01. The Lost Song Part 1

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh
Tonight
I'm free
So free

For the first time
I've seen
New life
New life

Start to breathe

And you came to me
In some way
And my life
Will never be the same

(And one day you'll feel me
A whisper upon the breeze)

And that night
As I dreamed
And I slipped away

To another place
Where you spoke to me
Of this day
Of this day

And you came to me
In some way
And my life
Will never be the same

And you came to me
In some way
And my life
Is like a hurricane

And you came to me
In some way
And my life
Will never be the same

If you're mine
And I'm yours
For life

If you're mine
And I'm yours
For life
For life

The fear is just an illusion

02. The Lost Song Part 2

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh
In a lifetime
There's a moment
To waken

To the sound of
Your heartbeat
Unbroken

And you're free now
And I will remain
Still dreaming

Alive and awake
The love that I once believed in

And one day you'll feel me
A whisper upon the breeze
And I'll watch you stand there
Unafraid

And I'll speak to you silently
And know that you'll hear me
The feeling is more than I've ever known

And one day you'll feel me
In a whisper upon the breeze
And I'll watch you stand there
Unafraid

And I'll speak to you silently
And know that you'll hear me

Come back to me
Please believe

The feeling is more than I've ever known

I can't believe it was just an illusion

03. Dusk (Dark Is Descending)

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh, Vincent Cavanagh
Lift my mind to the light because I'm frozen
Lift my eyes to the sky because I'm searching

To feel like I want it to
To be like I want it to
Because I'm trying
My love

To feel like I want it to
To be like I want it to
Because I'm trying
My love

Reach for my hand
And take me away

Away from this place
Because I know I don't belong here

Away from this place, I don't know, how did I get here?

Away from this place
Because I know I don't belong here

Speak to my heart
And take me away

Because I'm trying to be brave now
But I'm frozen in this place now
And It's so cold

And the hopes I had forsaken
We're replaced with such an aching
Please take me home

Because I'm trying to be brave now
But I'm frozen in this place now
And It's so cold

And the hopes I had forsaken
We're replaced with such an aching
Please take me home

But I keep it all inside
Inside
Inside
Inside

Through the tears I watched you fly
You fly
You fly
Far away from me
Far away from me
Far away from me

As the years went by
I found in time I smiled

I set my dreams alight
But I'll never forget you
I'll always live for you
All my love

You're not far away from me

04. Ariel

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh
I found you
In the dark
I found you
In the dark

Don't leave me
Here
Don't leave me

Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts
Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts

I dreamed of you
In the dark
You spoke to me
From afar
What you mean to me
Is clear
And I'll always be near

I found you
In the dark
I found you
In the dark

Don't leave me
Here
Don't leave me

Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts
Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts

I look into your eyes
See my life defined
I look into your eyes
See your heart in mine

05. The Lost Song Part 3

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh
Now that I've found you
I'm not going to leave you
The world keeps on turning
Spirits reflecting
My heart beats for you
Outside my body
Tonight, in my mind's eye
I need you to hold on

A promise of future
Dreaming in colour
Being together
Spirits reflecting
The feeling is so real
The beauty is endless
For tonight, in my mind's eye
I need you to hold on

Fire
At night
And souls
In flight
And time
Can heal
All scars
Concealed

Because love
Is what we are
How near
Or how far
And life
Will bring
The truth
In dream

06. Anathema

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh
It gave us a purpose, sometimes
It gave us a reason, and a rhyme
Looking for meaning in song
Such inner searching, so long
So long

But we laughed
And we cried
And we fought
And we tried
And we failed

But I loved you

I loved you.

Building foundations, straining
Such good intention, failing
Slowly we faltered from the line
Slowly dissolving our time
Our time

But we laughed
And we cried
And we fought
And we tried
And we failed

But I loved you

I loved you.

07. You're Not Alone

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh, Jamie Cavanagh with Vincent Cavanagh, John Douglas
Never could be what you wanna be
Never could say what you wanna say
Never could see
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

08. Firelight

Music by Daniel Cavanagh
[instrumental]

09. Distant Satellites

Music & lyrics by John Douglas, Vincent Cavanagh
You sold yourself away
You told yourself it's ok
States creating states
Flowing over the high line

And it makes me wanna cry
Caught you as I floated by
And it makes me wanna cry
Just another distant satellite

So let it take me away
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive inside of here

So let it take me away
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive inside these dreams

These isolated paths
Is all that I can see
My faith in gravity
Just about has a hold on me

And it makes me wanna cry
Caught you as I floated by
And it makes me wanna cry
We're just distant satellites

So let it take me away
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive inside of here

So let it take me away
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive inside these dreams

10. Take Shelter

Music & lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh
Timeless we are
Children running
Through...

I lost myself in you
Found myself in truth
Lose ourselves along the way

Sky is changing
Distant lightning
For the falling rain

I lost myself in you
Found myself in truth
Lose ourselves along the way
Find ourselves in time again

Lost myself in you
Found myself in truth
Golden summer skies
Shadows form, dance, and die

Lost myself in you
Found myself in truth
Brooding clouds not far away
Dark the storm that's coming...
