I watch the leaves as they blow kisses
From my window to the street
I nailed it shut without a hammer
While the wolves were counting sheep
Then I get up to wash the dishes
Cause I've been sitting here for weeks
Getting lost in conversation
With a ghost who never speaks
I'm not the one who you walked out on
Though it broke my heart to stay
So bewildered by the silence
A catastrophic last refrain
It's Getting Light Outside
It's Getting Light Outside
It's Getting Light Outside
It's Getting Light Outside
God I don't know where I'm going
God I don't know where I'm going
God I don't know where I'm going
It's Getting Light Outside
It's Getting Light Outside
It's Getting Light Outside
It's Getting Light Outside

Parachute

Oh my god we’re gonna die
‘Cause this is not how aeroplanes fly
I should have brought my parachute
But I gave that up after I met you
No bailing out I’m staying in
If this plane goes down then no one wins
I should have called before I left
Or left a note upon your desk
Repeat first 2 lines of verse
Oh my god I must be high
‘Cause looking down there’s only sky
I could have used my parachute
But it’s too late for that excuse
No long goodbyes no sad hellos
I wish I’d worn some finer clothes
I could have called before I left
But that won’t be my last regret
Repeat first 4 lines of verse
Oh my god we’re gonna die
And you will never know what I
Thought of you on my way down
With every breath until the ground

Twenty One

You sailed out on the lake of doubt and I nearly drowned that day
It’s been too long I can’t keep holding on when I grasp there’s only space
I shall be released standing without feet in a body comprised of clay
I Don’t Wanna Be The One To Do What Your Father Done
When You Were Twenty-One
Uncage my head the nightingale that fled whispers ‘Don’t you die on me’
I laugh her laugh this unlikely life raft will never set me free
I Don’t Wanna Be The One To Do What Your Father Done
When You Were Twenty-One You Changed
With this water in my teeth
God it’s awfully hard to breathe
And there’s nowhere to put my knees to pray
There’s nowhere to put my knees
I’m floating further out of reach
Love will find a way
I Don’t Wanna Be The One To Do What Your Father Done
When You Were Twenty One

You swore from the beginning
While we were winning
I would lose
And cast you as the villain
So self-fulfilling
But not true
The hardest part of leaving (The hardest part of leaving)
Is being torn into (Is being torn in two)
When everything you wished for (something less familiar)
Was standing next to you
Maybe you were wrong
Maybe you were right
If you haven’t got the courage
Then it isn’t worth the fight
If you haven’t got the heart
Then there’s nothing left to gain
And you haven’t got the heart

Where's the End

You don’t know me like you used to
When we were laughing in the garden
And you don’t owe me no explanation
For surviving
Where’s the bottom?
Where’s the end?
Are you still living next to the drive in?
What are you watching through your window?
Where’s the bottom?
Where’s the end?
You are the lightening
I can’t defend
Think I’m over you Think I’m over you
I think I‘m over you I think I’m over you
I think I’m over you I think I’m over you
Think I’m over you I think I’m over you
Where’s the bottom?
Where’s the end?
Can we watch the sunrise for the last time again?
Can we watch the sunrise?

Oxygenpony New York, New York
HAF holds heart and soul inside hands of rhythm and hope, a curious but interesting mix of mellow and melancholia - like an up-beat Dream City Film Club, a saddened Talk Talk, or Leonard Cohen cracking a smile as Lou Reed tells a joke. It’s sad Britpop for happy dreamers. These thoughts drift in with the songs, but over it all is a powerful and solid style and beautiful heartfelt music. BT #86 ... more
