MONTAUK
You tell yourself you’ll be fine,
That you didn’t waste your time
Remember what he taught you
You know that you taught him too,
his guard was in plastic for you
An armor you could always see through
So you have this friend,
would you let him steer
Said you’d never depend
What are you doing here
He locks you in his eyes and takes you in his shield
Now you’re under his disguise
Before the lock is sealed
So don’t cry for your stunted love
You’re knit together like a glove
You tried to call it curiosity,
Coping with your own hypocrisy
Watch out you might be falling
Are you still falling
You told yourself you’ll be fine,
That you didn’t waste your time
Remember what he taught you
You know that you taught him too
His guard was in plastic for you
An armor you could always see through
So you had this friend,
Was it only a year
Played what could have been
What are you doing here
Are you still falling

EARLY DAYS
Youthful yearnings, easy mornings
and rolling out of bed
Before the rush and we’re still strolling
with time to look ahead
Let’s slow our pace
and enjoy the haze
It’s lovely floating
In the early days
We roam with ease, stop to breathe
and fix a cup of tea
It’s funny now, it’s all so rosy
We’d talk so dreamily
Let’s slow our pace
and enjoy the haze
It’s lovely floating
In the early days
Help me to hold this
I’ve seen it vanish
If one day later
we remember this phase
a wistful prayer
from our grown up days
We’ll sigh and fancy
that we
could go back there
Let’s slow our pace
and enjoy the haze
It’s lovely floating
In the early days

LOST AT SEA
Days run, night’s come, so soon
The darkness is chilling
there’s no company in song
When the sea witch first sang
I should have gone
But caught in her siren
I took my ship in the night
Now left here to rage against the dying light
A frightening mistake,
to sail bravely as I did
But if I get lost,
at least I’ll have lived
The waves were gentle
in the early days
I’ll send myself there
when the tide breaks
I’d rather be
lost at sea
than safely home in misery
I’m not drowning
I’m not drowning now
I’m not drowning
I’m not drowning
There is so little
that I control,
But I’ll stay afloat
and that I know,
I won’t let the sea swallow me whole
Let it capture me
I will stay afloat

SØREN
He sometimes reached
the edge of a cliff
without realizing where he’d gone
Fearless until he wondered if
he might lean towards the sun
He shook his head, now shivering
and took a quick step back
Now seeing just how far the jump
how quickly he could act
Who holds him back
What stops his tracks
Søren, Søren, Søren
Søren, it’s frightening
To feel so free
He’s powerful
and vulnerable
His only role to be
Who holds his weight
grounds his feet still
Who names his fate
but his own free will
Søren, Søren, Søren
He’s powerful
and vulnerable
His only role to be
Søren, Søren, Søren, Søren, Søren

THE TABLE SONG
For a cup of tea and an open arm,
We can sit right here ‘til we buy the farm.
Grab a chair, we’ve been here since four
the table’s round, we can fit one more
These are the nights that we won’t forget
When we sang along in a sweet quartet
We’ll waste the night sharing dreams ‘til four
the table’s round, it’ll fit one more
The years’ll try us, so we’ve heard,
but we fit together like a major third.
These are the nights that we won’t forget
When we sang along in a sweet quartet
So stop and say hello
cause people come and go
For a dance or two, we’ll outlast the sun
Then toast the night and the years to come
Grab a chair, we’ve been here since four
the table’s round, we can fit one more
So stop and say hello
Cause friends will come and go
Hang onto your goodbyes
I’ve heard these days will fly by
