Magpies 03:39
lyrics

Tell me girl how did I catch your eye? Was it the luck of seeing you count all of these magpies? You say one for sorrow, two for joy, You say three for a girl, four for a boy. Take it easy girl we’ve only just met, But I’ve got the feeling I’ll be seeing more of you yet. ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of, ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of. Tell me girl where did you get that laugh? Is it the jokes I’ve made or you're laughing cause they’re naff? Well ou say five for silver, six for gold, You say seven for secrets never told. Tell me secrets girl and I’ll never tell a soul, I’ve got the feeling together we’ll be growing old. ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of, ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of. If we were birds, I’d always fly so high, By your side, If we were birds, I’d always fly so high, By your side. How are you so beautiful yet kind? Your eyes could light the fires in the night. You say eight for a wish and nine for a kiss, You say ten for a bird you never wanna miss. ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of, ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of. If we were birds, I’d always fly so high, By your side, If we were birds, I’d always fly so high, By your side. ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of, ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of. ‘Cause this is easy and this is love, No there’s nothing I can be more sure of, ‘Cause this is easy and this is love.

Let's Fill Our Hearts 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Our eyes are taking the greatest pictures, Developed tightly inside our hearts. But what happens when we forget them? Our ears hear the loudest noises, Creating images inside our minds, But it’s the feelings that we remember in our lives. Lets fill our hearts with memories we love, But let’s never forget where we came from, I know we’ll make it, Let’s not forget this, Let’s fill our hearts with memories we love. Our hands are making the strangest textures, With substance collected in years gone by. But what happens when there’s nothing left to find? Lets fill our hearts with memories we love, But let’s never forget where we came from, I know we’ll make it, Let’s not forget this, Let’s fill our hearts with memories we love. Our eyes are taking the greatest pictures, Developed tightly inside our hearts, But just remember we can never go back to the start. Lets fill our hearts with memories we love, But let’s never forget where we came from, I know we’ll make it, Let’s not forget this, Let’s fill our hearts with memories we love.

Without You (Memories of Henry Macandrew) 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Why do we just take it all for granted? Until the moment it’s too late. I just wanna say, You meant a lot to me, And everyone you ever met. I’m not letting go of you, ‘Cause I know you’re watching over us, I’m not letting go of you, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, Without you. You told me many times to keep quiet, When you gave another gift to me, You said noddies meaning pound, I still remember the smell of deep heat when we came around, Oh I wish it was now. I’m not letting go of you, ‘Cause I know you’re watching over us, I’m not letting go of you, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, Without you, Without you. I remember the times when we would laugh together, I remember the times when you would sit and watch the boats go by, I wish I could rewind the times to when I was younger, So I could see you again. I’m not letting go of you, ‘Cause I know you’re watching over us, I’m not letting go of you, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, I’m not letting go of you, ‘Cause I know you’re watching over us, I’m not letting go of you, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, But it hurts so much, Without you, Without you, Without you.

Hearts Away From Home 04:12
lyrics

Let’s go and see it all I wanna share this with you, To places we’ve heard about. Lets make our journey far away from what we’re used to, Lets go, hearts away from home. Let’s pack the car and get away, I wanna see that smile on your face. Cause all we’ve seen is rainy days and there’s happy memories to be made. Yeah we can drive so far, you and I, Yeah we could be so high, in the sky. Let’s go and see it all I wanna share this with you, To places we’ve heard about. Lets make our journey far away from what we’re used to, Lets go, hearts away from home. Let’s change today instead of feeling like every day is basically the same, We can leave right now. Oh, there’s planes and trains and buses ready, Just pack your bags and we can drive away, away. Yeah we can drive so far, you and I, Yeah we could be so high, in the sky. Let’s go and see it all I wanna share this with you, To places we’ve heard about. Lets make our journey far away from what we’re used to, Lets go, hearts away from home, from home. When we’re driving alone you and me who knows where we’ll go, Who knows where we’ll go. When we’re flying over the sea, who knows where we’ll go, Who knows where we’ll go. Let’s go and see it all I wanna share this with you, To places we’ve heard about. Lets make our journey far away from what we’re used to, Lets go, hearts away from home. Let’s go and see it all I wanna share this with you, To places we’ve heard about. Lets make our journey far away from what we’re used to, Lets go, hearts away from home. Let’s go and see it all I wanna share this with you, To places we’ve heard about. Lets make our journey far away from what we’re used to, Lets go, hearts away from home.

I'm Alive 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Well sometimes we wanna forget about the world, Until we realise there’s more to life than hurt. Oh sometimes we wanna scream the words out loud, But even when we shout nothing comes out. She makes me realise, I’m alive. She makes me see myself, through her eyes. And there’s nothing we can say, To stop the heart from aching, And there’s nothing we can do. Well sometimes it seems that everything is going okay, Until it comes back around again like it was yesterday. And when we feel all that pressure deep inside, Just know the smartest thing to do is not to hide. She makes me realise, I’m alive. She makes me see myself, through her eyes. And there’s nothing we can say, To stop the heart from aching, And there’s nothing we can do. And I’ve always been one to hold my head up high, You’ll never see me run, run away. She makes me realise, I’m alive. She makes me see myself, through her eyes. She makes me realise, I’m alive. She makes me see myself, through her eyes. And there’s nothing we can say, To stop the heart from aching, And there’s nothing we can do.

We'll See The Sun 03:40

I borrowed your heart for some time now, You showed me the places that no-one else knows about. You’re stuckdeep inside in my mind now, This feeling I cant forget about. No, but Together with open arms we’ll unite, I know we could be this way for life, You showed me more than just the stars at night, Together we’ll see the sun beginning to rise. I borrowed your heart for some time now, You never asked me for anything in return, You say it’s a gift I’m yours somehow, This feeling I cant forget about. No, but Together with open arms we’ll unite, I know we could be this way for life, You showed me more than just the stars at night, Together we’ll see the sun beginning to rise, Together we’ll see the sun beginning to rise. I guess you read about love, ‘Cause you know the words to say, Oh you’re something from above, ‘Cause loving you is easy, yeah. I borrowed your heart for some time now, You trusted me to take care of it for life. I promise to love it and that’s my vow, This feeling I cant forget about. No, but Together with open arms we’ll unite, I know we could be this way for life, You showed me more than just the stars at night, Together we’ll see the sun beginning to rise. Together with open arms we’ll unite, I know we could be this way for life, You showed me more than just the stars at night, Together we’ll see the sun beginning to rise, Together we’ll see the sun beginning to rise.

Before I sleep tonight, there’s something on my mind, Singing lullabies to you. I hope you’ve got my eyes, and Mummy’s beautiful smile, Your sisters talented mind too. Oh we can’t wait to meet you. Can’t believe you’re mine. Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So you will hear my voice inside, Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So when you cry this voice you’ll recognise. I felt you move around, but I never believed in butterflies, You changed it all that night. And for me, you made a place in my heart already, And when you arrive I’ll never let you go. Oh we can’t wait to meet you. Can’t believe you’re growing inside. Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So you will hear my voice inside, Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So when you cry this voice you’ll recognise. And when you’re born our lives will change, But I can’t wait, I never thought that love could feel this way. And when you’re born our lives will change, But I can’t wait, I never thought that love could feel this way. Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So you will hear my voice inside, Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So when you cry this voice you’ll recognise. Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So you will hear my voice inside, Oh, every night I’ll sing to you, So when you cry this voice you’ll recognise.

Face The Day 03:53
lyrics

Have you ever fell so deep inside yourself? And you’ve yet to climb the wall back to the top. Have you ever felt so numb? But declined the help, Just couldn’t take the hand of someone? And there’s no way we can make this on our own, And there’s nowhere to run. And there’s no way we can make this on our own, Oh, Cause you don’t need to hide away from anyone, If you just hold out your hand and together we can face the day, Face the day, yeah. Have you ever fell so deep inside yourself? And you keep waking up forgetting who you are. You don’t have to face darkness or be afraid, Asking for help is always the hardest part. And there’s no way we can make this on our own, And there’s nowhere to run. And there’s no way we can make this on our own, Oh, ‘Cause you don’t need to hide away from anyone, If you just hold out your hand and together we can face the day, Face the day, yeah. And if we hold our heads up high and take the world head on, And If you wanna touch the sky I promise you we can, I promise you we can, I promise you we can. ‘Cause you don’t need to hide away from anyone, If you just hold out your hand and together we can face the day, Face the day, Cause you don’t need to hide away from anyone, If you just hold out your hand and together we can face the day.

Our Own Fairytale 04:09
lyrics

They say love don’t last forever, A fairytale’s a lie. I can spend the day looking in your eyes, I can spend the night here with you, That’s what lovers do, Yeah that’s what lovers do. You said hold me close don’t ever let me go, Because there’s nowhere else I’d rather be, And the night is over before we know, All I want to remember is you and me. They say love don’t last forever, A fairytale’s a lie. But yet we still stand together, So I believe they’re wrong this time, So I believe they’re wrong this time. I can spend the day anywhere with you, I can spend the night under the stars, ‘Cause that’s what lovers do, Yeah that’s what lovers do. You said hold me close don’t ever go away, Because there’s somewhere else that we could be, And when the night is over we’ll make a new day, So all that we remember is you and me. They say love don’t last forever, A fairytale’s a lie. But yet we still stand together, So I believe they’re wrong this time, So I believe they’re wrong this time. So when we prove them wrong, And these hearts are beating on, Connected by our own fairytale. And the crowds will play our song, And the words will be about our love. I can spend the day looking in your eyes, I can spend the night here with you. They say love don’t last forever, A fairytale’s a lie. But yet we still stand together, So I believe they’re wrong this time. They say love don’t last forever, A fairytale's a lie. But yet we still stand together, So I believe they’re wrong this time, So I believe they’re wrong this time.

In The Skies 04:10
lyrics

There’s a place we go, Where no-one knows, It’s in the skies, Where loved ones roam, Just watching over us, They’re in the skies. The rainy days, The tears they’ve cried, From the skies. Beyond our dreams, It’s a place for heroes, It’s in the skies. It’s in the skies. Can you see beyond your eyes? It’s not the end after you’re gone, Don’t believe there’s nothing that follows, Our heroes do live on. When the dark of the sky seems to scare you, And the air that you breathe doesn’t help you Don’t believe there’s nothing that follows, Our heroes do live on. There’s a place we go but if people can’t see it, Then they don’t believe it, It’s in the skies. And the only reason that I believe it, I can hear them cheering, It’s in the skies. It’s in the skies. Can you see beyond your eyes? It’s not the end after you’re gone, Don’t believe there’s nothing that follows, Our heroes do live on. When the dark of the sky seems to scare you, And the air that you breathe doesn’t help you Don’t believe there’s nothing that follows, Our heroes do live on. Oh when we reach the break of day, They’re opening their arms, The darkest skies are turning grey, And it’s our heroes in the stars. There’s a place we go, Where no-one knows, It’s in the skies. Can you see beyond your eyes? It’s not the end after you’re gone, Don’t believe there’s nothing that follows, Our heroes do live on. When the dark of the sky seems to scare you, And the air that you breathe doesn’t help you Don’t believe there’s nothing that follows, Our heroes do live on.

The Best Of Everything 03:51
lyrics

Teach me everything, Fill my mind with words, Don’t just hide my eyes, From the world. Show me right from wrong, Things we all forget, How to speak my mind, To learn from our regrets. But if I fall asleep, Before I close my eyes. Just know that I have made the best of everything, But there’s always more to learn about, If we could only just reach out, I guess our lives would just turn around, But if I fall asleep I’ll never realise. Just teach me how to love, Even if it breaks my heart, Show me brighter times, When everything seems dark. Just show me how to feel, When people break me down, How to stand my ground, When others run away. But if I fall asleep, Before I close my eyes. Just know that I have made the best of everything, But there’s always more to learn about, If we could only just reach out, I guess our lives would just turn around, But if I fall asleep I’ll never realise. But if I fall asleep, Before I close my eyes. Just know that I have made the best of everything, But there’s always more to learn about, If we could only just reach out, I guess our lives would just turn around, But if I fall asleep I’ll never realise. Don’t let others drag you down, I guess its easier to say, Take the lessons you have learnt, And be the greatest you can be. Teach me everything, Fill my soul with pride, So I can share this gift, With others needing life. But if I fall asleep, Before I close my eyes. Just know that I have made the best of everything, But there’s always more to learn about, If we could only just reach out, I guess our lives would just turn around, But if I fall asleep I’ll never realise.

I’ve been climbing the wall of life to find, You’re standing at the top. I’ve been blind oh so blind left to try, But you’re hands they pull me up. Oh she moves me now, Oh she moves me now. I’ve been falling from highest heights, In my mind, But you save me every time. I was scared oh so scared in the night, ‘Till you told me its alright. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. I’ve been praying for the time to come always, Oh my heart is yours to keep, Yeah there’s something abut our love, That brings me to my knees. Oh she moves me now, Oh she moves me now. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. You told me long ago, I would always know, That I’m gonna never be alone. You told me long long ago, I would always know, That I’m gonna never be alone. Oh she moves me now, Oh she moves me now. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. Oh we run and laugh, In the rain we are dancing, Wrote our names in the sand, Hand in hand we found the answer. We found the answer.

Follow My Faith 04:11

Now I’m walking through the door, With rays of sunshine on my face, I swear that I’ve been here before, A different town but yet the same. As I follow the dream, As I follow my faults, As I follow my faith, Well I’m still holding on as I walk out the door. I hold my head up to the sky, I walk around in circles, But I just cannot let life pass me by, There’s so many things I need to do. As I follow the dream, As I follow my faults, As I follow my faith, Well I’m still holding on as I walk out the door. Follow, I’m holding on, I’m holding on, I’m holding on. Follow, I’m holding on, I’m holding on, I’m holding on. As I follow the dream, As I follow my faults, As I follow my faith, Well I’m still holding on as I walk out the door, Well I’m still holding on as I walk out the door.

It wasn’t ‘till I found, you right in front of me. It’s like I fell into the ocean (nearly fell into the ocean) You pulled me from the wreck, when it was hard to breathe, You saw the lost emotion. You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said. I’d never let you drown, that’s what you said to me, And I feel your devotion. Together we will float in life like its a dream, Our love is set in motion. You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said. And I couldn’t hold your hand, and make this right, The tide was high, and you changed my life, And then you said to me, stay in my arms. And I couldn’t hold your hand, and make this right, The tide was high, and you changed my life, And then you said to me, stay in my arms. You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said. You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You said, You’d hold me in your arms forever, You’d hold me in your arms forever.

I met you when you were three, You took a hold a hold on me, And we laughed and you cried and I held you tightly, And I held your hand when you were poorly. And you said I am your dad, I said I’ll never let you go, I’ll never let you go, never ever no, And you said I am your dad, I said I’ll never let you go, I’ll never let you go, never ever no. I sang you sunshine on my knee, And there were days with just Cbeebies, And we laughed and you cried and I held you tightly, And I held your hand when you were poorly. And you said I am your dad, I said I’ll never let you go, I’ll never let you go, never ever no, And you said I am your dad, I said I’ll never let you go, Never let you go, never ever no. Oh even when I’m grey and old, Oh there’s something you should know, That even when I’m grey and old, I’ll never let you go. Never let you go. And you said I am your dad, I said I’ll never let you go, I’ll never let you go, never ever no, And you said I am your dad, I said I’ll never let you go, Never let you go, never ever no. I’ll never let you go, never ever no. I’ll never let you go, never ever no.
