Blissful Lands 02:59

I’m heading for the blissful lands To leave behind this world’s demands I leave my loved ones in your hands I’m heading for the blissful lands I’m heading for the blissful lands I’m giving up the dust and bone It's time to leave this world alone Time to see how much I’ve grown I’m keeping all the love I’ve known I’m giving up the dust and bone Darling know I’m always near You’ll hear me when your heart is clear Every second every year Every smile and every tear Darling know I’m always near Now I’m above and I’m below I’m the river and I'm the flow I’m closer to you than you know I’m in the dark and in the glow I’m closer to you than you know I’m heading for the blissful lands To leave behind this world’s demands I leave my loved ones in your hands I’m heading for the blissful lands I’m heading for the blissful lands

Don't Listen to Me 03:51
lyrics

When your mind goes dark and you’ve lost direction Baby take a walk, look at your reflection Every line and scar, every dried up teardrop They got you this far You never let your fear stop you Only you can tell when your heart is honest Nobody can sell what your soul is promised Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Everything you need to know is inside your heart Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about In the deepest cave of your hurt and regret On the highest peaks, where nobody’s been yet Gotta trust yourself and your intuition Ain’t nobody else gonna give permission Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Everything you need to know is inside your heart Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about I’m afraid of death, ‘cause I know I’m not done Gotta take a breath, pick a dream to become On my dying day, I will want you with me And I hope and pray that you will forgive me For all my mistakes and my indiscretions You’re my great escape You're my intercession Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Everything you need to know is inside your heart Don’t listen to me I don’t know what I’m talking about Everything you need to know is inside your heart And I’ll be walking right beside you as you figure it out I’ll be walking right beside you as you figure it out

A Long Drive 02:42
lyrics
buy track
We could go for a long drive Find out where when we arrive We could dance when we get there Put some flowers in our hair Leave the city behind Cleaner air and a clear mind Rolling round in the long grass We won't notice the time pass Let's get carried away, for a while We'll stop worrying what the others will say We don't know them anyway I'm good living a dream, if you're there We don't need anyone else Just follow the gleam in your eyes Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh You’ve been waiting a long time To get out in the sunshine But we only get one chance No rehearsal for this dance No more gossip and grapevines No more small-talk and deadlines Yeah my heart wants to be free Tell me you’re coming with me Let's get carried away, for a while We'll stop worrying what the shadows will say We don't know them anyway I'm good living a dream, if you're there We don't need anything else Just follow the gleam in your eyes Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh We could go for a long drive Find out where when we arrive We could dance when we get there Put some flowers in our hair

Just Wanted You to Know 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I was lost and living wild Then you came and made me smile All along I knew that you were something else All I long I knew you wouldn’t stay forever I can't fall asleep tonight ‘Cause I'm afraid of what I have to do tomorrow How you made me feel will never fade away You have always been enough And I just wanted you to know Oh, I just wanted you to know Oh, I just wanted you High upon these dusty shelves We kept the memories of our better selves. Wrinkled photographs of a younger me and you While it lasted it was lovely And I just wanted you to know Oh, I just wanted you to know Oh, I just wanted you to know Oh, I just wanted you to know Oh, I just wanted you Let’s go out and meet the dawn An empty chair where we would sit and watch the sunrise I will lay upon the lawn Let the clouds roll by and feel the fire in my eyes

Your Hand in Mine 03:51
lyrics
buy track
I’ll write a song - a song for you I’ll look into your eyes whenever you want me to I’ll light a fire, and pour the tea Right here with you’s the only place I wanna be We’ll snuggle up and hunker down Out the window leaves are drifting to the ground I don’t count the days anymore One breath at a time We could lie forever on this floor I’ve got your hand in mine We’ll take a walk to that cafe You’ll have a london fog and I’ll get my earl grey And then we’ll stroll down to the stream I’ll try to skip a stone and you’ll just laugh at me I don’t count the hours anymore One breath at a time We could stand forever on this shore ‘Cause I’ve got your hand in mine It’s getting late Let’s head on home No you can’t wear my coat, you should have brought your own We’ll lock the door The world can wait Where this is going I don’t wanna speculate I don’t count the minutes anymore One breath at a time We could never ask for any more ‘Cause I’ve got your hand in mine I’ve got your hand in mine

Always Come Back 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I’m so tired of this routine We stopped wondering what it means Need to trade some gray for green Make a break and make it clean We can always come back So let’s go down another road Another town another coast Where the winding river flows Let’s see where our story goes We can always come back We can always come back home We can always come back Throw your head back as you run Turn your face toward the sun Let your shadow fall behind you Let the moment free your mind We can always come back We can always come back home We can always come back Home, home, home We can always come back I see the ocean in your eyes I wanna hold my breath and dive in Now the sky is turning red The golden sand can be our bed Sailing on the ancient sea Getting lost sounds good to me Getting found and getting free We can always come back Home, home, home We can always come back Home, home, home We can always come back If we get back and nothing's there Just dust and rubble everywhere I don't think I'd even care As long as you're with me I swear We can always come back home

about

“Your Hand In Mind" is a really relaxed, sincere love song about savoring those simple, intimate moments together with your true love. It tells the story of a quiet, beautiful, ordinary day together. I've heard too many songs about the first night of a relationship - I love writing about what love feels like after years and years. There's a couple funny moments too, which I think is really characteristic of a happy, long-term love.
