me.
Nunc cum Deo
Et in caelo
Spiritus astra
Yehovah - you tend her soul
She lived for you
She gave you it all
You are loved, in our hearts, in our tears
You found a way, you held the key
Forever dear
You will stay with me.
Nunc cum Deo
Et in caelo
Spiritus astra
Yehovah - you tend her soul
She lived for you
She gave you it all
You've sailed
And I miss you love
Our seraph, our angel.

Oh lord
Take me to your shore
Oh sweetness
Follow the light
Cast you moonbeams
To the swirling sea
Where forever
You'll be.
