Yellow Little Moon: written by Michael Baker
Does it tie a bow round to talk pretty
I suppose that our bones are not meant to rattle
And this weather stays or it blows away
I will keep things
In a boat that’s not meant to travel
I know every part of you
My yellow little moon
But can you keep me something
If your passing soon
If your passing soon
And I could write a song about the Dying
But I just deal in dreams if I can
I’m underneath the town by the fire
Oh underneath it I am
I know every part of you
My yellow little moon
But you keep me something
you who taught me everything
Can you keep me something?
If your passing soon
If your passing soon
If your passing soon
If your passing soon

Caught in the Crossfire

Maybe I’m just caught in a crossfire
Or maybe I’m too blind to see what’s going on
And I can paint it red
And you can paint it blue
These colours change the view
Sweet saviour sail me to the dream
And whisper to me sweet nothings until the break of dawn
And i can paint it red
and you can say its blue
These colours change the View
Maybe I’m just caught in a crossfire
Maybe I’m just caught in a crossfire
You can stain it red
And I can keep it blue
These colours change
These colours change the view

HOW COME YOU SLEEP: written by Michael Baker
How come you sleep when you’re tired
Baby I feel this world is on fire
Memories I keep in a can on the floor
A man don’t need anymore
Some of us change
And some of us stay the same
It’s another key to another door
I’ve seen the stitch and it’s already sewn
I got these ideas and here’s my emotion
A man don’t need any more
Well some of us change
And some of us stay the same
And past that is our dreams
Yeah past that is our dreams
How come you sleep when you’re tired
Baby I feel this world is on fire

Fold Your Hands: written by Michael Baker
Let thoughts just float ahead
Just go down to the river and float my friend
I see those colours are whispering
Just go down to the river my love and listen
And fold your hands
Don’t you be a stranger now
Cause all that you are is all that you can
I think beauty is comfortable and trust me your doing fine
So fold your hands
Don’t you be a stranger now
‘To myself
on the worst of days
trust yourself it wont be this way
lonely night
oh all of my sadness and laughter’
And fold your hands
Don’t you be a stranger now
Cause all that you are is all that you can
I think beauty is comfortable and trust me your doing fine
So fold your hands
Don’t you be a stranger now

Punch drunk fist: written by Michael Baker
Do you fear as I do
Is it buried beneath your skin
Do you have thoughts as calm as the evening
And even now do you sway like branches in the storm
Forever tangled in love
Do you fear my love like a punch drunk fist
I’m cold to touch
But my promise I’m warm within
I’ll let you in
If you let me in
Oh you can read your stories like no-one I’ve known
And when you said that even burdened hearts were never meant
To beat alone
To be alone
Do you fear my love like a punch drunk fist
I’m cold to touch
But my promise I’m warm within
i’ll let you in
If you let me in
Like no-one I’ve known
Just let me in

Houses – Written By Michael Baker
Maybe now I’ll speak louder again
But speaking of rows of houses as time just passes me by
And patient is the thunder
Keeps me going under
Over and over again
But its always worth the wait
Hoping light can stay
If we could just grow away from here
Go wash our hands in the sea
Vague the noise in the mind
And swim till no land can be seen
Have hope where there is wonder
Keep me going under over and over again
The doves are reading pages all over the ages over and over again
So buy a pretty penny
Honey I don’t feel anything at all
But it’s always worth the wait
Hoping light can stay

TODAY: written by Michael Baker
I hear your whispers in the morning
I can see you in my dreams
So no more drinking through the daytime darling
Well I can dream
There’s no more colour in my room
And there’s no more laughter
You’re the writing in my book
And you’re everything after
So I’m gonna let today affect me in my own way
Let the tears rain down
Falling on my face
I’m gonna let today affect me in my own way honey
Let the tears rain
Let the tears rage
Feel like saying that I’m sorry
Draw the outline of your feet
Angels sent you now they’re calling
Now your everywhere I see

Lightly Looms

Lightly looms: written by Michael Baker and EDWARD CHARLES SMITH
Lightly looms those lovely lines
Tall the moon tie the sky
For June is youth violet sky
Tooth for tooth eye for eye
I’m caught up in a good place
So pass the kite
But how to let it go
My cynical demeanour, is my palindrome
Or maybe I’m just lost inside these walls
My fever grows with my distain
So tie the moon to this place
Don’t I deserve my own space?
Is it tooth for tooth
Or violent days
I’m caught up in a good place
So pass the kite
But how to let it go
My cynical demeanour is my palindrome
Or maybe I’m just lost inside these walls

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
