How I know your face, the way you shift your eyes
All our friends would say, maybe we should wait, but they can’t see what’s coming
And to this day, when everything breaks, you are the anchor that holds me And that is why we’ll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move.
You come in, I can read you – you’re my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive
When the days are long, and the thunder with the storm, can always get me crying
You can make my bed, I’ll fall into it, shattered but not lonely
Because I never knew a home, until I found your hands, when I’m weathered
You come to me, you’re my best friend
And that is why we’ll always make it
How I know your face, all the ways you move,
you come in, I can read you – you’re my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive
And when we’re making love
I’d give up everything up for your touch
How I know your face, all the ways you move,
you come in, I can read you – you’re my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive
When you go to work all the day I wait
For you to come home, recount our time, in our little place

still pure. and still shooting stars around your heart.
night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
and I love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you’re crying in your sleep
i wish you’d never learnt to weep
don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons, can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you’re crying in your sleep
i wish you’d never learnt to weep
don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there’s stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i’ll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
if love’s the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
I’ve found a place I’ll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth I realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up and waste our time
lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you’re crying in your sleep
i wish you’d never learnt to weep
don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there’s stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
I’ll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
pure and simple just for you
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe…
Don’t you remember me ? How long ago one gorgeous night…
We let the stars go free…
