TWILIGHT HILL
Up on twilight hill
A cold November chill
Followed by the ghost
The one I feared the most
On cold star-studded night
The galaxies were bright
All horizons lead to you in the place where I stood...
Like a kite cut from its string
I remembered everything
I was feeling so alone
Up in the air with the lights below
I am my mother's son
Looking down upon
the darkness of the land and the heart of a man...
On my way back down
I marked the frozen ground
To prove I had been here
On twilight hill, my dear
What makes you fade away
and leaves you on display?
Smiling in my heart as I spiral in the dark...

DAYS OF OUR KIND
Would I startle at the sound
of your body next to mine on the ground?
You have some flowers, I have a cast...
If your hand was lost in mine
amongst the worries and the days of our kind
I'll be at the window, you'll be driving past...
If this world goes
we may burn away for doing nothing wrong
Our lives are strange enough to make this story last...
The coming night will bring
lots of unknown fears and alarming things
So pull the wool over my eyes and we'll have a blast...

Eyes Coated In Frost

EYES COATED IN FROST
I'll disregard the history
The many days all blistering
The faintest sun, I feel the shine
Upon the face that was never mine
The time spent on wasted words
They disappeared and became absurd
or swallowed down and stored away
for another storm that'll come our way...
The empty shore of Sorroden
and the ghostly steps we follow in
The trails that lead through hollowness
emerge into more forgetfulness
Eyes coated in frost cannot see
Eyes coated in frost cannot be
I cannot be another stain
upon your world, upon your name
We've always gone our separate ways
when the dark comes over the bay
Eyes coated in frost cannot see
Eyes coated in frost cannot be
Eyes coated in frost never see
Eyes coated in frost never be...

BOY
I love your sweet simplicity
Smiling ocean wide for me
A voice that drifts like warm summer breeze
through the long and frigid arctic freeze...
Lift me up from the deepest sea
Sing me down from the highest tree
Level me dead honestly
All that matters is destined to be...
They all pale right next to you
Languishing in all they do
I won't let them get near to you
because you're all that I've got, it's true...
Worry not, with fears we tread
Hurry not, the years ahead
Sorry not, the things we said
For we're lost inside our heads...
So it goes on and on
On the last day of summer, you'll move to another
Somewhere that keeps you protected and warm
It goes on and on
Through autumn and winter, the daylight gets dimmer
and I'll always weather you just like a storm...

SPECTRAL BIRDS
These eyes, they tend to go
around the curves of your body
Down into your soul
A journey through the snow
The crying of the moon
I wallowed in the sound
So far from you
The weight of a falling tomb
I guess I'll learn
The fever burns
I guess I should have turned away
these spectral birds that flew...
The dizziness down here
I feel the quaking at the roots
The hollow cheer
The sweetness of your tears
The flowers round the lake
I circle round until it's more than I can take
I'm only half awake
I guess I learned
The fever burned
I guess I should have turned away
these spectral birds that flew...

Through Your Hair

THROUGH YOUR HAIR
We're handcuffed to the rails
of a one-way speeding train
that will surely crash and burn
before I hear the words...
Calculations have been wrong
Contemplations have begun
The sadness and the scare
The wind blowing through your hair
With you and no one else
I no longer feel myself
Been stripped of my armour
in this most troublesome hour
Calculations have been wrong
Contemplations have begun
The sadness and the scare
The wind blowing through your hair
Infatuations have been wrong
Disintegration has begun
You are everywhere
The wind blowing through your hair

The One I Need

THE ONE I NEED
I wonder if I'll ever work it out
There's a lifetime left to live without
You're the only one I think about
Are you the one I need?
Days they end before they have begun
We have played the games without the fun
This is the season without the sun
Are you the one I need?
Felt the shadows dancing in my head
My heart like a bursting fruit
You are with me in the dead of night
pulling at the roots...
There is nothing left to talk about
Spiders crawling up the water spout
But I need to know without a doubt
Are you the one I need?

DREAM LIFE
I want to be something right
A perfect sparrow in flight
I want to be something true
The deepest ocean of blue
I want to be recognized
only for a moment
I want to lay out in the sun
without a single worry
I want to be your special child
Forgive me with a smile
I want to be your heart and soul
We'll never ever grow old...
So cover me with all your trees
and all your fields below me
Wash over me with all your seas
I'll be here, honestly...
I want to be everything
Chameleon, a changeling
I want to live an honest life
An animal in the night
I hope to see this to the end
and never be forgotten
And when I have you in my dreams
I'll never be a burden...
