Maple Bee – Little Victories | Lyrics
Doctor
Oh Doctor, where's the medicine?
I need to get back home
I need a rope, but no one's thrown
I need to get back home
And yes - I have tried
I swear to you, I have tried
So hard on my own
Oh Doctor, hear the words I say
I'll not forget your face, or the words you say
Like static on the radio
A language that only you and I know
Yes this mountain is too much
But believe me you've got just enough
To keep me okay
To keep me okay
When simply breathing feels too much
It's in your mirror, that I trust
And to this well I come to drink
A flash, a moment, lost in a blink
A thousand years have come and gone
And time she still won't play by the rules
To keep me okay
I want to keep you okay
To All The Lost
I can see it in your face
I'm alone again
I'm searching for words
But I'm just so tired
Of gilding the star
I've carried through the years
Are you holding your breath?
Is it so hard to breathe?
To breathe the same air as another man
Without spitting out the words of songs unsung?
Dive right down, drink up your glass
Let's unload the bags
You'll never belong
To anyone
Please send my regards
To all the lost
You make me the muse
Of life's lost life
But I can't see a winner
In the battles that we fight
But you hold me tight,
Whisper in my ear
You whisper the secrets of a future I fear
But can you breathe the same as another man
Without spitting out the words of songs unsung?
So I dive right down, deep into the glass
Let me unload the bags
Please don't say no
Stuck to a tree, a notice for the lost
A thousand souls and counting
When is enough?
Nobody Knows
Please place your hands
Upon my face again
No room for logic here
No start place, no end
Please hold me up I can't
Breathe anymore
My mind is spinning
I'm face down on the floor
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
Write it on your hand
You won't forget what we both know
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
But me
Lets take a plane we’ve got all the world to ride
And in the shadow of shudders
I come untied
Don't loosen me so far that I fall
Right through reality, right through your door
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
Write it on my hand
I won't forget which way to go
Nobody knows (Nobody knows)
But me
Write it on my hand
I can't forget what I don't know
I've heard that's there's an island
Just outside of time
A home for lovers
Sweet home of mine
I know I'll meet you there
While all the world's asleep
No doubt allowed
This promise keep
Blossom Falls
I'll see you by the water
When birds have gone to sleep
The sunlight now has faded
Breeze whispers in the trees
I'll see you on the path there
Where twilight owns the day
And in the field of flying candles
The places that we play
Blossom falls
Blossom falls
Just you know and I know
Blossom falls in snow
I'll see you by the railway
The trains they'll run all night
And we two walk in silence
So simple and so right
Lazy clouds crawl slowly
Across the fading sky
My shadow can't be lonely
Your shadow by her side
Don't Fly Too Soon
It's almost time to say goodbye
You said
But don't fly too soon
It's almost time
I've seen it in your eyes
Don't fly too soon
Coz when the dreams you planted are left wilting
And when your hopes rain down upon you cold and grey
And when your road's too dark and you can't get home
I'll be the one who's there to light the way
Don't fly too soon
Don't fly too soon
It's almost time to say goodbye
You said
Don't fly too soon
It's almost time,
I feel your doubts creep in
But don't fly too soon
Coz when you're cold I'll be the one to warm you
And stormy clouds roll round inside your head
And when the books you love
No longer seem to move you
I'll be the one to give you back the words they left unsaid
Don't fly too soon
Don't fly too soon
It's almost to say goodbye you said
But don't fly too soon
You think it's almost time
I see confusion in your head
But don't fly too soon
Coz when you're feeling empty I can hold you
And when the night just stretches on and on
And when the ringing bells are singing out for no one
I'll be the one who'll pick you up and help you smile again
Don't cry too soon
Don't fly too soon
Row You Upriver
Cradle you - softly words spoken
Touch you like - you may break
Kindle the flame - that lives inside you
Melt your winter away
Yes I'll row you, row you, upriver
Lead you back to the shore
Yes I'll row you row you upriver
You're not lost anymore
Silken woven your pillows,
Rest your heart next to mine
Chase out the sadness inside you,
No one can pull me away
Yes I'll row you, row you, upriver
Lead you back to the shore
Yes I'll row you row you upriver
With Your Kiss
Please take my hand my darling,
Hold it tight
And pull me inside your mind
Unroll your film, my lover,
It's yours this show
I promise not to let
You fall
With your kiss comes your smile
Saying everything is gonna be all right now
With a heart, comes it’s trials
And this glow inside can turn my fears to dust
Up close I'm hardly breathing
In dizzy light
The mountains seem tiny from here
Sweet warmth, I see us drifting so far below
Still sliding towards our show
With your kiss comes your smile
Saying everything is gonna be all right now
With a heart, comes it’s trials
And this glow inside can turn my fears to dust
Too many oceans crossed in
Paper boats
I'm sewing your heart to my hands
In timeless time reflected
Sweet reverie
Your smile ever etched in me
Catch The Wind
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standing in your heart
Is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Almost Home
Sweet brother
On the other side
Of the table
I am watching you
Put down your coffee cup
You said it'd gone cold
That was when summer was high
We’d sleep through the eye of the storm
And I know I would recognise you
Outside of this life
And the people we knew
And I know you would recognise me
Outside of time
Like we were free
So look around and see you're almost home
Familiarity seeds we've sown
Sweet brother, mine, you'll never bleed alone
Coz you know, you know, you know, you're
Almost home
Almost home
Almost home
Sweet brother
Your laugh like mine
Just the other side, of the coin
So pass me your cup
I'll finish it off
Heads or tails, you decide
And you know I would recognise you
Outside of this life
And the places we knew
Look around and see you're almost home
Familiarity seeds we've sown
Sweet brother, mine, you'll never bleed alone
Coz you know, you know, you know, you're
Almost home
Coz you know, you know, you know, you're
Almost home
