Moon shines on the harbour, a silence that sings
A language no longer anybody speaks
Blue flash of lightening, running through the streets
Rain falls, we're freezing and this is when I feel,
this is when I feel
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder, if this is all there is
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder, if this is all there is
Floating on the water, an angel on the sea
Eyes closed in prayer and this is when I see
this is when I see
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder, if this is all there is
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder, if this is all there is

It Haunts

Fourteen years old, the innocence gone
As the world rocked and the bombs dropped
No there's no escape from the rolling tapes
And the pictures of dead loom large in your living room
You've been shaking it all out, shaking it all out
Down at the clubs, shaking it all out
But it sticks like fog, like oil it clogs
'Till you can't get it out, no you can't get it out
And all you can make out are the cries that haunt you
And each morning we're born to a new media storm
And each evening you die as the flames rise high
A tower on fire and they say they'll enquire
But the death toll looms large in your living room
You've been shaking it all out, shaking it all out
Down at the clubs, shaking it all out
But it sticks like fog, like oil it clogs in your mouth
You can't get it out, no you can't get it out,
And all you can make out are the cries that haunt you
It haunts, it still haunts
It haunts, it still haunts

Minotaur

It all changed that day I heard the Minotaur say
Awake! A voice is calling you
And I knew I couldn't stay
It's like I got lost in my head
Years just following the thread
But now the voice that's calling me is silent instead
Maybe I'll find my way out of here
It all starts with no 'I'
Walls are just an illusion
Little do you know the path is inside
It can all change this day
The here and now is o.k.
Awake! A voice is calling you
It will show you the way

The Only Constant
04:35

Before the earth moved around the sun
Back when our knowledge was so young and simple
When we knew how to measure days
When were happy just to gaze in wonder
Love must have been a different thing
When you had Gods to whom you'd sing
But now we're cast without a map
The only thing you can attach to
Is the one who loves you
Just when you thought you'd got in time
They tell you time is not a constant
So what on earth can you rely
When everything seems ever changing, changing
Love must have been a different thing
Before the world was cut so thin
And now we're left with all the pieces
The only thing you can believe in
Is the one who needs you
Some say that constants are impossible
Some say that constants don't exist
Well, I like to think, though it's absurd
When all is said and done
We're maybe the only constant in this world

Man at Sea Bristol, UK
Man at Sea is the moniker of singer-songwriter and composer David Hewson.
Described as a
cross between Rufus Wainwright and Thom Yorke, his songs combine sparse arrangements with soaring melodies, shot through with lyrics that have an existential thread and often a dark undertone, dealing with themes of identity and the modern-day loss of spirituality.
