He stands out in the rain Whilst his clothes cling to his frame He holds his chain in his hands As they tremble, as they tremble He shouts to St. Christopher Protect us from the pain He feels nothing His pupils dilate With St. Christopher in his hands Hanging from the chain He falls to his knees they bleed his fingers in the dirt Hes lost from his home With nowhere to go He hopes for some guidance From st Christopher His cigarette stained fingers Hold St. Christopher tighter His filthy nails mark his palms As he grasps The book by his feet Soaked through from the rain Is his safety net from the world It is all he really knows With St. Christopher in his hands Hanging from the chain He falls to his knees they bleed his fingers in the dirt With St. Christopher in his hands Hanging from the chain He falls to his knees they bleed his fingers in the dirt St. Christopher protect us St. Christopher Protect us

The History 03:48
What, am I looking for I can’t seem to think what’s through that door the words escape me but I know they’ll come back eventually my days are getting shorter my life is going nowhere fast im trying to save myself by bringing my happiness back The nights are long The days are short You and me know what’s in store I find Myself growing Older and older Without even knowing I need Something new in my life To help me Pass the time The nights are long The days are short You and me know what’s in store So grab a coat And come with me We will re-write The history Come closer x4 The nights are long The days are short You and me know what’s in store So grab a coat And come with me We will re-write The history

Wherever I go The sun never shines This dark black cloud Looms over my head All my thoughts Travel with me My soul begins to fade Theres nothing for me Only you can keep me together My eternity is in your hands All I ask To give me one last dance Just one more time Forever you and I Only you can keep me together My eternity is in your hands You and me, you and me Only you can keep me together My eternity is in your hands Only you can keep me together My eternity is in your hands

Fade Away 04:44
The flashing lights fly past through the city streets I never want this night to end The sunlight rises, it covers the rooftops Today turns tomorrow All my troubles fade away I realise I've got you and everything's OK All my troubles fade away I realise I've got you and everything's OK As we drive past the buildings on the city streets The night will not cease to fall The moonlight guides us As we find ourselves The dawn brings reality All my troubles fade away I realise I've got you and everything's OK All my troubles fade away I realise I've got you and everything's OK I feel on top of the world When I'm lying here with you All my troubles fade away I realise I've got you and everything's OK All my troubles fade away I realise I've got you and everything's OK

about

This is my first ever release and I am very flattered that you have taken the time out to listen and download. It really means a lot to me. I put a lot of effort and love into this record and I just want to share it with as many people as possible. Its been a tough journey and I've spent a lot of hours in makeshift recording studios, but I feel very privileged to be able to share it with you now. Please don't hesitate to tell your friends and family about me and the record, it would mean the world!

Thanks again,

William Stead
