We took a dip into buttercup lake Nestled in the mountains of angel food cake I am a maiden with daisies for hair You are a woodsman and will take me anywhere Higher we’re climbing on honeycomb hill Over the clouds where the air starts to chill We sit together as sprinkle stars come out You say you love me there will never be a doubt But I loved the sun dear And you loved the rain When you said goodbye dear Hearts were built to break We took a picnic by buttercup lake I brought blueberries and you brought rum cake Wind shaped the clouds into sculptures in the sky You held my hand tight, said you’d love me till you die But I loved the sun dear And you loved the rain When you said goodbye dear Hearts were built to break Too soon we grew older so a trip we did take Over the mountains to buttercup lake Your head in my lap dear as the sun goes to bed You say you love me with your final sweet breath Oh I love the sun dear And you loved the rain When you said goodbye dear Hearts were built to break I like to go back to buttercup lake Nestled in the mountains of angel food cake I’m an old maiden with lilies for hair You are the warm wind and will take me anywhere

I want to be the one that you run to And I want to see all of your tears, and wipe them away Cause I know you despair I’ll always be there I want to know all of your fears and kiss them clean Because when I share all of my own you let me lean On your shoulders and you hold me In your arms mmmmmm Love let me in I give him my burdens he carries them all And the relief feels like a sin Love let me in I want to go where you go and be where you are And I want to know all of your soul and hold your heart In my chest Beside my own Till we’re old Oh Love let me in I give him my burdens he carries them all And the relief feels like a sin Love let me in I’m holdin on fast I will shelter him all Through the rain and the snow and the wind Love let me in I want to stand by your side in front of all our friends And I want to bind all of our love till the end Of my life, cause I’m yours Please be mine, forever Amen

Honey turn out the light The baby is finally sleeping Honey look at the night Lay by my side mm Sometimes life gets real blue But you come and turn it all pink and yellow My days were feeling grey Now they’re bright When you hold me I know I’m not one for words but I will Give you all that I can muster But when it comes to writing love songs I get so tongue tied You make me tongue tied But I will try Try to find the words Darling you shape my life Into bends and swirls and circles I’ve been delighted such a long time Wrap me up mmm In your arms Wrap me in your arms I know I’m not one for words but I will Give you all that I can muster But when it comes to writing love songs I get so tongue tied You make me tongue tied Now I’m tripping on my own feet Cause you make me feel so weightless I want to show the things I can’t speak Oh and I will I will I know I’m not one for words but I will Give you all that I can muster But when it comes to writing love songs I get so tongue tied You make me tongue tied In your arms Tongue tied in your arms Honey turn out the light The baby is finally sleeping

So Far Away 04:07
When you went away I knew I’d be getting lonely When you went away I was getting scared already Then the skies were grey, the day you went away And I went home Leaves were fallin down, but only sunshine where you were Hid my heart in the ground, but only till it froze over And the skies remained, when you went away But I’m alone While you were away I was growing older While you were away I was trying to see my own Seoul And he came one day, while you were away And we went home Oceans blocked the way, I could not contain it I am so ashamed, should’ve rearranged it And my tears were hurricanes, when I went away And you’re alone Got a lot to say, not a lot to know Should’ve walked away but I was feeling so Far away, so far away So long ago Everything we’d say, everything we’d know All got washed away, for something that was so Close to take, so far away So long ago

Right Here 03:57
This was your piano I learned all the white keys Don't need to know the names to know what they mean The world starts off with melody Close your eyes close your eyes I would wait forever But you don’t have that kind of time Hush my darling Hush my dear Hush my darling I’ll be right here waiting Time goes on, you build a life of your own Three little ones, two generations more You brought all the sunshine You are warm and you are bright Hush my darling Hush my dear Hush my darling I’ll be right here waiting The seasons pass, close your eyes close your Colours flow to snow and shade The body is a garden where memories grow and memories fade Hush my darling Hush my dear Hush my darling I’ll be right here waiting This is my piano I know all the white keys I will play them softly while you sleep
