1.	And I'll Watch Over You (demo) 01:43	lyrics	buy track
If there's nothing I will be just around for you and me well I'm a little star remote anonymous and without fear and I'll watch over you There you came of age in waters where you swam places that you'll never ever go again but I'll for you I'm a traveler now I'll hold you to the sky and give you life and I'll watch over you Look over head, there's a parachute coming through waters burnt and streaked with light left on for you And if no one hears your sound through the walls and doors forever they'll surround well I'll come in me I've got no god and no way to relay these heavy sins but I'll watch over you yes I'll watch over you.
2.	Place For Me (rough version) 01:59	lyrics	buy track
They told me just to grow and to learn and breathe they told me to collect all that i could see but i could never be them, no i could never begin just to win They told me to be strong when the winds would blow they told me to look up from the ground below but me i'll run away, find another little sunshine And I'll show when they set me free that I'll row where the seas take me and I know that I'll find a place for me And I'll show when they set me free that I'll row where the seas take me and I know that I'll find a place for me.
