Who 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Wait, I wait, come cloud or clear Even if every light goes out I’m still waiting here Trembling a little Too little to show Waiting to behold What my heart already knows Who, if I cried out, would hear me? Who, if I cried out, would hear me? Around me the wind Blows angels and clowns While I wait on the ground It’s a little like dreaming You can scream and Still not make a sound What turns them around? Who, if I cried out, would hear me? Who, if I cried out, would hear me?

A Year Ago 03:34
lyrics

Today a year ago It was very cold And it snowed And it snowed Today A year ago The clock struck that same way A year ago Standing over the grave And a band played There should’ve been more people But it was raining hard Then it started to snow Don’t want to think about it Today it’s warm It’s slipping away A year ago It was starting to rain, no snow A year ago It was starting to snow Don’t want to think about it No Don’t want to think about it The clock struck that morning In just the same way A year ago

Last Beautiful Day 06:00
lyrics

Leaving Paris in the rain It’s getting clearer now Hollow faces in the rain Hidden from me now, masks from forgotten plays My…my only saving grace My…my only saving grace Every fact and fraud Pulsing like the eyes of a God You won’t believe what I see Come share it with me Leaving Paris in the rain It’s finally clearing now A dirty face, a gorgeous face Split at the seams, paper thin and worn away My…my only saving grace My…my only saving grace Every fact and fraud Pulsing like the eyes of a God You won’t believe what I see Come share it with me No darling, not cold and grey Behold… The last beautiful day…. No one, anywhere can answer your questions No one, anywhere can answer your questions Given time you’ll forget all of these things Given time…you’ll forget everything You won’t believe what I see Come share it with me No darling, not cold and grey Behold…behold The last beautiful day You won’t believe what I see (The last beautiful day….) Come share it with me (The last beautiful day….) No darling, not cold and grey Behold… The last beautiful day….

Dissolve 04:33
lyrics

An open window in a country house You - you almost stepped out Just among the trees See the light change the leaves Til the sun goes down And the sun goes down Streets I chanced upon You just danced on And vanished Lost in the distance Dissolve Dissolve Dissolve Dissolve Chasing the distance Dissolve Dissolve Dissolve Your photograph Fading in my hand You … Fading in my fading hand (In my ever-fading hand) Your scent upon the breeze Brings the stars to their knees As the sun goes down And the sun goes down Lost in the distance Dissolve Dissolve Dissolve Dissolve Chasing the distance Dissolve Dissolve Dissolve

Everything 05:36
lyrics

Sitting here Drifting back over the days (Rain taps along the pane) Every stored up shame and pride Lit by a million stars that a million years ago died It’s all behind you now It’s all behind you now Where’s everything I love? Where’s everything I love? Walking on through all I’ve done And all that’s still undone (Not at peace with either one) When did it start? Oh I want to step right out of my heart I want to step right out of my heart It’s all behind you now It’s all behind you now Where’s everything I love? Where’s everything I love?

For That Girl 05:10

(Did you notice me at all? Did you notice me at all?) Come with me share a dream with me I dream in blue I dream of you Used to be I’d bounce you on my knee Oh too high to see How the birds fly Away…. Not a day goes by I don’t sigh For that girl For that girl Two passing ships, passing Two parting lips, laughing To dream a longing lifetime (A long and longing life) Longing for more More time More time with you Come with me A dream for two Share a dream with me I dream in blue I dream of you Come with me A dream for two Share a dream with me Watching time crawl Time on the wall Watch it crawl Time’s shadow crawls Two passing ships, passing Two parting lips, laughing To dream a longing lifetime (A long and longing life) Longing for more More time More time with you Flying up, up and away Flying up, up and away Not a day goes by I don’t sigh For that girl For that girl Flying up, up and away...

How To Be Cruel 04:33
lyrics

5am It’s here again I guess here comes the sun There’s a shadow in the dark No one can’t see But you - the darker part of me Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived At least you survived And it’s all thanks to you Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived A t least you survived You taught me how to be cruel Take it out on you Take it out on me Round and round To dance don’t mean you’re free Talk about change Talk is cheap And cheap’s More than enough for you and me Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived At least you survived And it’s all thanks to you Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived A t least you survived You taught me how to be cruel I’m glad I’m not you I’m glad that we’re through All the time I spent Wondering how and where I went Wrong I know it’s not me But I feel it must be So wrong so wrong wrong wrong Maybe that’s why I Live each day to defy The Everest lie You’d have everyone believe You see I’m glad I’m not you Can you say the same about me? I don’t care if you do I can’t stop practicing Your lessons in How to be cruel Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived At least you survived And it’s all thanks to you Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived A t least you survived You taught me how to be cruel Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived At least you survived And I’ll never forget you Why you wasting time Reliving old crimes At least you survived At least you survived And I won’t forget how to be cruel

Hush 04:29

The birds of early morning Are calling Among the trees The night is finally dying On the stone’s ridge Let’s go on hiding So I can love you forever I’ll sleep at your feet And watch over your dreams They're close behind us now Hush, hush, hush They're close behind us now Be quiet now Be quiet now They’re close behind us now Hush, hush, hush Be quiet now Be quiet now They're close behind us now Let's go on hiding So I can love you forever Hush, hush, hush, hush

Ten Cherry Trees 04:02
lyrics
buy track
This land is good (This land is good) But much too lonesome Tell me what you see Not one house Not one tree This is a wasteland It’s a wasted land The vineyard went dry Every scarlet flower died The vineyard went dry Every scarlet flower died When I die Sell our house and buy here All this mountainside Ten Cherry Trees The day we were married We planted ten cherry trees A thorn in my heart That little orchard there Needs a stream It’s nothing yet But strong hands will help you sleep (Sleep in peace) When I die Sell our house and buy here All this mountainside Ten Cherry Trees The day we were married We planted ten cherry trees Now that little orchard That little orchard needs a stream It’s nothing yet But strong hands will help you sleep Sleep in peace Cover it with trees Cover it with trees

about

Created over the course of 4 months and a dodgy wifi connection. Simon starts it all with inspired grooves which Ed ruthlessly rearranges and sings over (and over and over) until he's tired. Then back to the interweb where Simon smiles....mostly. They were going to call the band Simon Smiles but Splitting Stations won out in the end.

Splitting Stations Woodstock, New York

Simon Rider and Ed Charles are Splitting Stations. After meeting online via the Audio Issues Insiders Program (check that out online) the two teamed up. Simon writes music in England then Ed adds lyrics (and some other bits) in the United States. The two hope to meet one day but with a pandemic in full swing, the stations will remain split.
