Hounds At Bay



Hounds At Bay

Hunger and craving
The jaws and the teeth
Lusting and longing
No chain, no leash
I will be hunted again
If you ever leave

Stay, you keep the hounds at bay
Stay, you keep the hounds at bay

Safe under cover
Of your pulse and your breath
Shielded and sheltered
In the heat and the sweat
If a distance should grow between us
I’ll have no defence

Stay, you keep the hounds at bay
Stay, you keep the hounds at bay

Riding Shotgun



Riding Shotgun
(co-write with Nathan Smith)

The tank is full, my bags are packed
There’s room for yours beside ’em
No more talking ’bout our dreams
Let’s go see if we can find ’em

C’mon and leave it all behind
Just think what you could find

    CHORUS
    By my side
    On any highway
    We’ll take this ride
    And make it our way
    I’m in it for the long run
    If you’re riding shotgun
    If you’re riding shotgun
    If you’re riding shotgun
    If you’re riding shotgun

Pick a point on the map
Big or small, it don’t matter
It ain’t about the destination
We can figure that out after

Well I can follow any road
Cuz I got you to hold

    REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO

BRIDGE
I’m soaking up this red sunset
And dreaming of the road ahead

    DOUBLE CHORUS
    (Side by side)
