Watered Down Man

Well I'm two parts water and I'm three parts sin
When evening comes I'll be back again
What beast will this crescent bring
I'm two parts water water and I'm three parts sin
Well this whiskey coat hides a man inside
He's a whisper in a weak man's final sigh
But he'll tell you that he's alright
Yeah this whiskey coat hides a man inside
Ooh, Ooh
I'm never gonna hold you like you want me to
you know I won't
Cause I'm just a watered down man in a whiskey coat
Well I saw her outside The Retreat Hotel
Through foggy eyes but I saw her still
A girl with a soul to sell
She's heard the Devil lives down at The Retreat Hotel
Well I'm two parts water and I'm three parts sin
But don't mistake me for the state I'm in
One day it may be what's been
But for now I'm two parts water and I'm three parts sin

If you see this light, it's a house that's meant for more
One less pillow on my bed, from the war of the night before
And it doesn't feel right, to spend tonight inside alone
I'll stand on the corner for a while, hoping she comes back home
Until then I'll judge the age of stars,
and guess their whereabouts to where you are
And though they're not shining over me,
I hope they're over you and lighting up this dark
Have you seen this girl, on the posters here and there
In neon lights and coloured flyers, she's not smiling like back then
Until then I'll judge the age of clouds,
and guess their whereabouts to where you stand
And if the thunder sounds your night,
And fill your sky with light I'll hold your hand
Until then I'll judge the age of stars,
and guess their whereabouts to where you are
And though they're not shining over me,
I hope they're over you and lighting up this dark
Until then I'll hide inside my dreams,
alone under the sheets here on the floor
Hoping you're somewhere out there looking for a light
of the house that's meant for more

Robin

To my Robin, Queen of the night
May the morning bring light to your breast
And the fire that’s inside
May your wings be forever unbroken
And sing whenever you’re spoken to
Robin, Queen of the night
To my Robin, Queen of the season
May they all hear your call from afar
Their own voice of reason
Take your heart to every stage
In the half-light colour their greys
Oh my robin, Queen of the season
To my Robin, in far-away skies
May you always remember me here,
But don’t look behind
May I hear your song on the wind
May the sun set and rise on your wings
Oh my Robin,
Oh my Robin, in far away skies

Maybe You Were Right

Maybe I'm not being honest
Maybe honesty is gone
When all is said and done,
Maybe we stood no chance at all
Maybe I'm still getting over
Maybe I'm over giving in
What if to arrive
I why I leave time and time again
Maybe this old house gets lonely
Maybe I won't let you in
Maybe you were right
Maybe I only lie awake at night
Cause you're on my mind
And I won't admit to much
And just for a while
Cause I won't be here long, no I won't be here long
Maybe you were right
Maybe I only lie awake at night
Cause you're on my mind
Maybe I'm not being honest
Maybe honesty is gone
When all is said and done
Maybe you were right all along

Meet Me There

Meet me where, you see grey
Where the weeds in your garden have strayed
Where you dared not to venture in vain
Meet me there
Meet me where, you’re unheard
Where cries hold a past undeserved
Where you’ve tried but you can’t find the words
Meet me there
Meet me where, you can’t stand
Where you drown in the depths of dry land
I’m not a stranger you know who I am
So, meet me where it all falls down
Meet me where, you’re afraid
Oh, where a piece of your heart still remains
Where you dared not mention their name
Meet me and we’ll both go and venture in vain
Just meet me where it all
Meet me where it all
Meet me where it all falls down
Take me as I am cause I am right now
Hold me like it all burns away in my arms
And hold me like you hold me if your lungs gave out
Meet me where it all
Meet me where it all
