Navigator 04:36
long ago we sailed the open seas guided by the light of the heavenlies i can hear them calling out to me lord i know my heart's a heavy stone weathered by the beating of the shore tethered to an ever sinking hope well the road is long and there are many miles ahead and the moon is high but I remember what you said i’m giving it time i’m giving it faith i’m giving it more than i ever did take no turning around no giving in weightless as a bird leave your worries here take me at my word oh there's nothing left to fear well the road is long and there are many miles ahead and the moon is high but I won’t forget what you said i’m giving it time i’m giving it faith i’m giving it more than i ever did take i’m willing to run i’m willing to wait no matter the price i’m willing to pay no turning around no giving in un diha siempre mansuettu hit (one day we will be free) manhåhanao hit para i tasi (we’re going to sea)

So Nice 04:04
are you leaving in the morning out on the first tide did you hear it in a dream last night telling you why cause if you want we can start all over again are you spinning out of orbit swimming in the deep blue are you swallowing the summit even though you never meant to cause if you want we can stop and come home again cause it we be so nice being with you’s like paradise living in every moment i know it would be it would be it would be don’t count me out i need to know is there a place that we can go so take my hand give me your word don’t ever let me go

Bonitu 04:24
darling time to turn down the lights you’re gonna be just fine calling somewhere over the dunes you’re gonna find it soon lost in a dream you tenderly sigh these arms open wide voices ringing clear in the night show you the way to go faces shining merry and bright just follow the morning’s glow lost in a dream you tenderly sigh these arms open wide oh child i can’t promise you gold you know this old world ain't fair oh child someday way down the road i’ll give you song and prayer håhagu ha’ gi guinifi hu (it’s always you in my dreams) these arms open wide waiting for you keep me in mind hågu bonitu (you’re my beautiful one)

In Dreams 04:56

if i were your cocoon in my arms you'd stay forever you could be my moon and like a bubbly tide i’d follow you i’d follow you if i were your balloon safe above we'd fly together you could be my tune and like a humming fool i’d follow you i’d follow you past the sun round a corner on a comet to wherever you are it don't matter how far i would sail eleven seas oh to see you smiling at me to wherever you are it don't matter how far if i were your lagoon stormy waves could never harm you you would find me true and like a lighthouse i’d watch over you i’d follow you past the sun round a corner on a comet to wherever you are it don't matter how far i would sail eleven seas oh to see you smiling at me to wherever you are it don't matter how far i’d use up all my wishing stars for you

Shipwrecked 04:19
started out with a smile when you met me but i was never quite sure packed my bags for a long long journey never felt like this before suddenly everything up is down it was right but it's all wrong somehow and now i’m shipwrecked off the coast of another broken heart somebody save me white flags in the air won't get me there or anywhere i’ve got all the blue i can handle truth be told you're just another shark in the water shark in the water call me crazy but it won’t bother me there are plenty other fish in my sea suddenly everything up is down it was right but it's all wrong somehow i guess i’ll never learn i guess i’ll never learn i guess i’ll never my lesson

Waking 05:32
every now and again I remember when I was younger yeah I recall those happy days feel it pulling me in like I'm in a dream and we're underwater but I'm still breathing and I can’t understand why it’s happening are we getting older oh nothing’s like it was before fell i’m slipping away to another place with your hand in my hand and I’m still breathing somewhere hidden in my memory i know it's waiting for me there we’ve only just begun and the time is come and we're slowly waking singing our dreamers song and the time will come and the world is waiting winter’s cold deep in the dark is where the flowers long to grow stories old safe in the heart there is a place i long to go don’t fear the sound of the here and now
