Katie lived beside the sea
Planted plum and apple trees
Watched the waves on the shore each day
Prayed for calm, send the storms away
Katie, Katie
Waiting for the catch to come
From the deep when the days were long
Walked for miles on the shingle strand
Collected treasures in her hands
Katie, Katie
They planted bombs on the beach
Then the sea was out of reach
Sent the fisherfolk away
Katie knew she'd be back some day
Katie, Katie
Where the garden grows
Where the tide it flows
Where the fishes leap
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love
Wrote letters troubled on the train
For to come back again
Open up the salt street door
Feel the wind and the waves once more
Katie, Katie
Home was at Shingle Street
Where wind and waves come to meet
Watching tide and sky each hour
Watch the garden grow and flower
Katie, Katie
Where the garden grows
Where the tide it flows
Where the fishes leap
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love

Gravity

Now the day is coming to its end,
There’s no heat left in the sun.
The world, it turns to shadow,
The long night has begun.
And everything is ending,
And you’re juggling hope with fear,
Because gravity is all that holds you here.
Gravity is all that holds you here.
The harmonies begin to fade
Til there’s only a gentle hum.
The beat is losing its rhythm,
There’s no more voice in the drum.
The last note of the music
Rings out so still and clear,
And gravity is all that holds you here,
Gravity is all that holds you here.
And when your story comes full circle,
And a new peace you have found,
You’re heading up towards that sky,
Your feet have already left the ground,
Well I will hold on fast to you,
So you don’t float away and disappear,
When gravity is all that holds you here.
Yes, I will hold on fast to you
So you don’t float away and disappear….
When gravity is all that holds you here.

On The Blue

Chorus
Goodbye everybody,
I take my leave of you,
Sailing on the water,
Sailing on the blue.
Though I’m floating on the breeze
You don’t have to carry me,
I could travel up to the stars
But there’s something holding me.
I’m meant to take a journey now,
It’s woven in your tears,
Purple mountains, distant seas,
A song across the years.
Chorus
The way is barred to what we’ve had
A summer that’s grown cold,
A dream that changed its colours,
A story that’s grown old.
I’ll make my way down hidden paths,
Unravel journeys new,
I’ll take the road less travelled
That leads me to the blue.
Chorus
Oh, let me go.
Oh, let me go.
I’m meant to take a journey now,
It’s woven in your tears,
Purple mountains, distant seas,
A song across the years.
Chorus

Warm Sea

Warm sea, envelope me
Just the sky, Wil and me
And we floated and laughed, so free
Splashing! And our eyes shone with a million waves
(God! What a happy day!)
Spin around, look out to sea
The horizon above you and me
The shoreline and cliffs one way
White sand, white stones, blue water, green and grey
(God! What a happy day!)
We’re part of this great ocean, we’re made up of water
We’re part of this great ocean, we’re made up of water
The seagull flying in
She’s circling in the air
Passes by, so close, so near
Dashing! Oh she’s flown over a million waves
(God! What a happy day!)
Gliding, just above the waves
We float, she flies through haze
We are graced by her joyful flight
Flashing! Silver feathers moving shimmering light
(God! What a happy day!)
We’re part of this great ocean, we’re all made up of water
We’re part of this great ocean, we’re all made up of water
