Here’s a snow ball
Of your big beautiful island
Shake it til it snows
Or rains
I’ve made it for you
I heard you cry this morning
I know how much you miss swinging
The blue sea
Iorana
Until you do go back
You heart will not belong to me
Iorana
A thousand miles away
I’ll have to wave and say goodbye
Iorana
My lover couldn’t stay
Iorana
Until you do go back
You heart will not belong to me
Iorana
A thousand miles away
I’ll have to wave and say goodbye
Iorana
My lover couldn’t stay

(lyrical notes)

Look at her
She’s clumsy and poor
No one will ever be sure
What is it she does with her life
Strangest of girls
She never gets out
Find a friend you need someone
Posters hanging on the walls
She talks to them
When she’s alone
Hey John Martyn
I wrote you a song
And laughs and suns and afternoons
Wasted away
Alone
We’ll find a way to love you
From now on
Strangest of girls
She never gets out
Sorry we had never seen
The light of day
On what you bring
The world is better with you in it
Don’t go just now
We’d love you to sing
And laughs and suns and afternoons
Wasted away
Alone
We’ll find a way to love you
From now on

Summer rain hits different when you're in it,
But I was inside, waiting for the clouds to move,
Doing my thing, I blinked and nearly missed it,
There outside in the rain all I saw was you.

All my life,
I’d never let nobody see inside.

Only you,
Only you.

People use love as a fix here in the city,
But time moves fast when you're floating here this high,
Fears of a boy fall silent when you with me,
I can't wait for the day I call you wife.

All my life,
I’d never let nobody see me cry.

Only you,
Only you.

I never knew life could be this good,
All seems so easy with you,
Found me without even looking,
A lonely life me with no you.

When I'm next to you,
Everything looks a little clear,
When I'm next to you,
The world is not so dark,
When you're next to me,
Suddenly my heart feels safety,
When I'm next to you, feels like I am home.

Showed me what love truly looks like,
Patient and gentle you are,
I haven't been easy to deal with,
You pulled down all of my walls.

When I'm next to you,
Everything looks a little clear,
When I'm next to you,
The world is not so dark,
When you're next to me,
Suddenly my heart feels safety,
When you hold me close, I'm home, right here in your arms.

I see you, you see me, every part of the parts of me,
There’s no need to hide, oh oh,
I know for sure, you're the one who was made for me,
With every look in your eyes, right here in your arms.

Your arms, your arms.

My heart is a suitcase,
Waiting to be packed,
My cares,
Are everywhere,
My hopes are sitting in the corner,
Waiting for the day,
A dream wanders over.

Cos I’m on a ticket I can’t get off,
It could be heaven, it could be hell,
But when I feel like it’s time to stop,
I’ll be standing up ringing the bell.

Gonna throw in all my thoughts and all my feelings,
Zip it up, tie the tag,
Check it in, wait and see,
If it gets there,
Guess I know,
That’s my bag.

My mind is a clutter,
I can’t clear up,
Too many choices in the way,
I stumble with all the best intention,
So open to,
A good suggestion.

Cos I’m on a ticket I can’t get off,
It could be heaven, it could be hell,
But when I feel like it’s time to stop,
I’ll be standing up ringing the bell.

Gonna throw in all my thoughts and all my feelings,
Zip it up, tie the tag,
Check it in, wait and see,
If it gets there,
Guess I know,
That’s my bag.

I remember,
The afternoons of make believe and
Music,
Oh how we’d sing and shout!
And I’m wondering,
How long before we’ll all be leaving,
Every time that I’m in your house.

I can hear it,
The symphony of pots and pans and
Father,
As quiet as a mouse,
Please forgive me,
The way that I still clitter clatter,
Every time that I’m in your house.

Guess it’s only,
Another four walls and a staircase,
I know,
It’s time that I got out,
But Mother,
Your voice is in the walls of this place,
Every time that I’m in your house.

You bring me coffee every morning while I lay in bed,
You read the paper, take a shower, it’s the same every day,
Never changes,
But I love our little ways.

I make you toast the way you like without the edges on,
You go to work but call me straight away 'cause you already miss home,
And our little world,
And all our little ways.

You,
Are the reason that I smile,
The good thing in my life,
You,
You may not ever see,
Just what you mean to me.

Wanna spend the rest of my life,
Holding your hand, stood by your side,
Wanna be the girl on your arm,
Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,
In happy endings, with your best friend,
Like a fairy tale.

Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,
Wanna be your everything,
Wanna see how life turns out,
The good the bad and all that’s in between,
Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,
Wanna share my life and all our little ways.

You stroke my hair when I lay over you and watch TV,
I rub your shoulders when you're stressed, I try to take your cares away,
We've got each other and all our little ways.

You,
Are the reason that I smile,
The good thing in my life,
You,
You may not ever see,
Just what you mean to me.

Wanna spend the rest of my life,
Holding your hand, stood by your side,
Wanna be the girl on your arm,
Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,
In happy endings, with your best friend,
Like a fairy tale.

Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,
Wanna be your everything,
Wanna see how life turns out,
The good the bad and all that’s in between,
Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,
Wanna share my life and all our little ways.
