Lyrics

Somewhere New

Late at night under the orange street light
Flickering on in the rain
Another day of the same old routine
That morphs into darkness again

Just think of it this sleeping world unfurls
And spreads itself out at our feet
Starry nights and distant lights that shimmer
Hazy with summer time heat

Come with me we can leave all this behind
How can you sleep when their night is alive

Drown out the confusion of the weekday
Take my hand and come with me to somewhere new
We can do this together - we can do this forever

Rainy streets reflect the neon signs
and set all the city ablaze
Run your hands along the rugged bricks
That ooze out the warmth of the day

The expectation of the coming morning
Hovers like smoke in the sky
I’ll remember all my nights with you
Until the day that I die

Come with me we can leave all this behind
How can you sleep when the night is alive?

Let go of the problems of the real world
Take my hand and come with me to somewhere new
We can do this together - we can do this forever
Let go of your worries and frustration
Take my hand and come with me to somewhere new
We can do this together - we can do this forever

I’ll show you where you can dance till morning
Escaping reality
You and I need no one else to tell us
Where we can and can’t be

Imagine it, the whole wide world awaits us
What do you most want to see?
I wish all our nights would last forever
Untroubled young and free

Come with me we can leave all this behind
How can you sleep when the night is alive? Let go of the problems of the real world
Take my hand and come with me to someone new
We can do this together - we can do this forever
Drown out the confusion of the weekday
Take my hand and come with me to somewhere new
We can do this together - we can do this forever

When I Return

Float me away on a river
I’ll make my way
Back home and then
You’ll seal your fate
With the devil
When you see me once again

I’ve escaped death twice already
To a prophecy I am bound
Once as a babe in a river
Once when sleeping I was found

I see the devil in you
I’ll see the devil again in hell
But when I make
My way back to you
You’ll reap what you sow
When I return, you’ll know

I’m coming home laden with gold
With riches beyond my wildest dreams
In the fountain wine now flows
And golden fruit hangs on the apple tree
Will you go in search of that treasure
Out to the gates of hell?
You’ll float on that river forever
Sure as time will tell

Float me away on a river
I’ll make my way back home and then
You’ll seal your fate with the devil
When you see me once again

Into royalty I’ve been married
All your plots I’ve overcome
All the fates conspire against you
You’ll be sorry when you’re done

Someday I’ll take your crown
You’ve been caught
By the snare you laid down
All that was yours will be mine
You’ll reap what you
Sow until the end of time

I’m coming home laden with gold
With riches beyond
My wildest dreams
In the fountain wine now flows
And golden fruit
Hangs on the apple tree
Will you go in search
Of that treasure
Out to the gates of hell?
You’ll float on that river forever
Sure as time will tell

Take care when crossing the river
The ferryman’s prices are high
He’ll give you the oars
When you reach the shore
You’ll be bound forever more

I’m coming home laden with gold
With riches beyond my wildest dreams
In the fountain wine now flows
And golden fruit hangs on the apple tree
Will you go in search of that treasure
Out to the gates of hell?
You’ll float on that river forever
Sure as time will tell

Float me away on a river
I’ll make my way
Back home and then
You’ll seal your fate
With the devil
When you see me once again

I, Butterfly

Step back with me,
We'll steal away
From chaos
From society.
Drink deep the tea,
Inhale the sage,
Unwind in the
Sunlight, honey.

I want it to change too.
Bid the nonsense adieu.
I, butterfly.

Let's hide in a beautiful place,
Untouched by cartographer's trace,
Dead-head the roses and start anew,
Cut back dead growth, life will break through.
Somewhere we can see all the stars,
I want my own utopia,
Remove the cobwebs, take away strife,
A new template for a fresh life.
A place to stretch our wings.
It could be everything.
Just think on it.

Step back with me,
We'll steal away
From chaos
From society.
Ambrosial bliss,
We're nectar drunk.
Sugary sweet
Proboscis kiss.

We shrink into cocoons
At the rise of each moon.
I, butterfly.

Metamorphose every day,
An un-choreographed ballet,
Worship the sun and drink the rain
Welcome each day to start again.
