LYRICS FROM “THE BLOOMING HOUR” (2011)
The Getaway
Let’s get away
Lets run away together
Sha la la la la
Just you and me
Under the trees
The Country
Sha la la la
No one is looking
Oh, turn up the radio
Listen to your favorite song
I’ll be humming along with you
And you’ll know
I’m your wonderful
Up in the sky chasing the clouds
A rainbow
Sha la la la la
Time slips away
Leave it tomorrow
Let your hand glide
Outside the window like an airplane
Up and down
Sha la la la
Chorus
I’ll be right there always
Right here, till summer falls away

Diary of an Insomniac
I dont wanna go outside when you’re not around
There isn’t any point in roaming all around this town
Oh No
Staring at the pavement oh
It always brings me down
When you go away my heart it disappears
The TV and the radio keep ringing in my ears
Oh No
Staring at the ceiling, oh
My head turned upside down
When you are far away
Down, I wish that you could stay with me
Always
I’d keep you in my safest place
Oh No
Nothing’s gonna wake me now
My head is on a cloud
When I’m on my own I’m twiddling my thumbs
Some days I feel like time is ticking on an atom bomb
Oh No
The clock is screaming 4 am
And I’m awake again
Calm me down, Calm me down, Calm me down
I wish that you could calm me down
———————————————–
Around Again
Something you said got me thinking
Late last night my head’s still spinning
Its bringing me down
I let you turn my head
Its bringing me down
You’re spinning me around again
Strange ideas in my head
Somethings are better left unsaid
Chorus
Oh wont someone steady me
Oh wont someone steady me

Be Kind to My Mistakes (Kate Bush)
It is this that brings us together.
It is this that brings us together.
It’s all right, darling,
We can do this together.
It’s all right, darling,
I can think of nothing better.
I don’t know you,
And you don’t know me.
It is this that brings us together.
I don’t know what you are
Looking for in me.
I don’t know what I want,
Or what my heart is needing.
Am I yours? Are you mine?
We’ll find what we’re meant to find.
In your life, in my life,
There are secrets too dark
To let out, to let go of,
To get over.
But that’s all right, baby.
That’s all right by me.
‘Coz, it’s all right now.

Mayfair
Sun is shining in our eyes
Jersey Shore in summer time
We are facing toward the sea
My heart is racing
The waves they sting me and they bruise
Till there’s nothing left in me to lose
The sea is vast and dark and deep
And you are just beyond my reach
Hey, I’ve never drifted out this far
Oh, and now I wonder where you are
The ocean turns us upside down
Soon we cannot see the shoreline
Swallowed by another break
My strength is fading
Chorus
———————————————————-
All the While
Bring me a man
Who can sing me a song
Who can make my heart weak
Who can make me stand strong
At the same time
All at the same time
Oh baby I guess its been you all the while
Make the melody sweet
And the harmony tender
With a knife in your voice
That makes me surrender to you
Its been a long time
Since I got myself lost in your eyes
Oh baby I guess its been you all the while
I think I should stay away from here
I can’t do anything to make you wanna be
Loving me baby I don’t wanna stay this way
But there’s no other way to tell you
Just how much I need to be near you
One of these days our war will be over
Our song will return
And I’ll hand myself over to you
We’re two of the same kind
Oh baby I guess its been you all the while
Oh love I guess its been you all the while
Oh babe

Johnny
Johnny take me as I am
I can’t feel anymore
I spent all the love I have
On all the wrong things
Pick it up
When we’re dancing in the park
I don’t remember
What you feel like anymore
The way you held me in the dark
Johnny wait for me
Oh is it too late?
Do you understand?
Lay me down again.
Oh I’m a prisoner of my own mind
Walls and walls of heartache all the time
I need you to come around here with your light
Tell me everything’s all right
All right
Chorus
—————————————————–
Just How Much
I wish that I could tell you
How I feel about you
Just how much I love you
I’m always thinking of you
I can’t find the words to tell you
Just right
Do you know how much I want to
Spend every day beside you
I see it all so clearly
You and me, front porch swing
When we’re seventy
Singing your songs
In my ear
And I will listen endlessly
Holding your hand forever
But all the words in the world
They all just turn pale
When I’m standing next to you
And I fumble around
Curling my toes in my shoes
Looking for better words to choose
But nothing comes around
I wish that I could tell you
How I feel about you
Just how much I love you
I’m always thinking of you
I can’t find the words to tell you
Just right

Sassy Miss Lassie
You are the buzz
I am the sting
You are the lightening, the thunder
I am the silence in between
You’re the portrait on my wall
You are the thief
I’m the guillotine about to fall
You’re the wheel
And I’m the rut
You are a breeze through my hall
I’m a window painted shut
You’re the steel
I’m the rust
You are the flood in the field
I’m the dust
That rolls away from you
Just wont do, Just wont do
Away from you
Just wont do, Just wont do
You are the static
I am the cling
You are the master puppeteer
You’re dangling my strings
You’re the bone
I’m the break
You are the give
I am the take what I can get
Away from you
Just wont do, Just wont do
Away from you
Just wont do, Just wont do
You are the crackle
And I’m the crunch
You’re the spider
You’re having me for lunch
You are my shadow
And when I turn around
I can’t be found I can’t be found very far
Away from you
Just wont do, Just wont do
Away from you
Just wont do, Just wont do
———————————————————-
Thank You
Thank you for always being the one
Who always keeps me on the ground, on the ground
When I stumble through this world
Its you who always comes to lay me down, lay me down
And when my voice is weakening
You speak my name, you give me love
Lost and lonely girls like me
Don’t understand why you would stay around
Stay around
I know I lack confidence
My fear in me it swallows every sound
Every sound
And when my soul is weakening
You sing my name, You give me love

Long Goodbye
Once for the camera
Wave into the sun
I’ll watch your airplane off
For the last time
Its been a long
Its been a long
Its been a long good-bye
We’ve gone our different ways
Changing direction
I let you turn away
Upon refection
I guess I ran out of time
Ran out of time
Too late to make things right
And I’m feeling the weight
This empty room can bring
But I’ll take it and I’ll walk away
