The River 03:24
Why would we both sit down by the river And how would we provoke when we're at peace Tell me how I'm going to make it Forgiveness the trait that fell at your knees Mark out the eyes of the self professors So we can learn as we travel these tides Endless your mother said don't forget her And send her a postcard to share the views Nothing changes when it snows in winter time Fallen leaves when we've reached the end of the line Stolen time from father's stopwatch And seconds that blur as we fade away Seems such a shame that we never made it Forgotten the stories will fall on your plate

Safety First 02:48
Don't you know there's a war on? But you don't have to be involved Everyone is scared of their reflection The stilted sounds of yesterday Drifting through your wall You never did quite understand the meaning When you find your little patch of ground You'll raise your hands in thanks for what you've found No time for your soliloquy I'm busy sitting on my hands I can't remember why it was I came here But when it finally comes to me I'll say my piece and then I'll leave A thousand voices running through my head
