Your Light Shines
03:23
|
|||
In the early morning
When the sun‘s not up
The dawn chorus sings
Your light shines
Your light shines
And warms the day
Your light shines
And warms my heart
I used to wake before the day
And wait for the light
With you close by
It always shines

Reflections
02:16
|
|||
From a distance
I see your face
Through the foggy night
I see myself
From afar
I hear your voice
In your words
I hear myself
Like a breeze
A ghostly touch
Through molecules
I feel myself
In the dark, we are one
Made the same, I disappear
|

Life can be a lonely mission
When seasons come and go
And days turn light and dark
Thrown out into the wild
With no direction but to go
To steadily go on
I run in circles, run in squares
Tracing out a space that is my own
And in this space I let you in
To fill it with a beat
My heart resonates in yours
Now the seasons come and go
The future‘s running at high speed
Leaving spirals in the sand

Coral Dream
03:47
|
|||
In my coral dream
I swim with you
In water cold and deep
Let go and drift
My coral dream, your coral dream
My fins, they shine
In the light that breaks
Like a rainbow in the sea
I swim with you
In water cold and deep
Let go and drift
In the coral reef
I stay with you
Down below where I am free

River Ghost
04:32
|
|||
By the river, by the sea
In the water, at the beach
High-pitched cries to lure you in
I‘ll wait until you comply
A man lost in the wilderness
Or lost in his own mind
Will start to hear my frantic call
And then begins the fall
Come into my solitude
What you have or don‘t or want
It‘ll turn your heart and mind
It‘ll make you stay behind
In the river, in the sea
I float and guard the empty shore
You trust in freedom like a cure
It cannot break my spell
By the river, by the sea
In the water, at the beach
In the frosty cold I give to you
Strength to carry on
By the river, by the sea
I put this shroud onto your bones
Guide you through my barren land
It‘ll be the last you‘ll wear

Spiraling
03:15
|
|||
At first it doesn‘t look so bad
Bluebells still in bloom
Cotton balls like giant snow
Dreamy-coloured sights
Entire lives were lived
For better or worse
Coming here for shelter
Holding onto shades
Inching foward on sore feet
Joyous wonders all around
Kindness promised, never found
Lured into a dream that‘s turned
Nettles grow where orchids sang
Pain reminds of where to go
Quietly, with crimson force
Misty hopes to clouded fears
Right below the broken bridge
Sits a lonely soul
Unaware the fish have left
Vanished up and down the stream
Winding down my lonely mind
Exiled to the shores
Yelling along frosty winds
Zero colours left
|

Dawn
03:15
|
|||
In the dawn, my love
I sing this song to you
To mend this lonesome heart
I call to you through sleepy trees
But if you don‘t listen to the wind
Don‘t swim and feel the cold
You won‘t hear me, you won‘t hear me
Through the noise, through the noise
In the dawn, my love
I serenade alone
Pretending you will hear
My call through roaring seas
|

Fairy Light
03:41
|
|||
All the stars in the sky
Twinkle like your eyes
And the nightingales scurries
Along the moonlit path
On the edge of the forest
The fox lays down and goes to rest
On a branch above the mighty owl
Meditates in starlit spheres
A field in faded light
Fall into silent darkness
A stage on which I wait
All around peaceful bliss
Amidst the fireflies
And their fairy light
|
||||
9. |
||||
Wolves in my garden
Hunting, waiting for me
This house has no doors
No one‘s been inside
Broken lights flicker
Smoke escapes the roof
Home is where my ghosts are
Home is here alone
A lost memory
A pain not healed
They linger around
Waiting to scrape on the wound
To dig up the tears
Monsters in my mind
Sleeping, waiting for you
Locked up in their prison
No one‘s been inside
Sometimes their bodies twitch
Their eyes look through mine
Home is where my ghosts are
Home is here alone

The Mountain
03:48
|
|||
The river flows
So gently in the land
Breaking on small pebbles
Laughing with no voice
But I am like the mountain
Standing still
Everything is moving
But I am standing
On my own
The clouds go by
White pecks on blue
Telling distant stories
Observers of the world
The air is soft
Around my hills
Filling my valleys
With misty tales of love
|

Take Off
04:46
|
|||
This room is filled with so much bliss
Laughing eyes and sparkling smiles
Every now and again the walls
Seem to shake a bit
Your eyes from a million miles
Piercing through the crowd and noise
For one moment, the clocks stand still
And the walls fall down and we take off
I look around and listen in
So many words, so little space
While I try to take it in
My own words freeze inside
Through the dark we forge ahead
Alone in space and time
Once my feet touch the ground again
The floor won‘t stop to sway
|
||||

||||
Be a tree they said
Be a tree they said
And the forest I became
Build some walls they said
Build some walls they said
And the fortress I became
Grow some roots they said
Grow some roots they said
And the earth and I were one
Close your eyes they said
Close your eyes they said
And the darkness I became
|

The Wind Blows Cold
03:17
|
|||
The wind blows cold into my face
Cutting me with icy blades
The wind blows cold across this land
Unearthing shapes from times long past
The wind blows cold into my face
The wind blows cold across this land
The wind blows cold into my face
But I‘m not here, no, I am gone
