Natural Light
04:18
|
|||
Daytime dark hides the way, keeping sleepy eyes unadjusted for the day
This sense of slow that holds sway keeps a hold of me, feels like I’m here to stay
Ray of light breaks through the clinging night
Feels so right, gives me strength to hope for this natural light
Break the night, set wrongs to right in this natural light
Cloudy cover casts its doubt; I’m left to wonder what it’s all about
I’d rather shield my eyes once the morning’s out than have to face day after day without
Ray of light breaks through the clinging night
Feels so right, gives me hope and the strength to cope to be touched by this natural light

Quicksilver

Quicksilver slips through my fingers, never lingers for too long
Enchanting necromancy, leads me back to your song Ö
Quicksilver leaves me guessing, my soul confessing before you depart
Illusory, & yet peruse with me the designs you’ve put upon my heart Ö
Oh you are but a muse to me; desire, my only wish
Even when you have left me then, I’ll continue my search for...
This eminence, ebullience, I’m in it’s sway,
This advent, so heaven scent, a treasure spent, she slips away Ö
Quicksilver, make yourself known to me, your games, though strange they may be
Captivate me to drink long and sweet from the bottom of the bottomless sea Ö á ë õ ¶ ∞ Õ

Apart
04:42
|

How could eyes so deep ever shed a tear?
They'd drown the whole wide world, the whole wide world I fear
How could skin so soft ever dry and crack?
Only if the weight the of the world she takes upon her back
Heaven save our souls, lost upon this sea
Fill this hole she's left in me...
How could innocence ever feel such pain?
Only if her sorrows she swallows them like rain
How could a heart so pure close itself to love?
Maybe I'm just not the one...
Heaven save our souls, lost upon this sea
I see the whole of her, can she feel love in me?
Set upon her face, such meaning in her eyes
Will she ever be mine?
Alone I bleed for her, and painful as it seems
She's worth every tear, yeah, she's worth every scream
Every quiver of my heart, she's earned all my pain
It's what sets her apart...
Heaven save our souls, lost upon this sea
I see the whole of her, can she feel love in me?
Set upon her face, such meaning in her eyes
No reasons left to wonder why...
Alone I bleed for her, and painful as it seems
She's worth every tear, yeah, she's worth every scream
Every quiver of my heart, she's earned all my pain
It's what sets her apart...

Let It Rain
04:42
|
|||
When it rains it pours, so don't hold nothing back
With so much pain for sure, it's not for grief I lack
Come on rain from on high, leave nothing in your wake that's dry, let it rain...
It's but a small price to pay to see the green grass grow
Only through such lessons learned can we hope to know
The wisdom pain bestows, the secrets of life's ebb & flow
So it is, and it is so
Clouds will gather, chasing light away, leaving all but cold and gray
I won't surrender, I'll weather it till it wanes, so let it rain
Pounding hard and fast upon the window pane, so that at once, all hope and joys restrained, upon us all some rain must fall, storms will rage, the fates will call
So let it rain down on me
Clouds will gather, cold winds will blow, its time has come, this I know
As in the Yin & the Yang, there's never pleasure without pain, so let it rain
So let it rain down on me,
Let this pain and let it be, let it rain on me
Let it rain down on me, let this pain set me free, let it rain down on me
It's easy to believe that pain and misery serve no one at all, but upon us all a little rain must fall
With pleasure comes its pain, they're one and the same
The birdsong silenced, the sky a deepened grey
My heart hangs heavy, I've not the words to say
Soon enough I'll see the sun, the clouds will part, a new day will come,
But for now, let it rain...

In your house across the street
Might as well be across the sea
There's no place there for me
And the wind that blows feels so cold
Oh, this hold you have on me
I'd rather you held on, held on you see
But you let go long ago
And left me with nothing to hold
Now I'm the one left letting go
Such truth I felt in you
Even though the moments we shared were far too few
The tide leaves behind a bitter sand
Such is The Story That Never Began
Let me into your heart
I'm outside your door, looking in your world
Take me back into your arms for something greater than
The Story That Never Began
Oh, your kiss but a memory
Your name a soft breeze that both calms and frightens me
Our time together but a dream
And it may yet be my fate, you see
To love you without you here with me
Let me into your heart
I'm outside your door, looking in your world
Take me back into your arms for something greater than
The Story That Never Began
Let me into your heart
I feel your every breath, without you there's nothing left
Take me back into your arms for something greater than
The Story That Never Began
Such truth I felt in you
Even though the moments we shared were far too few
The tide leaves behind a bitter sand
Such is The Story That Never Began

All That
03:40
|

When I lay me down to sleep, her skin’s so soft there next to me,
All my worries melt away
When the morning light opens her eye, truth be told, I can’t deny
And makes me want to say…
She’s all that
She brightens my days and soothes my soul
She mends my ways and makes me whole
She gives me faith and truth be told she’s all that…
When my dreams seem out of reach, she comforts me with gentle speech,
And makes me feel alright
Every woman and every girl, she’s everyone, she is my world,
She is my day & night
She’s all that
She brightens my days and soothes my soul
She mends my ways and makes me whole
She gives me faith and truth be told she’s all that…
She’s all that
She keeps me warm when the sun goes down
She makes the sun and moon turn round
She keeps me head in the sky and my feet on the ground, yeah she’s all that…

Entranced
03:10
|
|||
It’s a funny thing how time stands still
As angels sing to their hearts; fill
One moment speaks a thousand words
Frozen in time, no sound is heard
Oh, how I’ve longed for this time to come, enjoined in this heavenly dance
Frozen in time, her spell holds my mind, leaving me this moment entranced
Entranced I am, by her spell
Her magic flows from endless wells
The world it stops when in her gaze
Leaving me thus thusly amazed
Oh, how I’ve longed for this time to come, enjoined in this heavenly dance
Frozen in time, her spell holds my mind, leaving me this moment entranced
No words can describe this glorious vibe, enraptured by her movement enhanced
Her spell has surpassed all thoughts I’d amassed, forgotten in this moment entranced

All This & Everything
05:49
|
|||
Is this fresh rain or merely dew-like pangs shook loose by the West Wind’s swell?
From the leaves high up within the trees from whence the rain, like tears, did fell…
A symphony of softest subtleties eases all heartache and pain
Revealing countless continuities and leading life to its joyous refrain
The wind it whispers wonders across the sea so blue
Realize this richest reason for dwelling as we do
If we survive this selfish season & trust in what is true
Gifts of countless numbers will rain on me & you, the fearless few…
So sublime is this joy divine and it’s of this to which I sing
True beauty lies in each & all our lives & it’s All This & Everything
The softest rain falls from the sky again & it’s the sweetest song ever sang
The seasons change & yet they stay the same & so it’s been since the first spring sprang
The setting sun & rising moon are one when over forests & fields they both fly
My heart replies to all the starry skies, so much so that my soul it sighs…
So sublime is this joy divine and it’s of this to which I sing
True beauty lies in each & all our lives & it’s All This & Everything
I can’t abstain from the will to proclaim & it’s of this for which I sing
I feel no shame in singing out your name & it’s All This & Everything
