Any old music

Any old music will do
I'm just living for your smile it's true
Any old music
Rhythm or rhyme
I'm just living this time

Any old port
Any old storm
I'm sick and tired
Of being lost and forlorn
Any old music will do

( Owls on the wing
Are passing by
Silently watching
Another night sky )

Any old music will do
I'm just living for your smile it's true
Any old music
Rhythm or rhyme
I'm just living this time

The Turning Swell

I lost it long ago
Not sure there isn't a road I don't know
Just moments of water off my skin
Just rolling water within

Back to front
Roundabout
Cry your words out
Spinning, nascent
The turning swell

There's a time of long ago
Echoed in my silver hair
Faint as footprints in the snow
That lead to nowhere

Back to front
Roundabout
Cry your words out
Spinning, nascent
The turning swell

Just moments of water off my skin
Just rolling water within
Not sure there isn't a road I don't know
I lost it long ago

Blue

You breeze in and you breeze out
With no idea what love's about
But like the temporary scent of blue
I'll soon get over you

Smoke curling from a flame
Moth to a candle, always the same
But like the temporary scent of blue
I'll get over you

a temporary scent of blue...

It's been a summer of butteflies and rain this year, of moments as fleeting as a beating wing. New set of words for a new cover.

Let's Sing Now

I won't be remembered for anything new
It's not what I've done, it's what you do
And those footsteps fade quicker everyday
Washed by the June rain, clean away

Oh, let's sing a song
Chorus and tune
Lost in the crowd
Let's sing now

It can be lusty
It can be loud
We'll stamp our feet
Let's sing now

You won't be wanting for anything more
It's all we imagined of that I'm sure
And my heart beats faster than the falling rain
Your arm around me, just the same

I won't be remembered for anything new
It's not what I've done, it's what you do
And those footsteps fade quicker everyday
Washed by the June rain, clean away

Head in the clouds
Heart in our hands
Everything to play for
Let's sing now

Off That Floor

Somewhere between yesterday and today
Somewhere between yesterday and today
The rules changed
Those lines blurred
Our shapes became a different word
Somewhere between yesterday and today
It's a whole new ball game

Don't throw me that curve
Because I've heard
It all before
Once, twice, encore, encore
Get up! get up!
Off that floor
But I'm not so sure now
And I'm not sure how
But somewhere between yesterday and today
Those rules changed

Somewhere between yesterday and today
Somewhere between yesterday and today
The rules changed
Those lines blurred
Our shapes became a different word
And you're not so sure now
And you're not sure how
But somewhere between yesterday and today
Somewhere between yesterday and today
It's a whole new ball game
