    A limited edition CD copy of my debut album 'One Way Ticket', released in 2006. I only had a run of a few hundred pressed at the time, most of them were sold through CD Baby's physical CD store but that no longer exists and was awkward for me to sell through anyway because I had to first ship a batch to their warehouse in the US. When they ran out a few years ago I thought all the CD's had finally gone but recently came across a small leftover batch which I'm now selling independently here.

    There is a booklet designed by Kate (from SoulJahm) with lyrics, some photos and credits included with each CD copy.
    For a small extra fee you can have your CD copy signed by me.

    There is only a limited number of CDs left so they are available as long as stock lasts.

about

I wrote this when I was 19, in 1999, one of the first bunch of songs I wrote. I never considered what the words meant until years later. From the moment it was written I heard it as an indie rock pop piano song with strings but it took 7 years before I could make that happen. It was the first track to be recorded for the "One Way Ticket" album.

lyrics

Summer haze you draw a breath
And now it's time that you confess
Hear the whisper of the breeze go by

August rising fades away
The memories of distant days
In your mind they flicker through the clouds

The sea will rise the wind will blow
Everything will come and go
Everything you touch is what you are
And fears you shake no time to know
Everything will come and go
Floating by you till you reach the shore

Circle round the world tonight
Looking for a sign of life
Climb the stars that catch you when you fall

Gold dust in the air you see
Another warning in too deep
If you could hear me now what would you say

The sea will rise the wind will blow
Everything will come and go
Everything you touch is what you are
And fears you shake no time to know
Everything will come and go
Floating by you till you reach the shore

Particles break out the seams
Photographs of summer dreams
Lose your way but you can still get home

Crowded thoughts spill out from you
Another word you oughtta choose
Hold me down this dizziness is blue

The sea will rise the wind will blow
Everything will come and go
Everything you touch is what you are
And fears you shake no time to know
Everything will come and go
Floating by you till you reach the shore
