The Race
Vocals: Cillian McHugh
Guitars: Cillian McHugh
What if you, if you were in my shoes?
Would they fit? And would they keep you warm?
What if you, if you were in my shoes?
What have I missed?
Time…
Time…
Time…
Goes on, moves fast
Stealing words of green tinted blue
Shadows of what we thought we knew
No more…
… time
… time
… time
is caught up, is made up

All good things come to an end
All good things come to an end
You don’t want them to
You don’t want them to
And all you’ve lived and all you own,
and all you’ve learned an all you’ve known
And all you’ve worked and all you’ve done
And everything you’ve become
And you don’t even know
And you don’t even know
And you don’t even know
And you don’t even know
And those you’ve loved and those you’ve known
And those you’ve seen and those you’ve shown
The ones who knew and understood
The ones you thought would stay for good
And you have to say goodbye
And you have to say goodbye
And you have to say goodbye
And you have to say goodbye
There Are No Words
Vocals: Cillian McHugh
Guitar: Cillian McHugh
There are no words, there are no words, there’s just hanging on
And holding out, and holding on, until it’s gone
Your broken heart, your broken heart, you thought had healed
You check the screen, you check the screen for any sign
For her reply, for her reply, but you know inside
The empty screen and what that means, it’s all you feel
You came too close, you got too close, like you did before
And every time, and every time, no matter what you try
Will come again, will come again…

Bass: Cillian McHugh
Harmonica: Cillian McHugh
Chances that I blew
And candles that I knew
And all now, as I see
Is all
People said, and tears were shed
We both knew it could only ever be
as unknown arms wrapped around me
unknown arms wrapped around me
unknown arms wrapped around me
Chances that I blew
and candles that I knew,
And all
Is all
All night tears were shed
We both knew it could only ever be
as unknown arms wrapped around me
unknown arms wrapped around me
unknown arms wrapped around me

Smells like summer rain
Smells like summer rain
The path is wet
But the air is warm
Feels like summer rain
Feels like summer rain
My clothes are damp
but my skin is warm
Memories of the past
Memories of the past
What I’ve learned
And what didn’t last
Chorus 1
And I know I’m too young to know
But I’ve asked those questions long ago
And April rain
Still falls
And I know
She’s right but she’s wrong
And passing showers
Only last so long
Memories of the past
Of games on the path
Memories of the past
What’s changed and what can last
Smells like summer rain
Smells like summer rain
What I’ve learned
And what’s the same
Chorus 2
And I know what I want to know
And I’ve seen it happen, I’ve seen it grow
While April rain
Still falls
And I know
It’s right but it’s wrong
And passing showers
Only last so long
Counting the Days
Vocals: Cillian McHugh
Guitar: Cillian McHugh
Walking home across the city from the train to the plane
You’re on your own, there’s no pity there’s no pain in vain
When you said good-bye on the platform this time
Like you said good-bye the first time
You know this place by day but it’s night this time
Cold breeze on your face, night air and the city lights shine
Across the water reflect the sights
Across the water you’ll trek tonight
Growing apart, time and distance will take their toll
But in your heart you know it’s wort it to make you whole
The signs are there but hope remains
’Cause love is to share, it’s worth the strain
Back on land back to normal doubt left behind
You’re almost home, just the drive and in your mind
You count the days till the next time
Like you count the days each time

What if the best advice was wrong?
Advice you followed for too long.
And you turn to the bottle or the rolling good times,
Did you find it there? Do you even care?
I remember the secret joy,
I remember your voice……
……..your eyes…..
I don’t know if i care for you,
And I don’t know if you want me to.
I don’t know………….
….You…..
I don’t care if you miss me too
Coz I don’t care (how I felt for you)
Coz if I care…….
I’d care
It Will Pass
Vocals: Cillian McHugh
Guitar: Cillian McHugh
Too many times,
But it will pass and come again,
As history plays out, the cycle comes round again.
And it’s back to the drawing board but you know its the same song over again
same song over again…..same song over again
You can only be a happy fool for so long,
Till you have to face the truth and accept that you’ve got it wrong.
And poets of the past speak truths that will always last
And the band sings your heart, drawing distractions
Too many times,
But it will pass and come again.

And you know it’s done, and you know it’s too late to talk
’cause nothing you can say, and nothing you can do will change what’s come
And you always knew this day could come,
But your heart still believed
Believed you could overcome, believed she was the one,
You tried to make it work, you thought you could make it work,
And even when the cracks began to show,
You never gave up hope
The four leaf charm, to hang on her arm,
The phone call in the sun, remembering as one, one last time
Back to how it used to be
and what we had.
Two months on, the time you bought is gone,
Today’s flight home, the last flight home
Three Cars Back
Vocals: Cillian McHugh
Guitar: Cillian McHugh
Harmonica: Cillian McHugh
Sitting three cars back from the red light
The fan’s on full, and the windows are down
The light’s change as you wipe the sweat from your face
But the oncoming cars
Mean nothing is going right
And you’re stuck three cars back
And you’re going nowhere
Take out your phone and glance at the screen
Still no reply, or answer to be see
And you know that it’s worth waiting for
But you know that you’ve been here before
And is that all this is?
Just another drunken kiss?
And you’re three cars back
And you’re going nowhere

He tries to speak his mind and he finds the line but the words that he chose don’t fit,
He tries to hide behind the disguise but he’s blind in the maze that he built himself,
And he knows he shouldn’t worry
And he knows that its only a song and that
There really is no hurry
But at the same time
It’s been a long long time and he’s falling behind and he feels he’s losing touch
It’s been a long long time and its on his mind and he knows that that’s enough
It’s been a long time he knows
It’s been a long time he knows
He tries to sing his song but its been so long, the chords sound wrong and the melody’s gone
He’s forgotten the lines that were in his mind, he can’t shake the feeling that he’s stealing from someone
And he knows there’s something better
And he knows that a reason will come
And the next time will sound better
But at the same time
It’s been a long long time and he’s falling behind and he feels he’s losing touch
It’s been a long long time and its on his mind and he knows that that’s enough
It’s been a long time he knows
It’s been a long time he knows
