Magnificent rain
04:06
|
|||
You painted a tear to cover a crack
You’re breathing on your own and you never look bad
Your ambition is sheer
All roses and black clouds
Gather your skies
Shout your goodbyes
In magnificent rain
Is the kingdom closed?
Is the worst behind you?
Keep your battles close and the storm inside you
How’s your memory?
Do you remember me?
There was smoke on your path
Your step slowed
You’re riding on your own on an open road
But you were never here
With your roses and black clouds
Cover your eyes the courtier lies

O sea
03:44
|
|||
O sea I feel myself drifting though the waters
And o sea I feel myself turning over and over
She won’t see all I fear
What goddess will save me now
From your cold ideals where sirens also drown
Breathing in to heal but oh I need you now
O sea I feel myself falling through the darkness
And o sea it all seems so endless hopeless senseless
She won’t feel oh what I feel when you fill me up empty me up
Soothed by what I fear
A silent open mouth reels me in serene
And I won’t need you now
La la la la

Snow angels
03:08
|
|||
Hungry animals were snapping at our feet
In the arms of mystery we embrace defeat
Snow angels were storming the sandcastles
And nothing would ever be the same
Because we were saved
My hope cup was overflowing
As sweet as saccharin
I could’ve bought my way inside
But I always lacked ambition
I know where it’s gonna go wrong
Because I know you
But don’t let me stop the game
Because it’s just starting to get nasty
it’s kind of pathetic l
Like all those globes prophetic
That when you ran I held your hand
You can’t resist a horror story
I’d turn back if I were you
I can’t resist an open wound
So I guess we’ll push on through
We were saved by snow angels
But we’ll have to break up some time

Lamplight
04:00
|
|||
You bring lamplight to the day
Leaves fly you just carry me away
I’d turn to russet but I’d still fade to grey
Fall to the floor and be blown away
But not into your arms
A secret thought in your day (listen I’ll tell)
Like the ghost doll
Like confetti leaves I’m swept away (by you)
So does the moon reach out for you
Tides change on a dime like your colours do
Recall the goddess with arms of broken fruit
Cinnamon kisses won’t take me away the way you do
I must steal something next time I see him
a golden hair if I’m swift
if he don’t belong to me I’ll steal him piece by piece

Ode to myself
03:24
|
|||
Took all of 17 to lick my wounds
You’ll never know just what you’ve done
Oh but I took a photograph of your bedroom
And I put up walls to write on
But anyway there’s sure to be some sunny spells ahead
I was dreaming in your bed
There’s gotta be an easier way to clear your head
Ode to myself
So did she tell you to cut your hair at 22
Or was it the adult thing to do
While washing out your memories
Like when you said you’d marry me
Build a treehouse and never leave
Oh but anyway there’s sure to be some hungry mouths ahead
Co-sleeping in your bed
And there’s surely no nicer way to be mislead
Ode to myself
So you find time to find me
Now I’m carving out a family tree with pretty flowers I can believe in
So I close the book after carefully turning down the leaf
But her red hair is something to be seen
Oh but anyway there’s sure to be some happy times ahead
We lie dreaming in our bed
You can’t legislate for what time will wait for
Ode to myself
Mix up your ideas of love drink it up it’s not enough

Starry
05:42
|
|||
You can’t hide you’re in flight
But you can be caught with my hands
If you come in to my sky like Jupiter rising
Or someone turned on the light
Was this ever my safe place
You invade like icy rain on summer days
If I conjure a fine autumnal tapestry
Would you stay the king and would you need a queen?
I wanna see the northern lights
With eyes wide open in unguarded skies
Make you starry for only me all through the night
I wanna ride by io’s side
Spin the moon as we dance across the sky
Leave you kisses that flash behind your eyes
Jealous moon replaced these wings with heavy silence
Won’t you fall down from this sky
to bring me a meteor shower or turn off this light?

Clover
03:12
|
|||
I fell over I fell in clover
Let the flowers cover my head
Then it was over this rollercoaster
And you know you’re a long time dead
Why let things get the better of you
When you could have the better of me?
Why let things get the better of you
When you could come along with me?
That’s when I told her this game is over
Undercover just playing dead
He glazed over my supernova
Meteors will sweeten the bet
We weren’t just made to dance together I want your arms around me
We were made to fit together I want your arms around me
Think it over
Fields of clover
He fell over he fell in clover
Pretty flowers covered his head
And now it’s over this rollercoaster
Baby we’re a long time dead

Cathedrals
03:38
|
|||
I had the urge to bare my feet
And tread the wooden floorboards of the hall
Like feeling English Oak beneath me
Could somehow sooth my soul
Carry my heart to cathedrals
And if the time was mine to spend
I would dance on warps and whorls
But oh the clock above my head
That echoes through these manmade walls don’t forgive
I leave my heart to cathedrals
In the warming grain of centuries gone by
We flow through time
Leave your shoes in the city

Maen llia
03:10
|
|||
Match for a green man she stands alone
Take her flowers but never home
Wondering if she’ll ever fall
Now there’s nothing but the girl here at all
Now who marks the territory?
Leave their names on her belly
Diamond shaped and roughly cut
What in gods name holds you up?
You won’t find her sweet
Introspection gathering speed
Diamond shape and roughly cut
What in gods name holds you up?
Where’s Llia now?

Firefly
03:43
|
|||
And your soul feels sick and sorry when you’re falling
And your soul’s filled with bliss and hunger when you’re flying
Thought I saw you hiding from light courting the sun
Wrapped in vicious rays you count the ways you can return for more
Move in circles of light
(Searching coaxing)
Until you find yourself stoking
And your soul’s full wrecked and broken but only for certain
And your soul’s filled with mercury and crystal horizons
Thought I saw you hiding away on the open plains
Till the moment slips to rubbing sticks so you can return for more
A temporary madness I ran
Arms that pushed you away now strain for yourself
How you fill my dark day
You were pressing flowers in my hands
I crushed them like diamonds
