How long till the sun will show? And how long till the heartache will go? 'Cause I've been waiting so long, so very long How do you feel now? That home where you dreamed the walls They had fallen and crumbled to dust Well I found it So I'd remember how it feels to dream Not so long ago That's how I feel, how do you feel now? I should learn to let go And leave these crazy dreams far away That's how I feel, how do you feel now?

Sonic Fields 03:17
Oh, laiden down I have come from that hole in the mind, black and wide I hear a music in the air Fragrance plays in her hair, it brings me home I never knew how far I had roamed Laid down in the field of sound As the band plays on, will you never leave me The feel of rain, that dries beneath the sun In the field as the band plays on Will you come away with me for the summer I'll drive And we'll travel to the festivals And lay down in the field of sound, as the band plays on Will you never leave me for all my days And lie beneath the sun in the field, as the band plays on And as we live in love and freedom In the fields Under sonic waves I'm home

Tall and beautiful was the Maid of Sker How she loved to dance at the Maudlam fayre Till the year a harpist of great renown Enchanted the maiden, and lovers they soon became Her father became aware And locked her away in a rage Till the summer had cast it's shade The pain in her heart it never did reside And through the gulls of the shoreline Her spirit will always cry
4.
Oh, the sun was high And the valley was dry The white sand felt like powder Beneath our feet, leading down to the bay I can still see the moment when I close my eyes Even though years go by Oh, her hair was wild Such a sunchild Her colours drifted like perfume around my mind Would we become entwined? I can still feel the wonder of how it would turn out that day Leading down to the bay
5.
Web Jewels 02:50
By the turning stile I would wait a while And in the dawnlight dew That spider's web would shine If words they were leaves "Would you marry me?" I'd hear them calling In the rustle of the breeze Web jewels catch the rays Higher than the sun And in the dawnlight dew Our feet step as one
6.
Neap Tide 03:08
I came looking and I found here Didn't mean to be late, I got caught on the way Can't see further than the neap tide And power it fades in the reckoning of time I'm feeling the way to a new day It's been a year today Low down, I've been deeper in jail Know it seems to be late, I got caught on the way I've been dreaming I never turned away And we made a new day No leaving, reason to All pain washed away
7.
On the conifer side of the mountain Waiting for summer to come My feelings, they wander free Like the gossamer thread finds the late sunrays Now my memories come I will believe in you When the sun falls just right I can see us gleam in the light Oh how like rivers we run Into the ocean free To choose the path we lead I'll meet you down by the shore And when the sun is just right I will see the truth Dawnbreaker Wavemaker You (know you are a) Dawnbreaker, Wavemaker, You
8.
Afterglow 02:44
Homecoming soul I've been in confusion over it all Hear me I've been running back over it all In the afterglow I've seen the whole image start to form As it truly is I've seen my life from up above With the time to realise it is gold I've seen the whole image start to form I've been over it all
9.
Wind the coastal path The wind had blown the trees toward the land How you held those skies In obsidian evening eyes Deeper than the ocean I ride to your shore Wade in too deep I cannot find my ground Now the day draws near The light moves within Over the hill we roam In each other's thought Are we in too deep And cannot find the shore?
10.
Came down to the river To collect my thoughts In the rain down leaves upon the reeds along the bank (it said) "I see your need Will you be free Now the rain down your window Leaves a lonely trail Freedom at the cost of a solitary way I see your need Will you be free Now the sound of the ocean lives in your dream, Sound of the breeze on mountain stream" I couldn't hear you Though how I tried Lord how I tried
