Catch My Breath

I wake in the morning
You're there before me I
Catch my breath
As I step out the front door
Kiss me goodbye and I
Catch my breath
A meeting not listening
Your arms around me I
Catch my breath
Oh oh All it takes is
Don't give me answers
Making me wait
Make me think you've had a change of heart
And is it over
I'm walking from work and
You're there beside me I
Catch my breath
In line at the check out
You're waiting behind me I
Catch my breath
Alone on a bus stop
I wish you could find me I
Lose my mind
Oh oh all it takes is
Don't give me answers
Making me wait
Make me think you've had a change of heart
And is it over
Catch my breath and I lose my mind
Catch my breath and I lose my mind
Catch my breath and I lose
I lose my mind

If I could sift out
All the elements
Maybe I could find out
What it's all about
A grain of sand
Or beach in summer tones
An autumn leaf
Or an ocean to the depths below
Well I took a step back
Then I made it three times a million
And what did I see
I saw the thing that keeps us turning
A lover's glance
Or fans at a Beatles show
A drop of dew
Or an ocean to the depths below
A bird in fight
or just a wish for a higher place
A single step
On an upwards staircase
Oh I took a step back
Then I made it three times a million
And what did I see
I saw the thing that keeps us turning
Oh oh, keeps us turning
Fires burning, yearning or even hurting
Love
All that was left in my Watchglass after all

Found You
02:40
|

Found ya in the cool clean mountain air
Made of softness and some hardness
With a little darkness
In the burning light
Elvish disposition
And a devilish smile
Soft as oooh oooh
Smooth as mmm mmm
Deep as any ocean
Warm as sunshine
Like embers glowing on a rainy day
Oh you can take me away
Found ya in a grey green wooded grove
You were looking out
At your world
With a better view
Was to be for you
A semi-detached position
From all they knew
Soft as oooh oooh
Smooth as mmm mmm
Deep as any ocean
Warm as sunshine
Like embers glowing on a rainy day
Oh oh you can take me way

Not Here

Guess I was your answer
To a little playing in the sun
Could be there for every little thing
You'd just call and I'd come
And hey I'd make you smile
Each and every single day
I could be lost
You'd always find me
And that's how we'd play
Why'd you have to go so soon
I thought we were best of friends
I guess I was twice as big
When I was growing next to you
Never had to try too hard
Could always find something to do
And now I seem to have lost
A whole arm and leg at least
You always had the perfect notes
Flowed easily to the nicest beats
Why'd you have to go so soon
I thought we were best of friends
Did this have to be a goodbye tune
The sweetest love
At a bitter end
Not here here anyway

Don't Blame John

Does all this silence give you space
To turn things over
I hope you get it bright side up
It was never meant to fall
Apart like this
Oh we were never really s'posed to
You know I feel with you
You make me laugh
I make you smile
And there's no need for good bye
I dig you out you lift me high
Oh high
Can I keep on running with you
Close by me
I never meant to say good bye
I want you with me through all of this
Oh babe we were never really s'posed to
You know I feel with you
You make me laugh
I make you smile
And there's no need for good bye
I dig you out you lift me high
Oh high
You told me in the beginning I was a gem
We had a good thing going
Don't ruin it
But we gave a little more and more and more
Hey John, is yes always the answer?
Look at this mess.
We said no first.
And then yes yes yes

Storm
03:05

So you started breathing
I saw you come to life
Now lightning strikes around you
Just don't let it inside
Now your wings are beating
Take me on your flight
Thunder claps and rain may fall
Take it in our stride
See the storm it's coming
Over the horizon
Now we shelter
Or so we run
You say you saw it coming
Watch the storm and be the storm
So you found your meaning
Break it to me right
If lightning strikes around us
We won't let it inside
Fly above the darkness
Hold me close so tight
Thunder claps and rain may fall
Heaven has it's price
See the storm it's coming
Over the horizon
Now we shelter
Or so we run
You say you saw it coming
Watch the storm and be the storm

Anywhere

You got so destructive
After making us live
I wanna just glide over
The valleys that we pass
Ups have downs
But downs are proof
The bedrock's made of something real
And music made
The thing we share
And it rides under
And above us
Love was first
With it we bear
And we go anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere
Babe how high can we go
What about the next low
Can you take it easy
I'll never let you go
Ups have downs
But downs are proof
The bedrock's made of something real
And music made
The thing we share
And it rides under
And above us
Love was first
With it we bear
And we go anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere

Grey on Grey

Blind princess running down the stars
Playing in the dark
Lit by reflections
Neon lights wet streets
We all want to shine so bright
I want to know if you remember
All of my memories
I want mine to fade away
You just leave me hung and haunted now
I'm scattered and she is gone
Just like the rain
Falling from the heaven's
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey on grey
And when you fell on me
Cold yet so soft
You soaked through to my skin
Shivered
And I was gone
Lost in a kind of grey on grey
I'm like snow on a summer's day
I know I'm not meant to stay
I'm scattered and she is gone
Just like the rain
Falling from the heaven's
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
Blind princess
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
Blind princess
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
In a kind of grey

Serendipity and the Dog
02:46

Today the sun is burning
Children are fighting
Parents are lashing out
The poorest stray dog
Comes up and lays
A stick at my feet
But I won't play
Oh hey
I'll see you any day
Up down high or low
And I can take those blows
I could be there
And ease it from you
I backed my car into a tree
And it was just last night
A truck backed into me
My second coffee
It's one too many
Oh I should really eat
But I'm not hungry
Whoa ho
I'll see you any day
Up down high or low
And I can take those blows
I could be there
And ease it from you
Today did you go walking
Through crowded streets and malls
Today did you go walking
Was that your day?

Hurricane
02:39

In the aftermath of the hurricane
I wandered apart from the rest
Torn from you and you from me
Shattered remains all that's left
Oh oh find me
Oh oh find me
There's nowhere i can be
A little peace and company
I never knew this storm could take this toll
We loved and laughed
And now we fall
Like the oar that sank to the seabed
Couldn't make it out of the storm
Wish you were here to be lost with me
It's so damned cold
You were warm
Oh oh find me
Oh oh find me
There's nowhere i can be
A little peace and company
I never knew this storm could take this toll
We loved and laughed
And now I wonder if I am
I can't see anyone
Was I there on my own
Trying to find the way home

Siren
02:33

How much further will she take you
Sirens like to snare
She'll keep and and tease and entangle
With the softest of nets
Soothing warming words
And you'll dream only of her bed
But she'll never take you there
She won't let you out
She won't let you in
She'll never let you go
She'll always keep you so
She'll make it warm to the depths
She'll make it mellow
But she won't let you come too close
Or get too far no
The siren called you
You fell for her
Now there you are
She won't let you out
She won't let you in
She'll never let you go
She'll always keep you so
She won't let you out
She won't let you in
She'll never let you go
She'll always keep you so
Ooooooh ooooooh ooooooh

Watchglass Sydney, Australia
Watchglass is a Sydney music duo that began in 2017 as a four piece-band. They have over time morphed into a recording duo, creating electro/guitar indie songs of the esoteric vibrational musing variety. We make stories from the little moments about people and dreams, always with a positive spin no matter how desperate. We hope you've found something to connect with and enjoy. ... more

First on my Bandcamp album playlist, Mr Cagey's Can of Worms. My oh my, the most heartfelt, honest and rarefied acoustic ep I've heard. Smack in a raw emotional place not quite healed. Stunning! Gina
