Tones Of Home - 05 Is It Love

Is It Love

The great escape was close enough for you to fear

That you were nowhere near the way out again

Straight and narrow,

A solid line,

That stretches back to you.

Whatever you might think of me,

I never locked that door.

A cherished phrase to you so dear that you’ve outgrown

You held it close but it just blew away

Straight and narrow,

A solid line,

That stretches back to you.

Whatever you might think of me,

I never locked that door.

Fall for your answers,

And you’ll never get caught.

It’s just another reflection

That’s tearing down your wall.

Yes I’ve seen it,

And I’ll just pass it by.

Or is it love?

Tones Of Home - 06 Back Seat

Back Seat

I started shaking in the back seat

I just couldn’t look out

The bells were ringing

Into the night

Everything looked so familiar

Though I’d been away for years

But oh please forgive me

I just can’t stay

I know you’ve tried

So hard to make things right

But I can’t take no more

What this place has got in store

‘Cause everywhere you turn there’s someone dragging you right down

Turn back the clock

To when we used to meet at the park

Round about midnight

When we felt safe

We danced around the ruins

Till you said “Nothing’s wrong,

What are you scared of?

You’ve got your dreams”

Throw the dice

And play back “Summertime”

So I don’t have to take a stand

While you figure out your plans

I never thought they’d work out

And I could never quite see it

The light that burned around you

While we stayed awake in someone else’s place

Sing me back to sleep

So I can lose the keys

And stop to pretend that your life is going out of hand

You keep looking backwards when your mind is moving forward

You know it’s all gone for good and I won’t take it back,

Well ain’t this true

Love?

Tones Of Home - 07 Love

Love

Somewhere, in a street

You’re staring back at me

And I’ll never know how hard you tried

To recapture that moment

When you felt like you had found

Love

Slip away

To the far end of the reel

Where you set off free

You’re not locked up anymore

The lights go down

While I watch you dance away

All the nights that killed you slowly

The broken tales of fading trust and

Love

The closing tune is playing but I’m not leaving

I’m not going anywhere

I’ll be waiting for you

Tones Of Home - 08 Sunday

Sunday

Sunday

Without warnings

The edges cut off

And we fell down with you

Dressed up with your ball and chain and waiting for the call

Waiting the right words

Sunday,

We stopped worrying

You played a bad trick

And we fell right for you

Locked up in the waiting line, and selling every move

Hiding from our view

Velvet signs of red

Velvet signs of red

While you steal the lives you fake

Sunday,

Came with no grace

Your words in the shade

Your lies down in your grave

Velvet signs of red

Velvet signs of red

While you steal the lives you fake

Tones Of Home - 09 Wherever

Wherever

Wherever you’ll go

Wherever you’ll be

I’ll never forget how you’ve made me feel

May these alleyways burn

May these staircases fall

I’ll never get lost again

Put me in the back seat

And drive me out of town

So I can leave behind

All the roads that keep me away from you
