Horizon 02:40
Horizon Why these cloudy eyes my friend, these thoughtful frowning brows I’m afraid to lose again what’s only just been found Why is everybody so sad I ask and look at you Just don’t forget what you love, you say, it is the only truth Then you point at the horizon, that’s where we belong Face towards a line that draws a promise to move on for Cause we are the hopeful ones we are destined to see The beauty of what is now and what is still to be Will you always remind me of how to sing out loud I can hardly hear my heartbeat now, muted by the old doubts Oh say all’s not lost there’s a place for us of sea breeze, fires and trees There is kindness and there’s friends around And music, always music Do you see the horizon, that’s where we belong Face towards a line that draws a promise to move on for Cause we are the hopeful ones we are destined to see The beauty of what is now and what is still to be.

Footsteps 02:40
Footsteps I never meant to wait for you To listen for your footsteps on the floor The moment you came back I never meant to fall around your neck But oh my arms don’t belong to me no more I never meant to smile at these blue eyes like this Reach out for your hair, let my fingers run through And though I was alarmed to feel so comfortable in your arms I couldn’t move an inch away from you Cause I have never breathed so calm in years Can’t remember the last time I laughed so loud And I had not planned to miss you in the end But then plans are never meant for working out And it’s no use to mention what was never my intention And there’s no use to try, to turn back and deny Even if the last thing I meant to do is falling for…

Into the Woods Stretch your arms out and reach For the world above your head and down your at your feet We have seen and felt so much Now all is green and all is quietly breathing touch Walk with me into the woods Back to something simple, something good And make me think a little bit less In the sheltered space between us I can rest And forget what happens around us while we’re here Plunge backwards into the river Let the clear current wash it out and take it down the mountain Leaving cold water tingling on our skin Walk with me into the woods Back to something simple, something good And make me care a little bit less In the sheltered space between us I can rest Over roots and moss and stones our steps are quick and light Deep inside we make a hut our home Share the silence, share a smile, a place for us to hide And ground where we can grow Stretch your arms out and reach For the world above your head and down your at your feet We have seen and felt so much Now all is green and all is quietly breathing touch.

Autumn Come for Me I’m so tired I have to lie down and watch the clouds for a while now See them wandering slowly Indifferent to all I’ve been fighting for All the lives that I’ve led and the things that I loved and goodbyes that I’ve said and the joy and sadness upon your face And I welcome change and I try to be now But sometimes I still wonder how To grow old Autumn come for me, I’m waiting by your door Give a fresh breeze to my glowing skin and hold Me in your worn out arms and gentle light Like grandmas hands, so soft and dark When I was a child and I didn’t find it so hard to let go Grandpa would hum along, in the kitchen to an old song Peeling pears and cracking nuts and preparing bread in little cuts for me I can hear him laugh and shake his head about something grandma said And she would wink at me over the table and I’d wink back Oh I guess that’s how you grow old Oh I guess that’s how you grow old

Sandpaperhands Deeper, deep into the soil I work my hands all day Densest grass, through winding roots and damp and heavy clay My fingers cut, skin roughened up, and all the structures fade I breathe the forest, rolling greens are running through my veins Deeper, deep into the sea you work your feet all day Coldest water, forceful winds against the rocky bay Your toes are cut, your soles are numb, and all the structures fade You breathe the ocean, rolling blues in the rhythm of the waves And when the night comes we’ll return to our house by the shore Sandpaperhands, sandpaperfeet will meet and feel once more I will cover you like autumn leaves and keep you warm You will hold me close as if you keep me from the storm And every night we will return to our house by the shore Sweetest soil and salty sea will meet and feel once more Fingertips and lips run through the scratches and the scars As we lie sheltered by the darkness and the stars.

about

Recorded on the road travelling in New Zealand, these songs speak of hope, that gives colour to everything, and the encounters along the way that make it all worthwhile.

Do you see the horizon?
That's where we belong.
Face towards a line that draws a promise to move on for.
