Has the day begun? Waking but half inside the sun The bombshell has to wait And as I walk the city wakes By the river I lost track You lose your way And find it back Find your river Find your track You lose you way And then you find it back again So you’re sitting by the bay Watching a birdman fall this way When your wings are home made You tumble into a state of grace By the river, I found my track You lose your way And find it back Find your river Find your track You lose you way And then you find it back again You find it back And now we're across the bridge London bright Glitter like a snake of sun That's weaving through the clouds that roll by You arrive But there’s just a door that opens To a journey on the other side You lose your way You find your way You lose your way Until you get it back You'll get it back You lose your way Until you find it back again Find Your Track Lose your way And find it back Find Your River Find Your Track Lose your way Until you find it back again

And so I called the storm On route from Cape Horn I built the green towers of ice And the shortest of nights I’m lost in the deep white south Nothing can make me turn around No it’s not the end of the world But all the same, salt stings Not going to fall off the edge I think I heard an albatross sing My ship creaks like bones Ice cracks and wind moans There’s no one else around And no sign of solid ground The night is as alive As everyone who’s ever died No it’s not the end of the world But all the same, salt stings Not going to fall off the edge I think I heard an albatross sing Pull the sails down Turn the ship around No it’s not the end of the world But all the same, salt stings Not going to fall off the edge I think I heard an albatross sing No it’s not the end of the world But all the same, salt stings Not going to fall off the edge I think I heard an albatross sing

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sand Burns my feet Slips through my hands All that we have All that we’ve found Kiss joy as it flies While we’re on the ground Sweet, sweet rocks Teach me to be soft Burn bright sun Won’t you show me the frost? The pelican’s dive For all the fish that leap Bitter salt won’t you teach me the sweet Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet waves Wash all my troubles away Bring them back Crashing to shore As high as they rise They'll always fall Sweet, sweet rocks Teach me to be soft Burn bright sun Won’t you show me the frost? The pelican’s dive For all the fish that leap Bitter salt won’t you teach me the sweet

Tumble 03:27
I forgot my disguise Had to look you right in the eyes Under a snow blanket sky I won't cover my tracks so follow my steps tonight I won't cover my tracks so follow my steps tonight And now I'm drunk with snow Still falling far below Through all of the brightness and light All messy and unplanned Still find my feet and land Stand tall Knock at your door And in a state of grace It takes it's place And now I'm spilling all my words before they're due Tumble into you I'm falling through And now, I'm tumbling through your day..... Tumbling and falling into you.... Spilling all my words before they're due....
