0:01:49 > 0:01:54# I see his face
0:01:54 > 0:01:58# I see his face
0:01:58 > 0:02:01# Carved deep in the stone
0:02:06 > 0:02:10# Another mind you have taken away
0:02:14 > 0:02:19# But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
0:02:19 > 0:02:23# A trace of all that you have left behind
0:02:24 > 0:02:28# And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
0:02:28 > 0:02:33# Without a child for to call out your name

0:02:42 > 0:02:46# I call your name
0:02:46 > 0:02:49# But you can't hear me now
0:02:54 > 0:02:58# No, you don't recognise my face
0:03:02 > 0:03:06# Who are you?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11# Who are you?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14# And why do you call me that?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23# How dare you call me that
0:03:27 > 0:03:32# But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
0:03:32 > 0:03:36# A trace of all that you have left behind
0:03:38 > 0:03:41# And the auld wives swore that you were born to die

0:05:21 > 0:05:24This song is called Away From Today.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47# I hit the ground running
0:05:48 > 0:05:50# Running all the way from sin
0:05:54 > 0:05:57# She stole my heart faster
0:05:57 > 0:06:00# Than the bullet that I put in him
0:06:04 > 0:06:06# She took the case and I grabbed the wheels
0:06:06 > 0:06:10# She taught me to fend and taught me to steal away
0:06:14 > 0:06:16# My hands are shaking My knees are weak
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# The rush I crave the long you seek away
0:06:24 > 0:06:31# Away, away from today
0:06:34 > 0:06:39# Away from today
0:06:42 > 0:06:46# Away from today
0:06:51 > 0:06:54# I open my eyes and roll to my side
0:06:54 > 0:06:57# And the surprise of the morning sun
0:07:00 > 0:07:04# She took to the road and left me alone
0:07:04 > 0:07:07# Before a heartbeat had begun
0:07:10 > 0:07:13# So I drove through the night And chased it to light
0:07:13 > 0:07:17# The hunt lasted days I thought I'd lost my way
0:07:17 > 0:07:19# But there she lay
0:07:20 > 0:07:22# Now my hands are stained
0:07:22 > 0:07:23# My tears are black
0:07:23 > 0:07:26# Watch me as I turn my back and go
0:07:30 > 0:07:32# Away

0:09:10 > 0:09:18# I think about your lines and your hollows
0:09:18 > 0:09:22# I think of the sea
0:09:22 > 0:09:27# And its hallowed furrows

0:10:19 > 0:10:25# The sea now ultramarine
0:10:26 > 0:10:29# The sand, a drum
0:10:29 > 0:10:33# The sun, a shiny tambourine
0:10:36 > 0:10:42# A rising tide swells and recedes

0:13:55 > 0:13:56# I hope to God
0:14:07 > 0:14:11# When I first saw you my heart reached out for you
0:14:11 > 0:14:15# My arms stuck like glue to my sides

0:14:58 > 0:15:01# That worked out quite express

0:22:00 > 0:22:03# I spend my summer by the sea
0:22:03 > 0:22:07# To look for what I lost
0:22:07 > 0:22:10# Oh, once I had a dream or two
0:22:10 > 0:22:13# But I sold them at a cost
0:22:13 > 0:22:16# Often I would wonder why
0:22:16 > 0:22:20# We try so hard to stay alive
0:22:20 > 0:22:24# When nothing ever seemed to cease the pain
0:22:26 > 0:22:29# My best friend was a homeless man
0:22:29 > 0:22:33# With a beard to hide his face
0:22:33 > 0:22:36# Secretly I loved him so
