White Night 04:15
White Night Hey- it's been awhile since I clapped eyes on you, what have you been up to? If you're staying in town then we can stay awake from midnight 'til high noon Always with your heart in hand Feeling your way in the dark Never bought it when you said you had a plan I even miss the times that I forget, but maybe that was the idea Coming up and falling down- it seems to all make sense now that you're here Life is just a game but You still like it when you score Never bought it when you said that less is more It's good to see you again It's been way to long my friend Well you look as good as new And now the night is shining through Reflecting off the sky The whole city's floating by Throw your caution to the wind Those days are gone for good my friend Trying to take the subterraneans seriously when they gave their sermons Going as the crow flies at night, straight until morning was always fun Winding down the alleyways The windows shining out Always bought what all the fuss was about It's good to see you again It's been way too long my friend Well you look as good as new Now the night is shining through Reflecting off the sky The whole city's floating by Throw your caution to the wind Those days are gone for good my friend by Hamish

Rose Latulipe Dances with the Devil A Wednesday wrapped in snow The night fell down like ashes The winter lights, they took my breath away The music's call rose and fell The thunder of the horses hooves Came through the walls and entered in You appeared, and you took my breath away They said "It's wrong", while you led me on It was like dancing Above the storm Dancing My heart is gone But then your mask fell off The pointing fingers, a cloven hoof You broke free and you crashed into the night The shards of glass fell down like ash It was like dancing Above the storm Dancing My heart is gone When I look in your eyes my blood burns cold It feels just like the melting snow You touch me and nothing is the same I feel like ashes blowing away I feel like ashes blowing away... by Hamish

On A Train 03:43
On a Train I get on the train, I see those familiar faces that I know so well There’s the one who’d angry at the delay There’s the one who sleeps all day My neighbour spends his time talking to his cell While I’m just lost for words What can I say to you that isn’t what you’ve heard before? Here I am, the guy who laughed and threw those old love letters away I search my mind for those words, Locked inside this crowded space Why can’t this train take a shorter path Burst out of its tracks? And if we’re forced to stop I’ll just get off this train and walk All I see is my reflection when I look out the window For the lights that means the station’s round the bend And this waiting’s at an end Here I am the guy who laughed at all the tricks that love will play I got taken in Can’t wait to be taken in again Why can’t this train take a shorter path Burst out of its tracks? And if we’re forced to stop I’ll just get off this train and walk I’m not waiting around here anymore I don’t need this, I just need to be where you are I see your place, it’s not too far Can’t wait to be where you are by Hamish

Blank Screen 03:01
Blank Screen I swallowed my pride But it didn’t agree with me I got a thorn in my side Guess I’ll have to let it be He said, why don’t you change your name While leaving all the rest the same? Erase the story that might have been Let me be Oh, a blank screen Waiting for you to write on me A blank screen Waiting for you to write on me Write on me I bit my tongue But it got away from me Gonna be struck dumb Guess I’ll have to wait and see He said, just give your voice a rest I could give a go at talking less Erase the story that might have been Let me be Oh, a blank screen Waiting for you to write on me A blank screen Waiting for you to write on me Write on me A blank screen Waiting for you to write on me Write on me A blank screen Waiting for you to write on me Write on me by Hamish
