If Truth Be Told
02:58

If truth be told, if we are bold, then we can fly
If truth be told, if scars are shown, then we may cry
But only if, they come from those, who really care for us
Then we can hold, them in our heart, cos they can’t hurt us
If truth be told, then there is hope, someone can hear
Then we can live, and make our way, without the fear of
The light that shines, and always finds, that chink of armour
That gives us pain, but helps us gain, and makes us stronger
If truth be told, in them thar hills, there’s really gold
Then let us dig, until we find, we can grow older
Without the need, to have to say, what is expected
Because the truth, can set you free, if you can let it
There is no need, to have to say, what is expected
Because the truth, can set you free, if you can let it

Come & Go

Milky skies
Sad goodbyes
Train on time
Time to fly
Come and go, come and go
Between the smiles
Across the miles
Some arrive
Between the lines
Come and go, come and go
Home is calling again
Wrap you warm my friend
Here’s a coin for you to spin
Until I see you again
Heads or tails, heads or tails
Milky skies
Sad goodbyes
Train on time
Time to fly
Come and go, come and go

Free Will & Testament
04:26
|

Given free will but within certain limitations,
I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,
I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,
I can only -- guess me.
So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?
What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?
I have my senses and my sense of having senses.
Do I guide them? Or they me?
The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects.
What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
Is there freedom to un-be?
Is there freedom from will-to-be?
Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way.
We just invent or just assume a motivation.
I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible?
What are soldiers without a foe?
Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.
Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.
Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended.
Neither born nor left to die.
Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Let me off please, I am so tired.
Let me off please, I am so very tired.

I would have liked to know you
But that was no to be
To put my arms around you
To feel your arms round me
I would have liked to hear you
Say my name out loud
I would have liked to hear you
Tell me you were proud
I would have liked to see my eyes
Reflected in your own
To know just where I’ve come from
Some idea of where I’m going
I would have liked to feel your breath
Warm upon my face
I would have liked that feeling
I was in my rightful place
I wish I could remember
And so I guess does May
Running right beside you on the sands of Colwyn bay
I would have liked to tell you
What I do not know
But there is so much more to say
Before I let you go
But in the end you left me
With no bag to weigh me down
Free of expectation
Mother Nature all around

Poison Arrow
04:55
|
|||
I drew an arrow from my quiver
With tip of steel and feathers light
My sole intent to send a message
Never meant that we should fight
And as I pulled the bow towards me
I held it firmly as I drew
Then let it fly with self-assurance
Had no doubt my aim was true
But when it found the distant target
It fell on ground, I didn’t know
It found a heart that was still healing
Found a wound where blood still flowed
And so I tried to send another
With words as plain as plain could be
I wrapped it up inside a bottle
And then I threw it out to sea
And so it found the distant shoreline
You saw it there but as you knelt
To pick it up the glass did shatter
Drawing blood where none was meant
If I could feel those poison arrows
Flying straight into my heart
Then I might aim a little higher
Where the arrows, can do no harm

Minor Difficulty
04:35

If you could only trust yourself and let the birds sing out for all they’re
worth the song they sing would be so loud.
If you would only dare to loose your grip I’m sure you would not fall
But soar up to the sky and reach the clouds
You say you cannot bear to hear the sadness of the minor key
Or listen to the silence in between
The noise that covers up the sound of raindrops falling all around
But still the sun will shine if never seen
Sometimes the door’s already open
Though the light that shining in is pretty faint
But that’s the time to take a chance and grab the moment in both hands
Just push it wide and breath the clean, fresh air the other side
If you took time to sit awhile and sort amongst the stories you’ve been told I have no doubt you’d find the words
Would flow like water from stream
And smooth the pebbles in between
And take you to the shining, bright blue sea
Sometimes the door’s already open
Though the light that shining in is pretty faint
But that’s the time to take a chance and grab the moment in both hands
Just push it wide and breath the clean, fresh air the other side
You say you cannot bear to hear the sadness of the minor key
Or listen to the silence in between
The noise that covers up the sound of raindrops falling all around
But still the sun will shine if never seen
But still the sun will shine if never seen

Kinfolk Louth, UK
Pete, Charlotte and Harriet formed the band a few years but, as most bands do, we went our separate ways in the end, all very amicable I'm glad to say!
