LYRICS
V1
Draw the map and chart the course
Go by sea or go by horse
Either way will shed your tears
Scoffers mock in metaphors
Pointing fingers of remorse
What they doubt is what they fear
Strike the chisel to the stone
Hearts in cages made of bone
Dust will settle truth appears
Carry on and carry forth
Underway to other shores
You will greet the hemispheres
CH
Go oh whoa
You must go oh whoa
V2
To the point and don’t delay
Carry on along your way
Though the answers may be few
Cavalier the cavalcade
Hesitations will be made
Both of these are point of view
Ocean fury fighting waves
To the sand and over plains
In the canyon echoes feud
Through the mountain jagged cave
Close your eyes and carve your name
At least the one you thought you knew
CH
Go oh whoa
You must go oh whoa
Go oh whoa
You must go oh whoa
V3
Underneath your knuckles white
Clenching hands are creased with lines
Though they tremble you are bold
Seal the letters that you write
By the wind and candlelight
Still your words remain aglow
Turn your face and lift your eyes
To the patterns in the sky
Navigate the years of old
Understand that passing time
Travels forward and behind
Only moments can you hold
CH
Oh whoa oh
You must go oh whoa
Go oh whoa
You must go oh whoa

Dust and Ashes

LYRICS
V1
So I burned all the old days down
On a funeral pyre
And I stood with my arms stretched out
Like a pillar of fire of fire - of fire
In the coals of a wordless sound
I am here to inquire
I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
CH
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
V2
Well I carried it down to the sea
And I held it up higher
Yeah I fell on my bended knees
And I beckoned the tide - the tide
Oh take this away from me
On your fathoms of brine
‘Cause I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
CH
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
REFRAIN
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
V3
And when I looked in the depths of my hands
I could see I was blind
As the glow of the day now was wrapped
In a cloak of the night - the night
Now it seems all the answers I had
Are the hardest to find
And I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
I need to know tonight (tonight tonight)
CH
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside (2x)
REFRAIN
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Drop Your Guard

LYRICS
V1
I hear what you are saying
I’m just a little wary
Of how the words are carried
Behind your teeth
Malice in your translation
Replay the accusations
Until the final phrases
Cut like defeat - cut like defeat
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (2x)
V2
So often reenacted
Shadows of darkened habit
Tongue like a hidden dagger
Quick to release
Time now to pause and wonder
How we’ve been torn asunder
Long are the years and moments
Lost in between - lost in between
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (2x)
V3
Fury the fire that crumbles
All else reduced to rubble
Gather the poison plunder
Dead at our feet
One flame can flicker forth
Until it ignites a chorus
Destroy the spark that bore it
Ashes to dreams - ashes to dreams
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (4x)

Love and Misery

LYRICS
V1
Honey in my hand
I’d hold your heart if it weren’t for the sting
Honey in my hand
So it will be
Feel the wishbone bend
All the hidden marrow suddenly breaks
Feel the wishbone bend
So much it aches
CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both
V2
So who tied these knots
Bound up like thieves in the back of my mind
Who tied these knots
Around you and I
CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both (2x)
V3
And as the days turn dust
On all the fallen leaves all shining like gold
As the days turn dust
Will we grow old
This love is such
Sometimes I miss you more in my arms
This love is such
We fall apart
CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both (x2)

LYRICS
V1
I took a photograph
Of your hazel eyes
You tried so hard to hide
I promised not to laugh
And you promised twice
But we told each other lies
And with a faded map
Well we followed lines
Not sure just where or why
But after all of that
Oh searching blind
We knew our love was right
CH1
Every morning I wake up
You’re still shaking up my mind babe
Every morning a dream without a shape
Every night I take down
All the pictures in my mind babe
Every night I put them back in frames
Hey hey hey hey
V2
I took a photograph
Down by the sea
You tasted salty sweet
Under the waves and back
Well you moved so free
And I felt your quick heartbeat
The sun like shattered glass
It shone pure and clean
I felt you lying next to me
You put your face in my hand
I touched your cheek
How we were meant to be
CH2
Every morning I wake up
You’re still shaking up my mind babe
Every morning a dream without a shape
Every night I take down
All the pictures in my mind babe
Every night I put them back in frames
All the moments that fade
Well I’m just trying to rewind babe
All the moments I hold evaporate
I remember our faces
In those Polaroid white frames
I remember us laughing as we’d shake
I remember us laughing at our graves
Hey hey hey hey
V3
I took a photograph
Of you dancing wild
Distraction in your smile
Our bodies moving like that
Such a long long while
Felt like we were made of light
The satellites overhead
Were carving lines
Across the midnight sky
Kaleidoscope of our hands
Compressing time
We danced a thousand nights
B
And I remember all the moments
Whispering your name
And I can picture how you slowly
Turned to me to say
How you remember all the years
Like they were only days
And how you hope that all those memories
Never fade away
Hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
REFRAIN
All the moments
All the moments trying to rewind babe
All the moments evaporate
Yeah I remember
I remember Polaroid white frames
I remember laughing as we’d shake
I remember laughing at our graves
CH2
Every morning I wake up
You’re still shaking up my mind babe
Every morning a dream without a shape
Every night I take down
All the pictures in my mind babe
Every night I put them back in frames
All the moments that fade
Well I’m just trying to rewind babe
All the moments I hold evaporate
I remember our faces
In those Polaroid white frames
I remember us laughing as we’d shake
I remember us laughing at our graves

LYRICS
V1
Doe-eyed tongue-tied
You hid your thoughts inside
Folded bound tight
Those words refused to fly
So hard I tried
To hear your quiet mind
You told me that night
That you lost the will to try
CH
So far your heart can’t seem to cry
That farthest star feels like it died
So dark your heart can’t see the light
Well I’ll give you mine, I’ll give you mine tonight
V2
Dreaming so deep
Well you forgot to sleep
Breathing you keep
Those silent fears beneath
Shadowed mystery
You wonder what you need
Notebooks black ink
Filled up but incomplete
CH
So far your heart can’t seem to cry
That farthest star feels like it died
So dark your heart can’t see the light
Well I’ll give you mine, I’ll give you mine tonight - tonight
V3
I know you’ve lost hope
It faded like a ghost
And left you hollow
So broken and alone
Before you let go
I’d like to hold you close
Love weighs much more
And I think we’ve got enough
Yeah I think we’ve got enough
I think we’ve got enough
CH
So far your heart can’t seem to cry
That farthest star feels like it died
So dark your heart can’t see the light
Well I’ll give you mine, I’ll give you mine tonight - tonight
OUTRO
Ooh ooh ooh
And I’ll give you mine tonight
Ooh ooh ooh
Well I’ll give you mine tonight
Ooh ooh ooh
And I’ll give you mine tonight
Ooh ooh ooh
Well I’ll give you mine tonight

Love Your Ghost

LYRICS
V1
Right now I need you close
That’s all I really know I need
Your breath within my throat
I’ve borrowed and I hold it deep
V2
We share a lifetime
Bound up and intertwined yet free
I’m yours and you are mine
Like lungs keeping time we breathe
CH
Don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever go - I need you close
Well if you leave me
Then I’ll just love your ghost
I will love your ghost
V3
I’m reaching in the dark
Blind hands can find your heart beneath
Tonight can come apart
I break but here you are with me
CH
Don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever go - I need you close
Well if you leave me
Then I’ll just love your ghost
I will love your ghost
Don’t ever leave me
Don’t ever go - I need you close
Well if you leave me
Then I’ll just love your ghost
