So Long 04:07
I am standing on a hill I am looking all around I have so much time to kill I am neither lost nor found Chorus: I have never been this far I have never been this far I have never been away so long So long All my dreams begin to fade All my wishes turn to dust All my memories mislaid All my riches left to rust Who are all these people here? Who is knocking on my door? Can I run and disappear? Do I want this anymore?

When the leaves are not falling and the sea never ends and you hear the summer calling then it's time to make amends Rolling along in the strawberry sun Rolling along in the strawberry sun Rolling along in the strawberry sun When you know you've been squandering all the chances that you've had Let the breeze take you wandering and you may not feel so sad When the days are much colder and you wonder where you've been Took a look over your shoulder and remember what you've seen
3.
We take our leave and walk away though there is no place to go Move in shadows under skies darker than we know And in our minds we understand what the future has in store Still we turn our eyes towards the hope we're looking for Every lonely road reveals a symphony of light Feeling every movement as I turn this wheel tonight Over the horizon there is only doubt and fear But still I keep on driving and the destination's near After all is said and done we live we die Don't ask why After all is said and done there's no goodbye Don't ask why Now the questions fade away leaving not a trace Somewhere in the distance is a shining state of grace But no-one needs to look too hard to see inside the shell It's nothing unfamiliar and we know it all too well

Soft Landing 05:35
One hundred thousand miles Into a sky of endless blue I see the clouds below But they will never spoil my view Descending vapour trails The ones that fell before they flew Gravity might let you go But it's always there to let you know It's time to clear your mind A soft landing is hard to find Two hundred days on board Wish I knew how to steer this thing But I'm not in control I call but no-one's answering I'm staring at the ground The sunlight shines upon the wing Gravity is on your side But it always comes along for the ride So watch the seatbelt sign A soft landing is hard to find

Fly 03:55

Everybody's after me I don't know why it has to be I'm not going anywhere I only have this thought to share that You know you haven't got it right Yeah, you know you haven't got it right Somersaults in twisted fields I know the competition yields Somewhere in the shade I hide But this is not an easy ride and You know you haven't got it right Yeah, you know you haven't got it right All the numbers add up wrong I won't stay where I don't belong But I'm OK I've done my time And maybe I'm still in my prime but You know you haven't got it right Yeah, you know you haven't got it right So take your time and make your mark A revolution needs a spark It's hard to tell if this is real I only know the truth I feel that You know you haven't got it right Yeah, you know you haven't got it right You know and I know and you know and I know And who knows where all the time goes?

These Days 04:39
Wake at the same crack of morning and gaze at the dawn of another day Under the blink of an eye watch the hours go by and the feeling drifts away Isn't anything worth it these days? Isn't anything worth it these days? These days Pacing the streets and the markets in search of a spark It's at reach but never there Running to hide from the rain feel that moment again as it falls from everywhere Isn't anything worth it these days? Isn't anything worth it these days? These days But underneath the ground There's always something waiting to be found And even though the golden ages fade Is it all as bad as it's portrayed these days?
8.
There are faces you don't see Places you will never be Lives you struggle to ignore You've got a lot to answer for Walking underneath a cloud Facing outwards from the crowd You don't come round anymore You've got a lot to answer for It's a matter of time And the thoughts in your mind Will not leave you far behind In the shadows In the corners of your head Words that should have gone unsaid All the dreams you never saw You've got a lot to answer for No-one knows that you are here No-one saw you disappear Leave the room and bolt the door You've got a lot to answer for
9.
On wings of steel we glide Drawn towards the sound Over land and sea We never touch the ground So this is how it feels to dream No need to feel afraid Fate can never spoil the plans we've laid As the miles fall Anticipation grows The iron horse we ride Is steady as she goes So this is where the journey ends No need to look away So much more to see, another day Keep me in your mind Don't let the memory fade The years can never close Connections that were made So this is where we are today No need to think too much All we need to do is keep in touch
