Snow

I’ll astrally project myself into the life of someone else
I’ll astrally project myself into the life of someone else
someone else
As the day resolves to night I notice
I have made my world go out of focus
I’ve been through the best of times
that didn’t even touch the sides
I’ve been through the worst of times
that never even came to light
I’ve been through the best of times
that didn’t even touch the sides
I’ve been through the worst of times
that never even came to life
I’m getting high
I’m getting high
getting high
off your star
You are all aglow
In the smoke and snow

Moon

I know what the sun feels like on my skin
I wanna know what the moon feels like within
I know what the sun feels like on my skin
I wanna know how the moon gives life within
And the same moon rises over me as you
And there is really not much about that, that we can do
I see your light ain’t it bright
keeps me up all night
I see your light, ain’t it bright
Keeps me up all night
And theres a world that I can only see by the light of the moon
and there is that that i can only want more than i do
and theres a light that i can only feel when i’m with you
and the same moon rises over me as you
and there is really not much about that that we can do
no there is really not much about that that we can do
I see the light ain’t it bright
keeps me up all night
I see the light ain’t it bright
keeps me up all night
keeps me up all night
And i listen to the grass grow
and i wonder what i don’t know
And I listen to the grass grow
And I wonder what I don’t know
and there is really not much
about that that i can do
when the same moon rises over me as you!
I see the light ain’t it bright…
Keeps me up all night
I feel the light ain’t it bright
keeps me up all night

Petals
03:58
|

Petals pour from themselves in a synchronized swim
They’d been held to the stem as though holding their breath’
Collectively they agree to exhale and be free
Now one after another they tumble silently
Oblivious to me
The ashes of last night
sigh into a heap.
Petals pour from themselves in a synchronized swim
I am woken in a moment as they break the air
Disintegrate integrate with resigned grace
lining up to jump they remind me of tears
Sudden and many fall
I look to you
Your empty chair
And then I remember
Why there's lilac in the air
My tears well up and cry for you
My tears well up and cry for you
My tears well up and cry for you
Theres wet in my hair and I never knew
My tears well up and cry for you
My tears
My tears
My tears
My tears
These are my tears

1973

You got a certain way i swear of sticking it in
Even though you only ever lose or you win
I always said I’d wait and wait and wait just to see
But I’ve been waiting here since 1973
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere x2
Looking back in time right now to 72
I remember all the stupid things we’d do
Sitting round and speeding like its 79
there was always somewhere else I had to be in my mind
Swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind
Through a liquid sky
Looking below
Well, it changed my dreams
And now nothing is quite what it seems
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
You got a certain way I swear
Of sticking it there
Ridiculously obvious
And never less aware
I always said I’d wait and wait and wait just to see
I’ve been waiting here since 1973
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
I didn’t do it I swear
I wasn’t even there
Elsewhere
Elsewhere
I must have been elsewhere….

Wave
03:16
|

If I were a wave
you’d have caught me
If you were my light
I would fade
If you were the sea
you’d not turn your back on me
I’d shake your fury
right out off of me
I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Crying out to you
Breathe me in
I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Crying out to you
Breathe me in
If I am wave
come and catch me
If I am all wrong
make me right
When I am a sound
I was twisting out loud
Shake that fury
right on out to see
I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Crying out to you
Breathe me in
I was crying out for you
Before I ever knew
Calling out to you
Breathe me in
And all in all
what the sea forgets
And all in all
what the sea forgets
All in all remember not to forget
to shake the fury right out off of me
And all in all
let the sea forget
And all in all
let the sea forget
All in all remember not to forget
That you and I were always going to be

Dawnstar

There is starlight burning in our hearts tonight
Hear the moonlight speak your name
We’re a long way hidden form the cold tonight
I see the dawn star falling where you are
You knew the cause
You knew the undertaking
You fought the law
Theres always something else we need
But our love is gaining speed
Gaining speed
Now love is gaining speed
When the weather was young the landscape out of reach
And i was lonesome for your love
Well we’re a long way from somewhere we have ever been
And I am thankful what we have is enough
And won’t be ashamed to wear it on the outside
wear that on the outside
of my dreams
Our love is gaining speed
gaining speed
gaining speed
love is all we need
love is gaining speed

Falling
04:22
|
|||
I hear you
bout a million miles from here
i’m with you
but i don’t know if its clear
i don’t look down
what I see is what i get
So i close my eyes
and i feel you better there
And I’m falling back wards
I’m falling sidewards
I’m falling backwards from your arms
And it looks like
our harvest didn’t come in
It feels like
we are losing everything
Now my phone book
is filing up with dead friends
and i wonder
who would answer if I called them
And I’m falling backwards
I’m falling sidewards
I’m falling backwards form your arms
from your arms
Works like a charm
I’m falling back wards
I’m falling sidewards
I’m falling backwards form your arms
And I’ve fallen so hard
I’ve fallen so low
and i can’t get back
get back to where we were
Ohhh I’m falling falling
Ohh I’m falling falling
Ohh I’m falling from the sky
Love brought me right
round to you
When I was falling so hard
When I’d fallen so low
that I can’t get back to where we were
I got back to where we were

Corduroy Legs
03:01
|

There is that I can only hear by the moon
I lay still enough to hear the trees grow
I listen for the creak of thier thoughts
And I hear your corduroy legs running up the stairs
And all the kindest words are held in reserve
For you
And all my gentlest thoughts
A hand reaches to me
Across the banished sea
and holds me
Holds me holding you
It holds me
Holding you
There is that I can only hear by the moon
I lay still enough to hear the trees grow
I listen for the creak of thier thoughts
and all the wisdom their age bestows
I hear your corduroy legs running up the stairs
All the kindest words reserved
For you
All my gentlest thoughts
Are yours
A hand reaches out to me
Across the vanished sea
and holds me,
Holds me
Holding you

Flesh and Blood
05:43

Gonna lay my cruelty down
Getting tired of the sound
All the ways I use to hurt myself
All is sky and all is sea
Our days are spaces
Between dreams
She'll be your first
I could be your last
Ever it is I'm not going to change it
Ever it is I’m not gonna name it
What will be I’m certain I don’t know
We have today
And that is forever
Life after life’
When we are together
An endless sky
The light in your eye
A little feel in the dark
For the beautiful spark
And now I’m grateful for the storm
That ever brought me to your door
Any breeze that brought me to my knees
Theres always been a beautiful sky
Its just theres some clouds in my eyes
I was wild but i need you to be free
Ever it is it ain’t mine to name it
Ever it is it ain't mine to claim it
What will be I’m certain I don’t know
We have today
And that is forever
Life after life’
When we are together
An endless sky
The light in your eye
A little feel feel in the dark
For the beautiful spark
Big blue sky
Behind the clouds of our eyes
A little feel in the dark
For the beautiful spark
whatever this is
whatever this is
whatever this is
