BRONZE V1 Old dust roads Dust is swirling round our weary souls Burning breeze Bronze the only color that we see Days gone by On and on and by and by and by We will tread We will tread until we’re dead CH Don’t quite know Where we will go Oh oh oh (2x) V2 Dawn dark still Waiting for the light to rise and spill High noon now We are far from where we started out Bruised by time Throwing us an empty empty line Could you please Could you plea for me to bleed CH Don’t quite know Where we will go Oh oh oh (3x) V3 We we we proceed Wistfully into the evening Lay lay lay me down Down onto my bed upon the ground CH Don’t quite know Where we will go Oh oh oh (4x)

CAN WE STAY V1 Moonlight streaming through Through the leaves onto you And your face all aglow I see what I had not known CH Can we stay here longer Can we stay until tomorrow Can we stay here forever V2 Pale rays forging through Through this unearthly view And so perilously Notions underneath agree CH Can we stay here longer Can we stay until tomorrow Can we stay here forever B Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh CH Can we stay here longer Can we stay until tomorrow Can we stay here forever

BETTER THAN THE PAIN V1 Never really meant to hurt you Never really meant to break down Even though I tried to reach out From so far down It was hard to feel the moment Moments are all we have now CH1 Was I mistaken to ever think that You’d love me better than the pain did, the pain did My heart is breaking So come and take it from me now V2 Never really thought I’d find you Never really thought I’d be found Even now we’re rushing, rushing out From so far down Finally we feel the moment Moments are what we have now CH2 We won’t be shaken I have a faith that You'll love me better than the pain did, the pain did My heart awakens So come and take it from me now B I always wanted to find you I always wanted to be found I knew that I would know you I knew it somehow Finally we have our moment Moments are what we have now CH3/CH4 We won’t be shaken I have a faith that You'll love me better than the pain did, the pain did My heart awakens So come and take it from me now CH5 We won’t be shaken I have a faith that You'll love me better than the pain did, the pain did These hearts awaken And now we start to hear the sound

LONG LOST CENTURY V1 On a moonless night in a burned out building Your heavy cries were floating Seems all your life has needed mending So you cut the ties to the old things Oh whoa whoa V2 Oh golden light of a daydream dawning Now held so tight by the story Of a carriage ride in a long lost century Through a countryside in the morning Oh whoa whoa CH I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x) I'll take you out of here V3 A man in white his gold watch turning Was pressed for time you hurried To drink his wine and follow blindly But in your mind was folly Oh whoa whoa CH I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x) I'll take you out of here B Ooh ooh (4x) V4 Your breath inside the window fogging On the panes you write a warning To the promised bride, her spotted ponies And velvet shrine of endings Oh whoa whoa CH2 I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x) You need no longer suffer fright I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x)

HOLD YOU TONIGHT V1 Should I forget you oh Do I need to let you go Holding onto you in my mind Every shadow hides your face You're the one I can't replace Oh I know because I have tried V2 I hear you call my name Voices go from where they came I can feel the echo inside If only to pretend I imagine once again We collapse and then we collide CH Is everybody wrong Is everybody right Does it really matter tonight ‘Cause everybody longs And everybody cries I just want to hold you tonight (2x) B Tonight Oh I just want to hold you tonight (4x) V3 I see you in my dreams Monochrome and memory Everything a moment in time Can we shine within the dark If i touch you will you spark Burning up again we ignite CH Is everybody wrong Is everybody right Does it really matter tonight ‘Cause everybody longs And everybody cries I just want to hold you tonight (3x) B Tonight tonight Oh I just want to hold you tonight (2x) CH Is everybody wrong Is everybody right Does it really matter tonight ‘Cause everybody longs And everybody cries I just want to hold you tonight Tonight

AEROPLANES INTRO Huh, hu-uh, hu-uh, hu-uh (3x) V1 You and I, you and I, you and I Both ought to Know the night, know the night, know the night Comes from the day Passed away V2 By the time, by the time, by the time We close our Weary eyes, weary eyes, weary eyes We drift away To the grey CH Aeroplanes flying across all the oceans Continents crying oh what have we lost over there Did we find it so soft and so silent What do you think we should do B Do do do / Hu-uh, hu-uh (3x) V3 After all, after all, after all These webs have Spun along, spun along, spun along Most things escaped We regain CH Aeroplanes flying across all the oceans Continents crying oh what have we lost over there Did we find it so soft and so silent What do you think we should do B Do do do / Hu-uh, hu-uh (3x)

SUDDEN LOVE V1 My heart is still here Sometimes it disappears Buried underneath the years Bottled in fear And when your sudden love appears I find I’m nowhere near Hidden deep and dark unclear The number of tears V2 My heart is saving its thoughts Up for the sidewalks And pockets are lonely with no one to talk Over the walls My feet have faltered and hands are distraught Holding a heavy plot As my heart reaches the door that it locked I feel what’s been lost CH And the hardest part this time Is knowing you might be right And the hardest heart inside Is hoping you might be mine V3 Slowly my loneliness opens its eyes Issues an alibi There inside your hand where it tries To push back aside When the quiet speaks and we tremble inside Feeble hearts revive I can’t explain though I will not deny What happened tonight CH And the hardest part this time Is knowing you might be right And the hardest heart inside Is hoping you might be mine (2x)
