Sweet Girl 03:23
she draws the curtains on the windows so the night doesn't fill up all the space the belly of the horse in the corner swells with the shadows of an army base chorus and sweet sweet sweet sweet girl I want to love you this room creaks with all the age of her worry and it shivers in the timbers 10 feet high with hollow sides, in the belly of the beast she often crys out chorus sometimes I worry what the day will bring will it bring joy and happiness to sing and when it rolls up to the gates at night will she know it ain't worth the fight chorus I'm going to love you

Boat People 03:51
Roll me away Hide me in the corners of your ship To stay Won’t say a word if you guarantee I’ll be safe What’s taking so long Dreamed the journey would be grand Thought we’d be ushered in with the band On the South China sea Heard there were pirates boarding ship Let me be The ocean grows wider with each day Out of reach Why are we going so slow Dreamed the journey would be grand Thought we’d be ushered in with the band When we arrived We met men Who ate gold and silver pie Asked me for a drink Told me that freedom, yeah, well, it don’t come cheap And with a wink Assured me it was only a matter of time And in the blink of an eye All these colours will be yours Dreamed the journey would be grand Thought we’d be ushered in with the band When we arrived We met men Who ate gold and silver pie

Joy 04:27
I looked up towards the sun for brighter days that lay ahead and when the sun refused to shine I blamed it on all but me I looked up toward the sky for clearer nights that lay ahead and when the clouds refused to leave I realize these clouds will not part if it all does not start with me chorus I want to feel the joy of a child the peace of a baby I want to feel the love, love, love, love all around I want to feel the love, love, love, love all around I looked up towards the stars to trace my path that lay ahead and when they all would not align I blamed it on all but me I stood up amongst the crowd to shine this light that lay within and when the bulb refused to burn I realized these clouds will not part if it all does not start with me chorus now the rain keeps falling over my head so I rose up to the sky let it wash sweet and kind over me 'cause I realize these clouds are a part and it's all got to start with me chorus (x2)

David Ward London, UK

"Imagine Jeff Buckley’s untethered falsetto with Stevie Wonder’s warm, grainy tenor...David Ward has mastered both, plus all points between. Ward is clearly a versatile and ambitious talent." Uncut
