daydreaming
in the big field
by the railway line
near the estate
in the summertime
there was a place
where the grass grew high
and we'd lie and gaze
at the clouds passing by
rolling in from the sea
floating so high and free
daydreaming
daydreaming
just you and me
lost in reverie
daydreaming
a pale blue sky
a steady parade
of slow shifting clouds
all headed our way
we tried to name
each different shape
and they took us too
another place
a shimmering caravan
sweeping accross the land
daydreaming
daydreaming
just you and me
lost in reverie
daydreaming
we forgot the time
we forgot the field
it didn't feel like you
it didn't feel like me
we were
floating on high
up in the sky
drifting on by
daydreaming
floating on high
up in the sky
drifting on by
daydreaming
daydreaming
daydreaming

Where I Can't Follow You

where I can't follow you
when I see you rushing by
in many ways I'm looking at myself
running just to catch your breath
and ending up in someone else's debt
when plans are kept just to yourself
I wonder what new problems will ensue
and worry that I've lost you to the point
where I can't follow you
you only ever have one answer
and you'll see it to the bitter end
you won't accept a limitation
as you throw all caution to the wind
when you say I'm in the way
I really don't know who I'm talking to
something has come between us as you go
where I can't follow you
stepping down you'll find the ground
learn to loosen all the ties that bind you
find a way to get back home
please don't let that passion play define you
you've gone so far into the fight
you've no one left to fight except yourself
your passion burns so brightly that
you turn against the ones who try to help
you need to learn it's not your turn
you need to tell us what you're going through
I don't want to lose you to a place
where I can't follow you
I don't want to lose you to a place
where I can't follow you
I can't follow you
I can't follow you

When I Come To Find You

when I come to find you
was all it lost in the telling
was what you meant
when faced with danger
you could be fearless
and if you were crossed
then you'd get your revenge
working on your own
but you were a leader
you were organised
if you were so careless
how could you have survived
never out for glory
that was always implied
but we will never know
if you are the legend
who has no feet of clay
when I come to find you
you will only fly away
were they looking for adventure
in the tales of your youth
you could never tell them
the awful truth
an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth
and so you turned it round
if the story was too real
it would cause upset
but the one you were protecting
was really youself
if you went to close
you'd be back there again
and no one else could know
if you are the legend
who has no feet of clay
when I come to find you
you will only fly away
things are in freefall and
you can't really tell
when the story started to repeat
back upon itself
and you're caught in the loop
fighting for you life
while all is calm
in the world outside
the danger and the fear
never went away
all the doors left open
with no way to escape
where does the story start
and where does it end
I really just can't say
if you are the legend
who has no feet of clay
when I come to find you
you will only fly away
if you're the legend
who has no feet of clay
when I come to find you
you will only fly away
fly away
