Welcome to The Forthlin Sessions
We sit and do the crossword
It's warm outside The letters catch along the side
and dance beyond the lines
But I can't think
It's hardest to erase
The word we had before the word
we have now in its place
And so I need
The clues we have beside
But after all this back and forth it's harder to define
So I try to find the words in this house
I try to find the words for us now
They sit and do the crossword
It's hard to explain
The letters rise above the page and march their own parade
The corners twist, the angles tap, the edges sway,
swing, scat and so I catch
Open up my palm
Look at all these letters here arranging one by one
Years go by and we don't feel the time
Years go by and every day is fine
Years go by oh how we feel alive
We feel alive, we feel alive, we feel alive
When I find words the in this house
I find the words for us now
When I find the words in this house
We sit and do the crossword
This puzzle's like a song
And after time we realise that's where these words belong
It's been a long few years since you left me
It'll be some more before I get there
On the day we never made
I am back inside your head
You think of all the time that you gave me
I didn't think that you would get it back
The sound of rain, the smell of paint
And i'm back inside your head
I am back inside
I am back here right where you left me
Putting back the sunny side
Of my cloudy street
You left me all your dreams on the bed frame
And in the night said you'd remember to set a flame the fireplace
When I'm back inside your head
I am back inside
I am back here right where you left me
My sketch is claimed by yesterday
My winter turned to spring
You left me all your dreams on the bed frame
And in the night said you'd remember to set a flame the fireplace
When i'm back inside your head
I am back inside your head again
I am back inside your head
A fine sheen
On an old love
In autumn
And in spring
The fallen eyes
Forever
watering
On the ones that remain
Here we stand holding on to roots of old
I made my bed where I could do no wrong
reading quietly simply singing songs
All we had was hope in hearts and minds
(Keeping sight of all my dreams)
Everything was new and bold and bright
(Pieces for us fitting by chance)
Dancing for me in my minds eye
Everywhere are sacred Signs of life
But I still hold on to you in the night
lavender scented Rain soaked Lamenting
History quaking under foot
All of me locked in memory
Making up every part of me Shaped by home
My whole body and soul
Safe within these terraced walls
I was tapping at the bathroom door
Saying let the light in I demand to hear more
I find love In our mundane
Two up two down
and I am living in memories Planted at home
Come follow me I'll lead you through a story
gold awaits in every memory
The air filled with magic
Time stood proud in
Every room no ageing history
One heart held sound
Said hear me out
This home has come to light the way
Listen to my soul’s escape
Let it reign in all you do
Sound of hope to age all fears away
Is a home to guide you through
Can you hear the music
Breathe in all the rooms
It stands so proud
In all you do
These walls invite a warmth
Enlightening spark to grip
A golden thread called hope
A hope to keep the stars aligned
Is a road to brighter days
Listen to my soul awake
Let it reign in all you do
Sound of hope to age all fears away
Is a home to guide you through
It costs so much to let your dreams all to fade to grey
The hope that kept a life alive
Gave rose to blue sky days
So hear him say
Listen to my soul’s embrace
Let it reign in all you do
Sound of hope to age all fears away
Is a home to guide you through
Is a road, enlightens you
In a home gold’s avenue
What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine.
And she was right,
This love of mine,
My Valentine
As days and nights,
Would pass me by
I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared,
A love so fine,
My Valentine
And I will love her for life
And I will never let a day go by
Without remembering the reasons why
She makes me certain
That I can fly
And so I do,
Without a care
I know that someday soon the sun is gonna shine
And she'll be there
This love of mine
My Valentine
What if it rained?
We didn't care.
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine,
My Valentine
