benjamin francis leftwich - 1904

All of our friends survived
When a plane crashed their minds
And in 1904, I found
Some real, real strength of my ground

You looked at me with your old, old eyes
That you used to
Look at your god in your old, old ways
If you lost your way, walk on, walk on, walk on

All of our thoughts collide
When our hearts smashed inside
And in that place I saw the cold dark diamond
In the cold dark floor

You looked at me with your old, old eyes
That you used to
Look at your god in your old, old ways
Lost your way, walk on, walk on, walk on

benjamin francis leftwich - atlas hands

Take me to the docks
there is a ship without a name,
and it is sailing to middle of the sea,
the water there is deeper
than anything you?ve ever seen,
jump right in and swim until your free.

I will remember your face
because I am still in love with that place
when the stars are
the only things we share
will you be there?

Money came like rain
into your hands while you were waiting,
for that cold old promise to appear.
people in the churches
started singing about their hurts
you said my god is a good god and he cares.

I will remember your face
because I am still in love with that place
when the stars are
the only things we share
will you be there?

I?ve got a plan, I?ve got an atlas in my hands
I?m gonna turn
when I listen to the lessons I?ve learned
I?ve got a plan, I?ve got an atlas in my hands
I?m gonna turn
when I listen to the lessons I?ve learned.

benjamin francis leftwich - bottle baby

Took a ride home
Woke up in the snow
Went out to bury my doubt
Drink the rain out

Put on a brave face
For a brave day
I don't need no human heat
To make me feel ok

And I heard you say
I got punched out today
I don't need no bottle baby
To make me feel ok

Got out of the car
10 years too far
Motorway bar
A cigarette on the tar

Took a ride home
Woke up in the snow
Dob't need no human heat
To make this go

When I heard you say
I got punched out today
I don't need no bottle baby
To make me feel ok

benjamin francis leftwich - don t go slow

Don't go slow, list all the things that you need
Love and heat, runs from your head to your feet
I saw you first in the car on the way to the lake
Catch you there

If my bones were wrapped around you
My skin was right in front of you
And you smile and close your eyes
I'm yours tonight

If you stay, I promised to keep you alive
For all these days
When you fell like a feather from out of a plane
You've got time

If my bones were wrapped around you
My skin was right in front of you
And you smile and close your eyes
I'm yours tonight

If my bones were wrapped around you
My skin was right in front of you
And you smile and close your eyes
I'm yours tonight

benjamin francis leftwich - box of stones

My harbor has a boat in it
The water makes its way around it,
When the sun shines down the hills, winds blow
I miss you more

You said I'm young, but I'm yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I'm here in your heart
I was here from the start

The forest had a rock in it
Roots and animals were blocked by it,
When they turned all their bones, they changed to stone
They've lost their faith

You said I'm young and I'm yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I'm here in your heart
I was here from the start

Then when the rain came and settled on your skin
Not like before and you let it all in
To your heart was the only part
From the start you said upon.

You said I'm young and I'm yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I'm here in your heart
I was here from the start

benjamin francis leftwich - butterfly culture

Even though your faded glow
Won't bend throught all your bars
You put out to put up
Even while your widening smile
Was shaking in the smoke
Your hand was full of hope

Because I am a member of the butterfly culture
Where we worked and we take
We play and we pray to god
But the girl in that dress will undress
And distress you with the way that she moves

Even now when you know
How to measured up the risk
You're still not tired of this
Even when the pills you take
Turn you to a ghost
You still spin around the most

Because I am a member of the butterfly culture
Where we worked and we take
We play and we pray to god
But the girl in that dress will undress
And distress you with the way that she moves

I am a member of the butterfly culture
Where we worked and we take
We play and we pray to god
But the girl in that dress will undress
And distress you with the way that she moves

benjamin francis leftwich - last smoke

This is just the start
You've got a cold heart
Don't you wanna spend
More time 'round here?

Our run out through the garden
Ended up by your home
With broken arms and stolen charm
I knew you weren't alone

Don't you love me, yeah?
Don't you wanna be my sky?
If you trust me, yeah
We won't ever have to fight

We are now departed
From the place in which we started
We just got up on the bridge
So we could see it glow

The things that we have lived in
The cities which we've slept in
The coming of the winter of the field

Don't you love me, yeah?
Don't you wanna be my sky?
If you trust me, yeah
We won't ever have to fight

This is just the start
You've got a cold heart
Don't you wanna spend
More time 'round here?

benjamin francis leftwich - more than letters

All the water, all the water in the world...
Stop my heart, stop. Lay for once.
And do you know, the secret road...
Where I can go, to see and feel you grow

If it's not too much, I would love to see you there
With bone coloured skin and flowers in your hair
If it's not too much, I would love to see you there
With bone coloured skin and flowers in your hair.

Where does the time go?
Where does the time all go forever?

It hides in your eyes, in a picture
In another place's sky

I have it in my hands,
They're the words to a song I never sang.
It's more than letters, it heals that bridge.

If it's not too much, I would love to see you there.
With bone coloured skin and flowers in your hair.
If it's not too much, I would love to see you there
With bone coloured skin and flowers in your hair.
If it's not too much, I would love to see you there.
With bone coloured skin and flowers in your hair.

You can be my woman, you can take the water.

benjamin francis leftwich - pictures

If you crash your car into,
Your best friends house,
Would you be quiet as,
Words come out of their mouth.

Stop..... dont do it
I have been waiting for it,
Stop..... I knew it would come.

If you find a god next to,
Your girlfriends bed,
Would it be hard to,
Sort out your spinning head.

Stop.... dont say that dear,
That you wanted him here,
Stop.... dont give him a clear.

Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them.

If you are afraid dont be,
I have the whole thing planned,
Weâ??ll start in the ocean baby,
And when we find the land,
We will be thankful to,
All of our friends,
That they didnt leave us,
As we got to the end.

Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them.

If you find your faith in,
Your parents god,
Dont be so quick to,
Point out the flaws in it.

Youve been around and youve seen,
The way that things work,
But you need a compass to,
Get around your house.

benjamin francis leftwich - see you soon

When you were young
You lost on everyone
Then you closed your eyes
And said your goodbyes

In a year
Or ten, I will be there
I will come for you
When you are on your own

On a chair
In a room with no one else
I will touch your hand
And say I understand

What we lost
Is equal to the cause
Of my skin on yours
And say you want it back

If you get time
Come back and be mine
If you pass by
I will see you in the sky
I hope that youâ??re told
I was young, now Iâ??m old
If you pass by
I will see you in the sky

Now in the dark,
Youâ??re a light without a spark
In a car you drive back home
To see your friends

While you say
That everytime you pay
You were broke because
Your love has got away

Youâ??re the one
That fires off your gun
Then catches all the fire
When youâ??re done

Are you sure
That you have won this war?
â??Cause I heard you say
That this is our day

If you get time
Come back and be mine
If you pass by
I will see you in the sky
I hope that youâ??re told
I was young, now Iâ??m old
If you pass by
I will see you in the sky

Iâ??ll see you soon
Iâ??ll see you soon
Iâ??ll see you soon
You know

If you get time
Come back and be mine
If you pass by
I will see you in the sky
I hope that youâ??re told
I was young, now Iâ??m old
If you pass by
I will see you in the sky

benjamin francis leftwich - shine

I could live in a different place with a different house and a different name
I could sing you your favourite song, yeah you'd sing along, you'd sing along
I could wrap you in your favourite clothes and kiss your face just so you know
That I'm the one who has got your back, now turn around and don't be sad

I hope you find the love that's true, so the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for, so your heart is warm for ever more

I could fly you away with me to the furthest place you'll ever be
We could smoke â??til the sun goes down and without a sound, without a sound
We'd fall asleep by the big blue sea, with open eyes so we could see
The way it shines for you and I, you know it'll shine until we fly

I hope you find the love that's true, so the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for, so your heart is warm for ever more

I could wait with you by the water
I could wait with you for the winter to come
I could stand with you with your snow boots on

I hope you find the love that's true, so the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for, so your heart is warm for ever more
I hope you find what you're looking for, so your heart is warm for ever more

benjamin francis leftwich - snowship

I was only looking for the treasure in the dark
But the trees and people in the middle of the park
But the treasure's buried beneath years and years of time

He put his hand in my hand and he told me
"Son, when they all come looking for you
Where are you gonna run? Your heart's running up
To the eyes in your head, are thrashing by"

Be careful what you wish for when you're young
Be careful what you wish for when you're young

The sun is dealing with the devil and he took my soul
To a room with the table in the dark end cold
I signed my name just to say, lies a dog on the line before

I was in the middle of the cliff and the sea
With a ditch right behind me that the bitch couldn't see
She came right at me with tears
And a dress ans they both fell off

Be careful what you wish for when you're young
Be careful what you wish for when you're young

benjamin francis leftwich - sophie

Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know.
When I pulled it down, it settled on the ground.
Caught a bird and in a trap, had a lot to give back.
When the sun came by you opened up your eyes.

Oh brother, will you let me in again?
Oh sister, I will stumble in again.
Oh Sophie, will you be my good friend?
Oh Sophie will you be here in the end?

Then you whispered in my ear, "I am lost but you're here."
As the scene unfolded, truth got moved away.
Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know.
When I pulled it down, it flew from the ground.

Oh brother, will you let me in again?
Oh sister, I will stumble in again.
Oh Sophie, will you be my good friend?
Oh Sophie, will you be here in the end?

Even though the scene was never golden.
All the while you're bones are gotten frozen.
You stood still.

Oh brother, will you let me in again?
Oh sister, I will stumble in again.
Oh Sophie, will you be my good friend?
Oh Sophie, will you be here in the end?

benjamin francis leftwich - stole you away

There was a boat in a sea I knew
Couldn't believe what I saw was true
I swam out through the waves
I caught it as it moved away

I said I'd stole you away
I said I'd stole you away
Next time I'll steal you away
Next time I'll steal you, darling, you stay

There was a change
In the way you breathe
I couldn't believe
You would change for me

And if you hear the sound
Of shooting stars
Protect your heart 'cause it burns bright
Can turns back around

I said I'd stole you away
I said I'd stole you away
Next time I'll steal you away
Next time I'll steal you, darling, you stay

High strung your soul
It's uncovered by the leaving
And the things that you see

You spent so long running
But there's nothing coming
Turn around and run into me

I said I'd stole you away
I said I'd stole you away
Next time I'll steal you away
Next time I'll steal you, darling, you stay

benjamin francis leftwich - the boat

Wherever you are
Floating on a boat or on a star

Whatever you do
Every time we touch you move

You have different eyes
For every time your heart arrives

I want you to sigh
It's alright

I am a fine lift swimming you are the line
If this was a new land, darling
You'd be the find
I wanted to keep you close
Make you mine
If this was a moon land, darling
You'd be the find

Wherever you go
All the different places you know

Whatever you hear
All the things you needed are hear

It is a different heat
To all the other things that you meet

So don't close the door...

I am a you are the line
If this was a moon land, darling
You'd be the find
I wanted to keep you close
Make you mine
If this was a moon land, darling
You'd be the find

I know it's hard to be calm in a storm
I know it's hard when your heart is
I know you tried to work it all out, now

I am a swimming you are the line
If this was a moon land, darling
You'd be the find
I wanted to keep you close,
Make you mine
If this was a new land, darling
You'd be the find
