Do you want a couple of tea Or if you're hungry a bite to eat There’s that little place We used to meet All those Summer afternoons On Woodstock Avenue Sitting on the Little Green With our big ideas and little dreams Watch little kids Buy big ice creams All those Summer afternoons On Woodstock Avenue Up from the river a little breeze Squeeze my hand, take a walk with me Down this lane Of memory All those Summer afternoons On Woodstock Avenue
2.
Pack up your things The leaves are turning brown Let’s head out of town We’ll fly, fly away And as we leave the ground Don’t look down Take your jacket off Like shots from a gun We’re firing for the sun Let’s run, run away And as we leave the ground Don’t look down Don’t be afraid Feel the earth disappear Take aim at the heavens Heights should be climbed not feared Roll up the blind With candy in our mouths We soar above the clouds Let’s drift, drift away And as we leave the ground Don’t look down

Idolised 03:00
This morning I slept through Six alarms before you Kissed my head and softly said “Bring us breakfast and a brew” So I obliged, same as always Sweeping sleep from my eyes So I obliged cuz I love you in more ways Than you realise, you’re idolised Some may say it’s not healthy To worship the ground you walk on You needed someone to lift you up And everybody must serve someone So I obliged, same as always Standing by your side So I obliged cuz I love you in more ways Than you realise, you’re idolised This morning you woke me With a whisper in my ear You asked me to play a song for you The one you always like to hear So I obliged, same as always Sweeping sleep from my eyes So I obliged cuz I love you in more ways Than you realise, you’re idolised

When I’m home The stereo plays my favourite song Sun shines through the window And evening shadows on the wall dance along When I’m home The front door’s locked, my phone’s off Please don’t knock, don’t call me All is calm I’m safe from harm, nothing’s wrong When I’m home The lights are dim, kettle’s on Line up another Game Of Thrones Binge on Jon Snow and popcorn 'til the morn When I’m home A song is sung, my guitar’s strummed I write down words about someone Who spends his precious time at home all alone

Main Squeeze 02:57
Hey there, sweetie pie I spy with my little eye An angel with dirty knees You’re my main squeeze Hey there, cutie pie Oh, how Joni Mitchell makes you cry Sing along with your own harmonies You’re my main squeeze Hey there, apple pie I’m your manic pixie dream guy Climbing and kissing in the trees You're my main squeeze

Fig Tree 03:16
In the breeze outside my window I sit and watch the fig tree shake Each piece of fruit, a possibility Every one a choice to make You never know what worse luck Your bad luck saves you from You never know where this lonely road will lead Or which road will take you home Why does time have to happen Why’d the figs have to fall Why do you have to lose your way To find a way, to find a way at all And hate is a bad habit We just can’t seem to quit And love is a glorious thought We just can’t get to stick If you're searching for answers It seems clear to me You won’t find them in the arms of destruction But you might in creativity In the breeze outside my window I sit and watch the fig tree shake Each piece of fruit, a possibility Every one a choice to make

If you’ve been having one of those days If you’re feeling oh so sad I won’t tell you everything’s okay I won’t say it ain’t so bad The night gets dark, the moon is full Life’s full of surprises In the morning you will see The sun also rises, it also rises If storm clouds gather overhead If the rain starts pouring down You don’t have to get out of your bed You don’t have to hide your frown The night gets dark, the moon is full Life’s full of surprises In the morning you will see The sun also rises, it also rises If you feel that hope is all but lost If your faith is wearing thin Think of troubled waters that you’ve crossed And how you never sink if you swim The night gets dark, the moon is full Life’s full of surprises In the morning you will see The sun also rises, it also rises
8.
I love you in the morning when the moon is retiring I love you in the morning when the bluebirds sing I love you in the morning when the sun is a’rising I love you in the morning more than anything I love you at noon when the black cats sleep I love you at noon when the magpies fly I love you at noon where the willows weep I love you at noon and for all time I love you in the evening when the sky turns pink I love you in the evening when the shadows fall I love you in the evening when the sun does sink I love you, I love you, I love you all All we need is a little love With a little love we can’t go wrong A little love is all we need So here’s a little love, a little love song

Berkamp and the Bean The strangest pair you’ve ever seen They went their separate ways I think about those two most days Scrapping on the floor Yapping at my door Keeping me up half the night Man, they really loved to fight Bean was the litters’ runt But she still loved to hunt And stalk her brother in the snow She never did quite catch him though Berkamp was a mountain lion Quick as silver, a grip like iron But he just wanted love No different to the rest of us Berkamp and the Bean The strangest pair you’ve ever seen They went their separate ways I think about those two most days

Go to sleep precious angels The moon is up, the stars are bright And may your dreams be always sweet As sweet as your smiling eyes Goodnight Grace And goodnight Florence May A kiss for Mum, and one for Dad Then lay down your heads to sacred sleep Don’t you cry, your sister’s there beside you Two shining stars you’ll always be Goodnight Grace And goodnight Florence May
