"Good Ghosts"
Dust gets up my nose
Moving all the boxes
Postcards they have fallen
Down behind the fridge
I’m supposed to be moving
But I find that I am losing
Myself in days gone by
I think I need go again
Forgotten words ignore
Proper syntax and structure
But that rush to write our memories
Is only making time for more…
Time spent in the world with you
Seeing the things those old books showed
Exploring things we’d never know
If we hadn’t met
These Good Ghosts
Make you wanna run away
But in a good way
The can haunt me any day
That paper full of stories
That picture in a frame
That song i wrote the other night
Are good ghosts that remain

"Midnight in the Afternoon"
Flew into Reyjavik, clouds paint the sky
Finally in a place where the sun won't go down at night
Followed a kick drum through the cobbled streets
Found some music when I should have been asleep
And now it's midnight in the afternoon
I'm gonna see you gonna see you soon
But first I got some things I wanna do
Sunset long after sleep begins
Curtains ineffectual sunlight pouring in like water
Over Gullfoss 'fall
One day I'll bring you here
Beyond the hills there's more sky to see
Whether it's night all day or day all night it's alright I know everything's gonna be alright

"Bones"
When all that's left are my bones
Pick 'em up and feel the life I owned
When all that's left are the pictures
Know the places I've been made me smile
When all that's left are the songs
Sing 'em along for a while, sing along for a little while
When all that's left are the memories
Know that I'm happy I had you all here with me

"The Lorne Song"
There's a wave out there sitting miles from the shore
It's only got one thing that it's coming into being for
Biding its time to be useful to someone
And the ocean air opens my mind
Thoughts rush in like water into footprints
Left on the beach by those who feel the same
Do you feel the same?
If the world was so bad
We would never have met
If the world was so bad
We would never have me
And there isn't any room for a pessimistic world view with a hole proof argument like that
There's a lighthouse on the cape
And it's warning all the boats to stay away
And the shipwrecks on the rocks
Could hardly outnumber all the words I mislaid
On the long and winding road
When you're driving for hours right next to the ocean
And the sea breeze blows hypotheses around my head

The Wave Will Break

"The Wave Will Break"
Petrichor emanates
Preoccupation dissipates
Clouds move away, sun invites
Melliflous melody, I need to write
Phosphenes they lead
My perspective to change
See the colours of the alpenglow
What do you need?
I'll make it so
All I want
All I want
All I want
Is to write you a song
Epiphanies in the city hum
They're different to where I'm from
But walking in the Ramble
Calms me down
Can you taste the salty air
Sitting pensive on your tongue
Wait, wait, the wave will break
And we can continue on
Wait, wait, the wave will break
And we can continue on...
