Saw Song 02:19
"I carry sadness in my marrow, in my core But I don't think I can carry all this sadness any more Oh, no No, no" So she let go...
2.
I blame you not Although my heart is breaking Love ever lost to me Love lost for good I blame you not Although you shine like a diamond There is no light in your heart I've known so long... I blame you not Although I swear my heart's gonna break I've seen you in a dream And seen your night draw in And seen inside your heart I've seen, my love, just how sad you are I blame you not, I blame you not

Alive 03:46
I'm surprised by the sun every day I wake up I'm surprised by waking up I'm surprised to see my blood still running through and out me I think I must have died, but... I've survived a slingshot from the darkest man I have cried a well of poisoned tears I'm surprised that your skin can let in so much sin But I know I'm still alive Looks like I'm alive I have tried to understand the hardest riddles Love and hate and love gone strange I am tired but I know to stop would be to drop Now I know I'm still alive Looks like I'm alive

Bonding 04:45
When I find peace of mind I will try to find you, I swear When I find peace of mind I will come and get you, I swear Wait for me... But I'm on fire, honey And it's burning me like ice does That I have to leave I have to leave you Cos I can't be me with you When I find peace of mind I will try to find you, I swear When I find peace of mind I will come and get you, I swear Wait for me... Just give me time, honey Let me feel the way on my own And I will return, if I can, I'll return So just let me be free When I find peace of mind I will try to try to find you, I swear

It's Time 03:19
Yes, my friend, I'm here Didn't I say I would be Here And now there's so little chance of escape Face me It's getting cold Face me You're growing old Face me
6.
Lost To Sea 02:48
Woke up really strange With pain in my face And my belly full of stones Like I'd lost you to the sea I'd lost you to the sea Went blind in the sun From searching so long Like I'd lost you to the sea I thought I'd lost you to the sea Saw you calling me Saw you clawing at the sea I was tied to the land But tore off my skin And threw myself in And I tried to sew stitches in the waves And screamed that I would save you But the water fell open And you were gone... So to wake up and see you Lying by me Was the sweetest relief I thought I'd lost you to the sea I lost you to the sea

June 15 02:44
Another cradle light on, promise Another layering of the time Be still as ice Hold on tight Goodnight Sleeping on Sweet dreams playing Knowing but not knowing this Understand Goodnight For you Bled clean for you and yours Missing now Moving past Amending Goodnight
8.
Your eyes are closed, your breathing slow I watch with wonder as you go Into a world where you'll find freedom So leave your worries here with me Leave all your worries right here with me If you're afraid of what draws near Just call my name and I'll appear Here at your side, keeping you safe As you go bravely on your way

Pianni 02:25
My brother, you've been good to me Strong and kind and brave to me Through it all, you've seen me through it all Oh brother, but you never call That's not true, you sometimes do But mostly when you're feeling sad It drives me mad But I still love you I do
10.
Once I knew someone who was so in love with someone She cried blood-red lovehearts from her eyes Her love knew well how her love could swell She was Baby Bloodheart And he was her beau... And her cheeks glowed red with tears she shed And her lips shake with the love they make She could explode, she feels it so And he knows...and he knows He's Baby Bloodheart's beau Once I heard Baby and her lover loving to each other This is what I heard....he said: "Stay with me, Baby Baby Let me be everything your Bloodheart needs Cos I love you so..." She said: "Oh my god...I can hardly breathe this love is bursting through my heart and lungs I'm afraid this love may lift me off this bed So hold me down!" Her cheeks glowed red with tears she shed And her lips shake with the love they make She could explode, she feels him so And he knows...and he knows He's Baby Bloodheart's beau...

For Me 04:33
Please Let things stay this way It's all so good It's all I need I'm grateful, believe me Please Hold this moment for me Please Hold this moment Keep this moment Steal this moment Freeze this moment for me Please Don't take this away...

about

"Unequivocally lovely."
THE GUARDIAN

"A very promising talent."
UNCUT

"It's impossible not to fall in love with Mara Carlyle."
ATTITUDE

"This is an incredibly pretty album. Amid the sea of anaesthetic "chill-out" music that floods our environment, it's a delight to know that there are still artists out there for whom making gentle, laid-back music does not preclude passion, innovation and - well, the title says it all - loveliness."
THE TELEGRAPH

"Very appropriately titled, delicious debut from Carlyle."
