Lyrics - Meanwhile Gardens

Garden's Overflowing

The garden's overflowing

Please try
May this calm

Their lives collide and the colours run
And all their fears the same

The garden's overflowing

King Of Mice

The slow revolution of the circle that you draw
Your feet keep on landing in the same place of the circle
Revolution

Free-fall days float away
Leading me home where I belong
Second skin meridian
Free-fall days

In the dark there's a sound here with me
Like a gift

And all dark is gone now you are here
Wish you everything I have

Beginning to surface on the spring tide
Like a morning

Free-fall days float away
Keeping you warm where you belong
Colour of the summer sky
Free-fall days

In the dark there's a sound here with me
Like a gift

And all dark is gone now you are here
Wish you everything I have

You light my darkest hour
Don't fade on me now

You light my darkest hour

Under Stone

I want to look after myself
After my things after my health
Sorry I want to do this
On my own without your help

You're stronger than me
Always stronger than me
You're stronger than me
So much stronger than me

I want to sleep under my stone
Under my shell make it my home
Maybe I ought to do this
By myself without your help

You're stronger than me
Always stronger than me
You're stronger than me
So much stronger than me

Stay inside
Wherever's enough for you
Warm sun
Stay inside
You're pulling yourself in two
Warm sun
Stay inside
Stop telling me what to do

Know well I can hear you
Know well I can here by you

Chain By Day

Feed me and I will you
Take all you can before I do
Fear and behold you'll never come down again
Spare me your thoughts you speak to yourself

Chain by day
(Too cold to haul the line)
Chain by day
(You're standing in my way)

I told you

Don't speak to me you open up too easily
Why bleed for me expecting no apology?

Chain by day
(Too cold to haul the line)
Chain by day
(You're standing in my way)

Food For Powder

The gift of life I knew a girl
She is my world she is my pearl
Clear running water
That's what I call her                                                                                                                                                                                                

They say you see it all when you die
Closer to life

Here where we dream in quiet sleep
Is there no justice or release?
Where we sleep in quiet dreams
Is there no justice?

They say you see it all when you die
Closer to life

Learning the ways nature behaves

They say you see it all when you die
Closer to life

The gift of life I knew a girl
She is my world she is my pearl
Clear running water
That's what I call her

All At Sea

(Instrumental)

Even When Your Eyes Are Open

There are lines around the world
They pull the birds across the sea
Instead of waiting for the word to go
Before the thinking starts because they know that's where they want to be

It's all the same if you ask me
It's just like the way you breathe the air that you can't see
You don't think about it
It's all the same if you ask me
It's just like the way you need the air that you don't see
Even when your eyes are open

Bigger eyes make the world seem small
They show you all you need to see
Uncovered as the time arrives again
The seeds are falling now and if they're lucky they might make a tree

It's all the same if you ask me
It's just like the way you breathe the air that you can't see
You don't think about it
It's all the same if you ask me
It's just like the way you need the air that you don't see
You don't think about it

Even when your eyes are open

Greymouth

First rain came our thirst remained
For all the fears are given names
Together call to heaven's heel
Above the whirring of the wheel
And all his bright work to admire
And pass reflected in her side

To briefly to confide and while we call
Her eyes once more are all

We take our time for the rest of our lives

And so we stormed towards the field
As blind as ones to the clan and steel
As under field as overgrown
As one unique as one alone

We take our time for the rest of our lives

Far reaching out in time for why to call
Our eyes as one are all

Ours was the last of light says I
Must we colour ourselves with eyes

Life Going Faster

Stand still for a while
Another mile
Faster lives to use time
All the time

Sometimes the lights can hurt your eyes
But you don't mind just as long as your life's
Going faster

Keep up if you can
Stay ahead of the rest
Forget the rest
Killing yourself to make time
All the time

Sometimes the lights can hurt your eyes
But you don't mind just as long as your life's
Going faster
