Maple Bee – Little Victories | Lyrics


Doctor by Maple Bee

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 by Maple Bee

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 by Maple Bee

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 by Maple Bee

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 by Maple Bee

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 Up River by Maple Bee

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

You're not lost anymore

 

 

 

 

With Your Kiss by Maple Bee

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 by Maple Bee

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 by Maple Bee

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
