Now I wonder ‘bout your house
Where it is that you call home
And all the places you have been and gone
And the people you have known
I still think of you in the dark
In this endless waking night
As the hours, go spinning out
Are you out there on the road?
Or in a town that knows your name?
Or on a stool beside a bar with a whiskey and a flame?
Chasing words around your mind
Threading notes onto a line
As the hours, go spinning out
Daniel you’ll be in my heart
And you’ll be on my mind
And it’s taken time, oh to realise
That it won’t be you
But you showed me truth
And that’s the love, I hope to find.
Now you’re out across the ocean
In a town I’ll never see
And all I’m left with are the lingering and faded memories
Of a night you held me close
And it was only you and me
As the hours
Went spinning out
Daniel you’ll be in my heart
And you’ll be on my mind
And it’s taken time, oh to realise
That it won’t be you
But you showed me truth
And that’s the love, I hope to find.

Free to Roam
02:56
|

My mind is free to wander
And my heart is free to roam
And everyone is finding love here
And everyone is settling down
But I’m out on my own here
Still trying to find a home
I’m still searching for a place to call my own
And my heart has known the sweetness of a love that brought me peace
And my heart has known the bitterness of a lover lost to sea
But I’m out on my own here
Still trying to find a home
I’m still searching for a place to call my own
I’m caught between the freedom and a heart to anchor me
Between a road to home and a road of endless possibilities
I’m caught between the tide that leads to shore or out to sea
Won’t you come and find me
Please come and find me
And if I find you, I won’t let you go
I would give my heart, give you all I know
And the road ahead will be ours to roam
And with you I’d find a place to call my home

Out West
03:09
|

|
It was in summer that we met, I sang of home, you stole a kiss
And your heart was warm your smile outshone the rest
In the morning got the train, you said one day we’ll meet again
Oh, my guitar-playing cowboy out West
Crossed the ocean in the Fall, stopped by the town that you call home
Came to the bar where you were playing with the band
I only came to say hello, not thinking you’d invite me home
But one night was all the time that we had left
You told me that you’d met the girl that you want to make your wife
So why is it that you ask me to stay?
Why’d you hold my hand in yours like you won’t ever let it go
Is it love or is it me you’re looking for?
And when you kissed me, I could taste the whiskey on your lips
You said you want me, and you won’t have no regrets
But we’ve been right here behind an open, waiting door
You had me once and then you got right up and left
So go back to the girl, the one you want to make your wife
And there’s no ocean between you to cross
So, I will think of you a while, wish you the best and say farewell
Oh, my guitar-playing cowboy out West

Remember You So Well
04:21
|
|||
|
The night we met is still clear in my mind
I walked in and smiled, as you caught my eye
Wanted to talk to you, and ask of you your name
But I was shy and couldn’t find the words to say
Couldn’t find the words to say
Before I knew it, you’d packed up and you were gone
Until next night when you returned to sing your songs
The lights go down, I’m standing here and there you are
You said, come over here and talk with me a while
Come and talk with me a while
And ours was quite the story to tell
I remember it, remember you so well
Oh, and ours was quite the story to tell
I remember it, remember you so well
A few weeks later and I came to say goodbye
And through the crowd you saw me standing there and smiled
And that night when all the lights and sounds were gone
We talked for hours and I lay sleeping in your arms
I lay sleeping in your arms
Now it’s been years, I still think of you sometimes
And wonder if I have remembered it all right
And if you’ve thought of me at all down these years
If I imagined you or if it’s something real
Or if it was something real
And ours was quite the story to tell
I remember it, remember you so well.
And ours was quite the story to tell
I remember it, remember you so well.

Disarm Me
04:12
|
|||
|
Now you came and you found me
When nobody else had noticed I’d gone
Or if I’d been there at all with the noise and the crowds that surround me
Drowning me out, flooding the gates to my door
I’d gotten used to the way things were, that’s how I made them
In a safe house, I had taken so long to build
And I’d grown comfortable with the stillness that surrounds me
But sometimes I long, for someone to join me aboard
Now you’re here take me in and disarm me
One little piece at a time, please take it slow
Coz it’s been a while since I let me guard down and it scares me
But I want you to see me, laid bare before you, oh, oo
In the light of the sparks from the fire that you laid in the darkness,
I see a smile, flicker and dance ‘cross your face
And know that you see me through all of the noise of the crowd that surrounds us
I feel the comfort I had been missing in your embrace
Now you’re here take me in and disarm me
One little piece at a time, please take it slow
Coz it’s been a while since I let me guard down and it scares me
But I want you to see me, laid bare before you, oh, oo

Spin It Out
04:25
|
|||
|
Out here it’s quiet, I can see the stars at night
Hear the whistle of the wind around my door
And the seasons they have carried me
Through winter into springtime
And I see them in a new way than before
We came up here today
For a moment swept away
And time stood still when I was in your arms
You stole my heart today
There’s not a thing that I would change
Except to hold this for a moment, spin it out
Head down to the city streets, the sounds they echo round me
I looked over saw you standing at the bar
There was music, there was laughter
And we sat and talked the night through
As the minutes and the hours went playing out
We came up here today
For a moment swept away
And time stood still when I was in your arms
You stole my heart today
There’s not a thing that I would change
Except to hold this for a moment, spin it out
I want to steal you away, shut the world out for a day
All the chatter and the noise, let’s drown it out
You bring the film, I’ll pour the wine
We’ll sit with legs and arms entwined
Tell me stories of the days that came before
We came up here today
For a moment swept away
And time stood still when I was in your arms
You stole my heart today
There’s not a thing that I would change
Except to hold this for a moment, spin it out
Except to hold this for a moment, spin it out
Except to hold this for a moment and spin it out

This Is Love
04:02
|
|||
|
You’re here at my door so come in from the cold
Take your jacket and leave it downstairs
Come lay with me close, let me hold you tonight
And I’ll kiss away all of your fears
You can talk if you want to and not if you don’t
Though it’s dark, let me show you a light
In my arms you have nothing to fear
Feel my love
This is love
I came to your room, you looked almost like you
But so small in your hospital bed
Took your soft hand in mind, and I told you just know
That everything’s going to be fine
Then you asked for a song to take your mind out this place
And I sang to you Fields of Gold
In my arms you have nothing to fear
Feel my love
This is love
I can’t take this away, but I promise to stay
In your arms as long as you like
And when words aren’t enough, I will show you my love
In the way that I hold you
You can talk if you want to and not if you don’t
Though it’s dark, let me show you a light
In my arms you have nothing to fear
Feel my love
And this is love
This is love
This is love

Stay The Same
04:37
|
|||
|
I remember holding you from the very start
A miracle and wonder when you came into the world
I had waited for you and I’d wanted you so long
And you were more beautiful than anything and anyone I’d ever known
And down the years you grew and there were times we spent apart
And I was always thinking of you carried you with me inside my heart
And you wrote me letters, told me stories of your days
The laughter, loving, talking, joining and the parting of ways
And you’re comfort, love and inspiration, oh
And you’re beautiful in your heart and in your soul
And you know the time will pass and seasons they will change
Would you always stay the same?
Would you always stay the same?
Briony
Through the years I’ve loved you with a heart so strong and true
And hope you know there’s nothing on the earth I wouldn’t do for you
And every day I thank you for the person that you are
And know that I am here and will be always, whether near or I am far
And you’re comfort, love and inspiration, oh
And you’re beautiful in your heart and in your soul
And you know the time will pass and seasons they will change
Would you always stay the same?
Would you always stay the same?
And in my darkest hours you brought me to the light
And in your company, I believe that everything will turn out right
And you’re comfort, love and inspiration, oh
And you’re beautiful in your heart and in your soul
And you know the time will pass and seasons they will change
Would you always stay the same?
Would you always stay the same?
And you’re comfort, love and inspiration, oh
And you’re beautiful in your heart and in your soul
And you know the time will pass and seasons they will change
Would you always stay the same?
Would you always stay the same?

Wherever You Are
04:35
|

|
Now the seasons are changing and life’s rearranging
There’s a shift in the place that we know
And those stories those four walls could you tell you
From the first chapter a lifetime ago
But wherever you are, when you open the door
This is home
And wherever you are when you open the door
This is home
Home is wherever you are
And all beautiful things have their place and their time
And it’s good to know when to let go
Let the storybook keep on unfolding
Keep turning the pages, just want you to know
That wherever you are, when you open the door
This is home
And wherever you are when you open the door
This is home
Home is wherever you are
In a place half forgotten, you brought love and made it a home
I know it’s hard to let go but it’s sometimes in the leaving
That you make space
For new roots to grow, to grow
And wherever you are, when you open the door
This is home
And wherever you are when you open the door
This is home
Home is wherever you are
And wherever you are, when you open the door
This is home
And wherever you are when you open the door
This is home
Home is wherever you are

Go to sleep little one, little one
Go to sleep my dear
Go to sleep little one, little one

Moon and stars, little one little one
Moon and stars my dear
Go to sleep little one, little one
Sleep and never fear
Go to sleep little one, little one
Go to sleep my dear
Go to sleep little one, little one
Sleep and never fear

Emily Davies Exeter, UK
Undeniably steeped in the magic of the past, while still maintaining a refreshing air of the new, her songs blend bittersweet folk with a melodic mix of alt-country and a genuine pop sensibility and showcase a voice that's breathy, big and soulful too. She is a pure and supremely talented songwriter: spend a little time in her presence and drift away somewhere else entirely. ... more

it's just beautiful from start to end.
