alexi murdoch - 12

So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say there's something wrong

So I'm trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I don't know even where to start

Maybe that's a start

Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name

And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you won't land
You think no one understands
No one understands

So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway you're not here enough to care

And you're so tired you don't sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end

And it's strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry

Well maybe you should cry

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands

And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
You're standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you

alexi murdoch - all of my days

Well, I have been searching all of my days
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I''ve been walking on
All of my days
And I''ve been trying to find
What''s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well, I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I''ve been trying to find
What''s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well, many a night I found myself with no friends standing
near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it''s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night

Now I see clearly
It''s you I'm looking for
All of my days
Soon I'll smile
I know I''ll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems you've found me
And it''s coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
It''s even breathing
Feels all right

alexi murdoch - blue mind

- Blue Mind -

Got no time
Got no mind
For the line
In my life
No time to think
Time for sleep now
Time to sink way into the blue, dear

Got no time
Got no mind
For the line
In this life
No time to think
Time for sleep now
Time to sink way into the blue, dear

So watch your time
Time descends
Let it spill quietly
From your hands
Oh, and the time is at hand
When all things under the sky
Go free of time
Time is passing you by
Got no time
And I am drifting
Yes, I am drifting

Remember when you were only a child
Remember when you were only a child
Remember when you were only a child
Start to see with your blue mind
Start to see with your blue mind
Don't be afraid of what you find
No, don't be afraid of what you find
Cause I am drifting
Yes, I am drifting
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
Slowly, slowly I am drifting
Yes, slowly, slowly I am drifting

alexi murdoch - breathe

donâ??t forget to breathe
real life is here
no 11th hour reprieve
keep your head above water, but donâ??t forget to breathe.

and all the suffering that youâ??ve witnessed
and the hand prints on the wall
they remind you how itâ??s endless
how endlessly you fall

and the answer that youâ??re seeking
for the question that youâ??ve found
drives you further to confusion
as you lose your sense of ground

so donâ??t forget to breathe
donâ??t forget to breathe

real life is here
no 11th hour reprieve

donâ??t forget to breathe..
real life is here..
no 11th hour reprieve..
keep your head above water, but donâ??t forget to breathe.

breathe
breathe
breathe

...
just breathe

alexi murdoch - dream about flying

Pale light this morning, woke me
Slow pain I feel
Will not let me be

So much work to do
I don't know if I can
I'm trying so hard, so hard, so hard
But I am just one man

Five years old I climbed up on the wall
My mother warned me but it took no heed
Like all creatures great and small
I took a fall and found out I could bleed

Well these days I'm afraid of everything
Suppose cause everything will die
For who wants to love but they will loose
So much easier to lie

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Actually its more like most of the time
But every now and then when I am sleeping
I still have a dream that I'm flying

And I wake up crying

alexi murdoch - home

When do you really get to go
When do you really get to go
When do you really get to go
When do you really get to go
When do you really get to go
When do we really get to go
When do we really get to go
When do we really get to go

First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own
First you must go walking on your own

Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home
Maybe then we already are home

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Gently down the stream now
Gently down the stream
Gently down the stream now
Gently down the stream
Gently down the stream now
Gently down the stream
Gently down the stream
Gently down the stream

alexi murdoch - it s only fear

Pretty, pretty on the fence,
In your pretty moment of innocence,
You do not see that I see inside,
The quiet heart youâ??re trying to hide.

Donâ??t hold your head too high,
Donâ??t be afraid to cry,
Because you know my dear, its only fear, its only fear.
Yes my dear,
Do you hear, its only fear, its only fear, its only fear.
Yes its only fear, its only fear, its only fear,
That keeps you locked in here

Now you make believe you wasnâ??t bright,
And you may not see how can find your sight,
And maybe you wake up late at night,
Wondering why you feel so tired.
Well my dear, let me tell you know,
Do you hear, its only fear, its only fear, its only fear.
Yes its only fear, its only fear, its only fear.
Yes its only fear, its only fear, its only fear,
That keeps you locked in here.

alexi murdoch - love you more

Love you more than anyone
Love you more than anyone
Love you more in time to come
Love you more...

alexi murdoch - orange sky

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said Brother, you know you know
Itâ??s a long road weâ??ve been walking on
Brother you know it is you know it is
Such a long road weâ??ve been walking on

And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said Sister, here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this..
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

But sister you know Iâ??m so weary
And you know sister
My hearts been broken
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong to carry on

When I am alone
When Iâ??ve thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this..
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by

alexi murdoch - shine

I wonder why
we are the way we are
yes I wonder why
we are the way we are
and why
we only love each from afar

this is how we are fighting
this is how we are fighting
time
time

you spend your days
watching the door
yeah you spend your whole life waiting
but you don't know what for
you have everything you need right here
still you want more

oh this is how we are fighting
this is how we are fighting
time
time

well I didn't come here
looking for a soul
and I'm tired of watching dust
collecting on a bowl
I'm a spirit trying to be human
I'm just a spirit trying to be human

but I'm thinking this is how we are fighting
this is how we are fighting
time
time

you hold on to yourself
you're afraid that you might
get left behind

and so you hide your eyes
you're afraid that the light
will make you blind

but it's time
it's time to shine

yes it's time to believe in what you know
time to believe in what you know
time to believe in what you know
and you don't need strength to be strong
time to believe in what you know
no you don't need strength to be strong
time to believe in what you know
time to believe in what you know
time to believe in what you know
time to believe in what you know

alexi murdoch - sinking

Sitting quietly watching the ticking on the wall
She sits patiently, she thinks maybe the world will fall
She says, â??I feel at times like I had it and lost it allâ?
But there are walls are in her eyes

Waiting, she says, is the hardest thing to do
You donâ??t feel like somebody else and you donâ??t feel like you
Sometimes the light around me has the strangest hue
And I wonder what Iâ??m going through

And sheâ??s on fire, and her whole world is burning
Yeah, sheâ??s on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turning
She says, â??Iâ??m so full of doubt, I donâ??t know if Iâ??ll ever find a way out
Feels like something I read in a book somewhere
Iâ??ve been thinking, you know Iâ??ve been thinking
Iâ??ve thought myself into the ground, Iâ??ve been thinking
That Iâ??m sinking.â?

(Here we go)

Lonely I take through and my mind begins to soar (?)
She talked to anyone, so itâ??s anyone she told
Thereâ??s an empty chair at the end of an empty hall
And she feels small

Faces smile, sheâ??s moving through a crowd
The sun is shining but itâ??s hiding a cloud
She laughs from time to time but she feels a little loud
And she would cry but sheâ??s too proud

And sheâ??s on fire and her whole world is burning
Yeah, sheâ??s on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turning
She says, â??Iâ??m so full of doubt, I donâ??t know if Iâ??ll ever find a way out
Feels like something I read in a book somewhere
Iâ??ve been thinking, you know Iâ??ve been thinking
Iâ??ve thought myself into the ground, Iâ??ve been thinking
That Iâ??m sinking.â?

And you want to tell her that sheâ??s gonna be fine
And you want to tell her that the light hurts when youâ??ve been blind
She says â??all I see stretching out before me is timeâ?
She says, â??All I see stretching out before me is timeâ?
Oh, and you want to tell her that sheâ??s gonna be fine
Oh, woman, youâ??re drinking your sorrows like wine, now
Ohhh, woman, donâ??t you know that youâ??re going to be fine?
Donâ??t you know that youâ??re going to be fine?

alexi murdoch - song for you

So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say theres something wrong

So Im trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I dont know even where to start

Maybe thats a start

Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name

And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you wont land
You think no one understands
No one understands

So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway youre not here enough to care

And youre so tired you dont sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end

And its strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry

Well maybe you should cry

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands

And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
Youre standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you

alexi murdoch - wait

Feel I'm on the verge of some greath truth
Well, I'm finally in my place
But I'm thumbling still for proof
And it's cluttering my space
Casting shadows on my face
You know I have a strength to move a hill
I can hardly leave my room
So I'll sit perfectly still
And I'll listen for a tune
When the mind is on the moon

And if I stumble
And if I stall
And if I slip now
And if I should fall
And if I can't be all that I could be
Will you, will you wait for me

Cause everywhere it seems to be
I am only passing through
I dream these days about the sea
Always wake up feeling blue
Wishing I could dream of you

So if I stumble
And if I fall
And if I slip now
And loose it all
And if I can't be all that I could be
Will you, will you wait for me

And wait for me
And wait for me
And wait for me
Won't you wait for me

And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me

And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me

And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me

And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me

Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me

alexi murdoch - at your door

Well, you can hide behind your door
And you can leave me kneeling on the floor
But I will only love you more
Yes I will only love you more

Well, you can take from me all you think you need
And you can bury it deep, deep in the ground
But I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
No I will never let you down

alexi murdoch - crinan wood

It was cold, you had your hands inside your sleeves
As we walked I heard the laughter in the leaves
See the shadows lying now where once we stood
And I would lie down right there if only I could

The music came to me, it came across the sound
And you laughed and shown and danced a circle around
As we walked away, I saw a shadow on the ground
There were stones inside my pockets that I found

When I was younger I heard angels on the roof
As thousand voices singing, each one was the truth
Well a wise young lad, I left them in my youth
And I have only just my memory for proof

See a doorway open on a darker road

Out in the garden, thread lies broken on the loom
See a face that's smiling, quick around the wall
And in the distance, mountains waiting for the fall

See these knots around my hands, around my feet
They would take me down my end for me to meet
I grow weary of this struggle and this fight
The morning's so far off from out here in the night

The night is cold and you must leave me, this I know
And empty all the places where we used to go
Before I knew you I went climbing in the snow
Called your name out to the darkness down below
