to find you
when i was needing company
when i was needing company
when there was no one needing me
when there was no one needing me
well i went out to find you
i went out to find you
when i thought i had lost you
when i thought i had lost you
when i couldn't forget you
when i couldn't forget you
well i went out to find you
i went out to find you
when you said you had stayed too long
when you said you had stayed too long
when all the world was moving on
when all the world was moving on
well i went out to find you
i went out to find you
well i went out to find you
i went out to find you
-
in the morning
this place will go on without me
i'll miss the leaves that fall
and sometimes i will doubt that they
remember me at all
well once it seemed like i knew you
though that was long ago
and once i felt mine was a hand
that you would always hold
and in the morning
when the light hits your face
will you think of me fondly
and remember the place
where we once loved
where we once loved
may you always find what you seek
and never want for more
and if i may ask one thing of you
will you remember me at all?
and in the morning
when the light hits your face
will you think of me fondly
and remember the place
where we once loved
where we once loved

stay darling
her:
i'm not long for this city, i wish i could stay
but you always knew that i'd leave, didn't you?
this place would look pretty, all covered in snow
but you always knew that i'd leave, didn't you?
when the storm comes to town and the roads turn to rivers
i'll pack up my bag and sail away
chorus:
stay darling, stay
stay darling, stay
him:
the water will take me, and wash me way
and we always knew that was how it would be
the sun will replace me, the comfort you need
and we always knew that was how it would be
when the storm comes to town and the roads turn to rivers
i'll pack up my bag and sail away
chorus
in the quiet of the day what do you think about?
in the quiet of the night do you think about me?
in the quiet of the day what do you think about?
in the quiet of the night do you think about me?
chorus
her:
i'm not long for this city
i wish i could stay
-
one of these days
oh if this tree were only older
it would hide you from the storm
that's on its way
and if this heart were only braver
it would save you from this trouble
that calls your name
one of these days
when it seems there is nothing more
one of these days
you'll find what you're searching for
oh if these arms were any stronger
they'd hold you here with me
through the night
and if this night were any longer
i'd stay until you close
close your eyes
one of these days
when it seems there is nothing more
one of these days
you'll find what you're searching for
-
won’t be long
well day by day and hour by hour
as minutes come and go
i've wondered if there's more to life
than what i've got to show
of all the people that ever lived
beneath this hallowed sun
what are the odds that i find you
and you would be the one
and you would be the one
chorus:
him: shooting flares at the night, hoping you'd see me
shouting out at the sky, hoping you'd hear me
her: stay where you are and i'll find you
i'm meant to be right beside you
them: won't be long, won’t be long now
won't be long, won’t be long now
as the sun drops from our eyes
so much that's still unclear
but we can see the whole world
from all the way up here
of all the songs i ever wrote
of all the lines i read
yours is the sweetest voice i've heard
that echoes in my head
that echoes in my head
chorus
her: i will guide you
him: you will find me here
her: here's my light to lead you here
chorus
-
you rolled in
on the darkest night with you, with you
oh those winds they blew
we all tumbled down when our ark ran aground
there was nothing to hold but you
chorus him:
oh, you rolled in on a wave
and so you came to me
yeah, you rolled in on a wave
and you'll roll out just the same
this craft was the life of you, of you
and the waters it led us through
but on that dreadful night as it slipped from our sight
there was nothing hold but you
chorus him
chorus her:
we're nothing, till we learn
to hold our breath then let it go
let the air rush like a flood
and let it fill our hollow bones
the sea knows what we once knew, once knew
the stars mark our struggle too
still we know we believe in the things we don't see
when there's nothing to hold but you
chorus him
chorus her
i'm already out to sea
what's another mile between us
i've drifted out of reach
what's another mile between
chorus him
chorus her
-
find our way
from gentle cradle to resting place
we're searching eyes and seeking hearts
we're looking for a warm embrace
to make a home beneath the stars
that casts a light into the dark
that casts a light into the dark
as distant galaxies fill the sky
we find ourselves beneath the moon
the glowing coals begin to light
we stay and watch the fire bloom
we know the light will reach us soon
we know the light will reach us soon
chorus:
i see your eyes, i see your heart
and mine belong to you
show me your eyes lift up your heart
we'll find our way home through the dark
we'll find our way home through the dark
our memories turning to blackest black
we watch them fade until they're gone
when we've grown tired of looking back
we lay the past where it belongs
but we will always sing our song
and we will always sing our song
chorus
the time has come that we must leave
the fire dies, we hum a prayer
to all that we hope we can be
as floating embers fill the air
and you can always find me there
and you can always find me there
chorus
-
beat of my heart
there was a time when i had it all
and now i don't know where it went
i've fallen so far, my courage is spent
and it feels like i'm falling again
chorus:
oh will you be the beat of my heart
i need to know that you're there
oh will you be the beat of my heart
i need to know that you're there
you made a home where the dark had grown
defeated, afraid to begin
your knees had grown weak, now you're back on your feet
begging to let the light in
chorus
so we gather up hope and we find our faith
with love to steady our mark
time doesn't wait, but it's never too late
to rise and make a start
chorus
all that i wanted is you
here in this moment only you
nobody said it was easy
chorus
-
come to my rescue
remember the time when we walked in the light
of that old october sun
we talked about all of the trouble we found
and the reckless things we'd done
well when did you know that you never could give me
all that i wanted you to?
and when did you see that i'd never admit to
how much i cared for you?
chorus:
come to rescue
darling i need you
take me away from here
i gave it my best
but it wasn't enough
oh take me away from here
well i tried to find you a reason to stay
but you'd heard it all before
so you took your time and i gave you your space
i can't give you anymore
it's been a hard year we went different ways
and how we both have grown
now you're nowhere near me but here's where you should be
i need you to come home
chorus
well absence makes the heart grow stronger
but your love makes my heart grow fonder
if i called out tonight
would you come to me?
chorus
-
this is your home
all that's above us is all that's above
the stars and their light
the mantle of night
all that's between us is all that's between
the secrets unsaid
the thoughts in our heads
this is your home now, this is your home
we are at home now, we are at home
all that's below us is all that's below
the summer sea calm
your palm in my palm
all that we know now is all that we know
one thing that's true
it always was you
this is your home now, this is your home
we are at home now, we are at home
this is your home now, this is your home
we are at home now, we are at home
