Two Flames
02:21
|
|
||
two flames of the candle / how you flirt / with one another / begetting dance / you fill the whole hall / just you two / duex en vue / et vous, et vous / of fluttering notes of song / synchronize / desynchronize / lock eyes / unlock eyes / reprise / don’t reprise / you ride / through night / in moon / moon’s wake of light / two flames of the candle / how you flirt / with one another / begetting dance

Lullabies Lost
03:44
|
|
||
years keep on passing / i am still trying / to write the same song / for you / i want you to like it / there are three words / i could say to you / and i wouldn’t be lying / but it feels to quick / for me to be deciding / so sail away sweetheart / be of dusk / the empty space you leave will be / more than enough / to remind me / of lullabies lost / my feet pound the pavement / passing miles in hopes that i can fix this / not sure of giving up or giving in / you have been waiting / i never asked / and now you’re out of patience / but there’s songs still / and we have not yet finished / so sail away sweetheart / be of dusk / the empty space you leave will be / more than enough / to remind me / of lullabies lost

Sunshine
03:17
|
|
||
there’s nothing you can do / but lie awake in wonder / of what you’re going through / now go back to bed / forget all you said / be alone / bring me home sunshine / we will all heal in your light / bring me home sunshine / did ya know you’re still my darling / there’s nothing you can do / but be like these leaves / surrender to this autumn mood / find your way through the wood / i knew you could / find home / and be alone / bring me home sunshine / we will all heal in your light / bring me home sunshine / did ya know you’re still my darling

Ruin
03:07
|
|
||
there is a rock in my stomach / the weight of your words / cage around my lungs and / the heart is burst / i held you so gentle and I quenched your thirst / are you proud you broke down and struck me first / goin’ back to my mother to plant what remains / i’ve nothing left for this / so i’m waiting for the rain / all these fish and stars and marble arches / dying breaths and hallelujahs / we are ruins, we are waiting for the rain / hands that mold my edges / ‘til i am not mine / soil is rich and better worth my while / found myself alone / standing in a ruin / hollowed out and opened up / with nothing left to lose / i’m going back to my mother to plant what remains / i’ve nothing left for this so i’m waiting for the rain / all these fish and stars and marble arches / dying breaths and hallelujahs / we are ruins, we are waiting for the rain

Volatile
01:56
|
|
||
volatile / i am volatile / these are the words you wrote / so am i just an experiment / am i so chemically unsound / you might not want to find out / fly away / will you fly away / to find the part of your heart / that you gave to some other soul / how can i ever know if i can trust my love again / open door / keeping open doors / to keep up the past in case / you decide on another life / perhaps i’ll always have a door your peek through / to see his eyes

Reykjavík
02:53
|
|
||
i wait for you / don’t know that i want to but i do / hope that you find your way back through / the mist that you fell into / i wait to see the way that the wind will shape me / learn to live in the space between / listening and calling / what happens to the ones the sun forgets / what happens at the edge of this / does it matter if you get any closer to what it is you’ve already missed / i wait for you / i wait for you / i wait for you / i wait for you

Canopy
04:21
|
|
||
stood at the edge of a great north lake / knew in my toes that i came too late / heard your voice in the turn of leaves / wondered if the world still made you think of me / there’s a nip in the air as the seasons lean to hear / they were years, they were years, they were years, they were years / i will let weeds grow into a canopy / i will crawl into earth and let her cradle me

Time Is On My Mind
03:30
|
|
||
leave these letters / of my life / in their small print / and say goodbye / love you dearly / mother, sons / husband, daughter / sis and brothers, all / time is on my mind / time is on my mind / sneak and speed on by / oh time is on my mind / where have ya gone, dear mom / time is on my mind / i’ll be with you / don’t you fret / hold you in / my beast, my chest / breathe my loved ones / don’t asphyxiate / let me go now / as i become a wave / time is on my mind / time is on my mind / sneak and speed on by / oh time is on my mind / where have ya gone, dear mom / time is on my mind / come wind / come blow me / come earth / come sew me / come light / come grow me / here i come / now we become one

Garden Well
03:27
|
|
||
when we were both young we fell / into grandma’s garden well / we played and ran in open skies / morning dances with dragon flies / and from the well / we again were born / in wonder of / the wings we’d grown / we flew and landed on the top / of lily pads to chat and hop / with toads and turtles and river friends / they showed us all around the bends / and we were lighter then / we had wings / and we made friends / in simple terms we came to know / ourselves as children / of gardens, snow and cherry trees / we climbed and loved / we sang perched with the singing dove / in winter months we embraced the cold / we gathered wool and fallen oak / and from the well / we again were born / in wonder of / the wings we’d grown

Heart Of The Wood
03:42
|
|
||
tell me once / tell me twice / and three times i forgot / know that it ain’t good for you / but can’t seem to keep my paws off / take my hand / turn to tread / straight through the heart of the dark wood / but there are beasts between these trees / i am no less than the least of these / love, you are headed straight for heartbreak / love, these are warnings you should take / king to beggar / strong to straggler / hard to soft / free to lost / hopeful to hopeless / barefoot to soulless / the night is dark / and you should know this / love, you are headed straight for heartbreak / love, these are warnings you should take

How Far
04:54
|
|
||
how far / how far must I go / to learn / to learn what I already know / how far / how far does patience wait / i’m afraid / that yours will swallow me whole / hold on, hold on / to those things you love / in love in love / there’s never time enough / hold on hold on / how do we know it’s done / cannot cannot / choose one choose one / do you know / do you know how the snowflakes fall / to lie in wait / to dissolve into thaw / you see / you see me melt into the day / and fight / fight through my teeth / fight for that which remains / hold on hold on / to those things you love / in love in love / there’s never time enough / hold on hold on / how do we know it’s done / cannot cannot / choose one choose one
