TELL THE SUMMER HANG ON (VINYL) – £27.90
TELL THE SUMMER HANG ON (CD) – £11.40
In the air floating like a leaf
On the rush of summer days
Unaware what lay underneath
Beneath these breaking waves
Before I saw the light of day
Never believed that I could change
Or turn around my point of view
I never knew what love could do
I never knew what love could do
In the air falling like a stone
No time to turn around
Anywhere can someone take me home?
Before we hit the ground
Before I saw the daylight fade
Never believed that I could change
Or turn around my point of view
I never knew what love could do
I never dreamt what love could do
Then we kissed like lovers do
There’s a bridge across the water
There’s a bridge across the sea
It tries to carry me toward you
Telling me that I need to breathe
To keep my head above the line
And pay attention not to close my mind
To every layer hiding beneath the truth
Heaven only knows what love could do
I never knew what love could do
I never dreamt what love could do
Until we touched like lovers do
Until we kissed like lovers do
I never dreamt what love could do
I never knew what love could do
The light, it creeps beneath my door
The light, it covers me in warmth
I’ve been polarised, can’t believe my eyes
Deja vu again just like before
Outside, the breaking of a day
The Architect has led his father’s horses to the gates
Outside, the beating of a drum
Says pack a bag and head toward the burning morning sun
It starts with colour in the sky
Begins when we let old loves die
I shed my skin to let light in
To wave away the doubts that cloud my mind
Outside, the birds are wide awake
The Architect has led his father’s horses through the gates
Outside, who knows what could become
If we grab our bags and head toward the burning morning sun
Ooh, stop holding on
Ooh, stop holding on
My name won’t mean that much to you
My name is just a point of view
There’s a choice to make
Don’t lock the gate
A leap of faith can lead to some place new
Outside, I’ll meet you by the lake
The Architect has laid his father’s feast out on a plate
Outside the daylight just begun
Let’s pack a bag and head toward the burning morning sun
And so we woke up with the sun on our face
We made the new year resolution not to stay in one place for too long
Oh tell the summer hold on
She said she’d love to hear her song on repeat
I said I don’t know why it’s better when it’s played in the heat of the sun
But long may love carry on
Give me that summer blessing
Every step of the way
Any time of the day
Our journey just begun
Tell the summer hang on
Give me that summer blessing
I hope that this never ends (That summer blessing)
Let’s close our eyes and pretend (That summer blessing)
Wish this could carry on
Tell the summer hang on
So King Canute he tried to hold back the tide
Let’s hope the gods could be a little more receptive this time when we say
Tell the winter to wait (Tell it to wait)
You see right here right now I love what we got
Let’s take a second out and work out how to hold back the clock
I don’t care what it takes
But can we put on the brakes
Give me that summer blessing
Every step of the way, any time of the day
Our journey just begun
Tell the summer hang on
Give me that summer blessing
I hope that this never ends (That summer blessing)
Let’s close our eyes and pretend (That summer blessing)
Wish this could carry on
Tell the summer hang on
Wish this could carry on and on
Wish this could carry on
Every step of the way
Or any time of the day
Our journey just begun
Tell the summer hang on
Give me that summer blessing
I hope that this never ends (That summer blessing)
Let’s close our eyes and pretend (That summer blessing)
Wish this could carry on
Tell the summer hang on
Slow down
How can I help you when you’re out of reach
Cool down
Let’s cool it down before it overheats
And there’s a fire today
Lately you seem miles away
Cool down, cool it down
Let’s take a second to reconcile
With our dreams of yesterday
See there’s a chance we can make it alright
But we need a holiday
Look around
I don’t believe we’re in a healthy place
No doubt
There’s still a way before it’s not too late
See we can grow and survive
If we can keep the hope alive
No doubt, look around
Let’s take a second to reconcile
With our dreams of yesterday
See there’s a chance that we both could be right
But we need a holiday
Yeah we need a holiday
What we need is a get away
Yeah we need a holiday
What we need isn’t far away
What we need is to breathe, is to get away
To take a breath, take a rest, take a holiday
What we need is the dream of a get away
But we keep dancing
What we need is to breathe, is to get away
To take a breath, take a rest, take a holiday
But we keep dancing
What we need is the dream of a holiday
How we keep dancing I don’t know
I don’t believe that it’s a hopeless case
But no doubts, look around
Let’s take a second to reconcile
With our dreams of yesterday
See there’s a chance we can make it alright
But we need a holiday
Yeah we need a holiday
What we need is a get away
Yeah we need a holiday
What we need isn’t far away
If there’s a chance we should take it
Watch the world as it’s turning
Learning over again
Tell me your heart is still burning
Show me the way
Through the eye of a needle
I spy where I wish to go
Beyond the courts and cathedrals
Judge me my seeds that I sow
Watch the waves as they’re breaking
They bring me closer to shore
Like every sailor out sailing
We’ve been here before
Through the eyes of the people
Looks like the story’s been told
Beneath the courts and cathedrals
Judge me by seeds I may sow
Through the eye of a needle
I spy where I wish to go
Beyond the courts and cathedrals
Judge me my seeds I may sow
Outside the rain has stopped
A summer breeze has blown the clouds away
Outside it’s clearing up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
A good time to start again
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
And now I’m gonna find happiness
And where I’m gonna be happiest
Is here with you, here with you
So I’m gonna take nothing less than the best
I know I’m gonna find happiness
Here with you, here with you, here with you
If everything that’s good in life is free
If every time I ask that’s what I’m told
I’m gonna try that recipe
Forget the silver and the gold
And keep your diamonds they’re leaving me cold
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
And now I’m gonna find happiness
Yeah where I’m gonna be happiest
Is here with you, here with you
So I’m gonna take nothing less than the best
I know I’m gonna find happiness
Here with you, here with you, here with you
So it took some time to see
Yeah, what was right in front of me
There, before my very eyes
Too slow to even realise
Only I could take away from me
No need to find an enemy
So every day I’m doing what I please
A busy bee, busy me making memories
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I know I’m gonna find happiness (Happiness)
Yeah where I’m gonna be happiest (Happiest)
Is here with you, here with you
So I’m gonna take nothing less than the best (I’ll take nothing less)
I know I’m gonna find my happiness (Happiness)
Here with you, here with you, here with you
I’ll take nothing less
Now I’m gonna find happiness
I’ll take nothing less
I know I’m gonna find happiness
Now I’m gonna find happiness
Before I met you I was somewhere else
Caught deep within
I thought I’d be safe inside my own four walls
No-one could ever get in
Somehow you’ve broken inside
And I watch my defences crumble with you
Somehow you opened my eyes
Looks like I finally found a reason
To keep believing
With no idea why life felt synthesised
And no place called home
Before I met you I felt paralysed
My touch had long since been cold
Somehow you’ve broken inside
Oh I watch my defences crumble with you
Somehow you opened my eyes
Looks like I finally found a reason
I keep believing
Before nothing made the grade
Before everything so safe
Before love felt far away
Then there was you.. ooh ooh
Somehow you opened my eyes
I watch my defences crumble with you
Somehow you’ve broken inside
It looks like I finally found a reason
I’ll keep believing thanks to you, thanks to you
Yesterday I never thought we’d find so much sunshine
Yesterday I never thought that it could end up this way
Yesterday I never thought we’d find so much sunshine
Yesterday I never thought that it would end up this way
Just a moment of silence
Just a minute to find my feet again
There’s a lot of new information here
There’s a lot that’s been spoken
There’s a lot I’d been hoping to believe
And I’d rather be lost than insincere
I don’t mind the words that others use
Don’t mind their lies on the evening news
I decide which way to face the storm
‘Cause some things are worth fighting for
Be careful with the time you spend
Some people have a tendency to make it all about them
Careful where you choose to go
Can you make it back home?
You tell yourself it’s now and then
But I won’t stand by, I will not pretend
Take this hand and please don’t drown again
Please don’t drown again, please
In a minute of madness
Just a moment can turn things upside down
And nothing that’s left looks quite the same
Philosophically speaking
What you’re doing is just cheating on yourself
Would you rather be here or somewhere else?
Be careful with the time you spend
Some people have a tendency to make it all about them
Careful where you choose to go
Can you make it back home
You tell yourself it’s now and then
But I won’t stand by, I won’t pretend
Take this hand and please don’t drown again
I don’t mind the words that others use
I don’t mind their lies on the evening news
I decide which way to face the storm
‘Cause some things are worth fighting for
Be careful with the time you spend
Some people have a tendency to make it all about them
Careful where you choose to go
Can you make it back home?
You tell yourself it’s now and then
But I won’t stand by, I won’t pretend
Take this hand and please don’t drown again, please
Just a moment of silence
There’s a reason why I’m smiling
Yeah you could say that you’re involved
But it’s not the way I think you’d have hoped
I guess I thought I needed someone
When all I needed was the time
Some time for me to find my feet and
Now you say that you need me
You’ve been dying to see me
Believe me I’m not the one
Go take a long look around you
It took time but I ploughed through
I moved on without you
I thought that we were done
Once upon another planet
I guess I might have wondered why
Why you didn’t want to stay around
But nowadays there’s so much traffic
I kind of like it in the crowd
I forget to take the time to miss you
Now you say that you need me
You’ve been dying to see me
Believe me I’m not the one
Go take a long look around you
It took time but I ploughed through
I moved on without you
I thought that we were done
I guess that I was wrong
It’s later than we know
We’re closer to the end of the show
Closing time is near
A final word before the stars appear
To lead us safely home
It’s later than we know
It’s later than you think
Done before there’s time to blink
Hey waiter bring the bill
And one more round to keep me warm until
The journey home begins
It’s later than you think
For the moon is rising high
Above the rivers and the trees
And too soon we realise
It’s time to let tomorrow be
Closing time is near
A final word before the stars appear
To lead us safely home
It’s later than we know
Aaah aaah
For the moon is rising high
Above the rivers and the trees
And too soon we realise
It’s time to let tomorrow be
It’s later than we know
We’re closer to the end of the show
Closing time is near
A final word before the stars appear
To lead us safely home
It’s later than we know
It’s later than we know
