As If Tomorrow
03:37
|
|||
As if tomorrow will come again
As if tomorrow will hold your secrets in
As if tomorrow will want to see you
As if tomorrow knows your name
What’s done ain’t really done with you
The past will not let you put it in the past
No matter how you try to put it out of your mind
As if tomorrow will show you what you want to see
As if tomorrow, woman, someone will hold you like me
In the morning sun, in the morning bed
The light tries to come inside to touch your sleepy head

Black Wind
03:30
|
|||
Neither day or night will cast themselves upon me
Come what may, come the morrow to see
Doesn't matter if the sky is blue, you can win, but you're still gonna lose
The savage heart is unthinking, can't tell if it's sinking
The ship's on fire but we're still drinking
See you never, see you sever, no matter what you do don't pull the lever
Roll down the windows and let the Four Winds blow
The sky is falling from down below
Nature is a battlefield, and Life has a war and gets killed
Underneath this shirt of woe beats a heart no grave could dig shallow
Take my sweat, take my blood, take my cum, you can take my love
Roll down the windows and let the Four Winds blow
The sky is falling from down below
Black Wind. Black Wind. Black Wind.

Deadfall
03:38
|
|||
Holding your hand feels like Autumn leaves
Your mouth tastes of clay and earth and your eyes have set a long time ago
But when the sun was in your eyes I fell
You don't need to hunt for what you will fall into The Deadfall is for certain and for always
But "Always" almost never means it
Like when the stars burn out from the sky
Such as we
The sun splendored golden fields knew us well
The white dove flew both day and night until no more
I held your hand until your hand let go, and you let go
The Deadfall is for certain and for all
Such as we

Into Thine Eyes
02:33
|
|||
Into thine eyes 'tis better than to look in the sea or the sky
Fierce is the heart that grabs and takes the love and buries it deep
Run to me my love, run and I'll catch you as you make the leap
'Cause we are carried by the wind
The wind blows across your skin
And never will I let you go
But never do we ever seem to know
Look up in the sky, it's you and me hand in hand and eye to eye
Down unto the earth like falling rain, we find ourselves and end the search
Run to me my love, run and I'll catch you if you make the leap
'Cause we are carried by the wind
The wind blows across your skin
And never will I let you go
But never do we ever seem to know

A Waking Reverie
02:37
|
|||
As time passes I don't get further away, further away from my true love
The light dances on the blackened waves, waves that will take me to my true love
So do good and throw it to the Sea, a waking reverie
Hoist your sail when the wind is strong and fair
If you see Mares' Tails it is time to shorten the sails
Walk on the edge instead of the middle of the road
On the edge, hold fast your lashes
Don't build your ship out of old wood and make your way as fast as
So do good and throw it to the Sea, a waking reverie
Hoist your sail when the wind is strong and fair
If you see Mares' Tails it is time to shorten the sails
I take another breath in this life, another breath into the wind I give thee

I don't know where I'm going from
But you show me the way
Light moving across the room
Your eyes out-talk your tongue, telling all your secrets
Your mystery falls to the floor
I show you the way
Light moving across the room
Come on and take my hand, my love
Don't take your eyes off my eyes
Let's go to a place only we can find
Come on and leave yourself behind
Behind the door, there is you and me
We show each other the way
Light moving across the room
Come on and take my hand, my love
Don't take your eyes off my eyes
Let's go to a place only we can find
Come on and leave yourself behind

One Day Sun
02:33
|
|||
I don't know about tomorrow my love
A One Day Sun is all we have
I know one thing, that I will always love you
Because the sun is here, but it's gonna be gone today
Love and lust are not the same
If there was a word for it, it would be your name
Don't be scared to be consumed by the flame
'Cause the sun is here, but it's gonna be gone today
I don't do a thing without love
I don't do a single damn thing
Tell yourself a story and you might not know the words, but you know how it goes
'Cause the sun is here, but it's gonna be gone today

Oh Terrible Dream
03:18
|
|||
From far away you came to me this night
Black wings a-flyin' in a mirrored sky
First-day love with seven-year eyes
A serpent's kiss leaves a taste in my mouth's wish
I keep the night
Oh begone, oh terrible dream
The night's end swung down, swung down upon my chest
Taking my heart, my soul, my sins, and all the rest
Like a passion's hunger, I have for thee
It was the Dark, the Dark waiting for me
I keep the night
Oh begone, oh terrible dream
Only nothing is untaken Only nothing is forsaken Only nothing is left of my memories of my love

In The Night
02:50
|
|||
In the night I watch you sleep
The long day lets go its grip and let us plunge into the deep
In the night
The night sometimes can make the truth a liar
The night sometimes can burn you clean from its cold fire
Whatever the day took from you is now given back, given back to your heart
And the borderline that falls away like the stars
In the night
In the night the love grows before the day comes and goes It will have its way
Before the light, before the words take the wheel and driven far from what we feel
In the night
Have your way, have your day, but we will have ours in the night

I want to hold you
I want to love you
I want to take you
Take your sweet love
Taste your sweet honeyed love
The night comes without asking
The comes without attacking
The night comes, comes for your sweet love
Taste your sweet honeyed love
Happiness is a bird, it might fly away
The heart is not a cage but a key
Release thy will, but never in the daylight
And never again will your heart be needed to be filled
It whispers to come near you
It smiles to un-tear you
It dreams that you won't disappear
Your sweet love Tasting your sweet honeyed love
Happiness is a bird, it might fly away
The heart is not a cage but a key
Release thy will, but never in the daylight
And never again will your heart be needed to be filled

The Conjurer
02:30
|
|||
Far away from the blue sky, above and below
To a time when the sun was new, the sun was new
You brought me to a place I did not want to go
I didn't know what I was in for
I didn't know
Summon the thunder
Summon the sea
Summon the hunger
I summon you to me
Far away from your eyes, above and below
To a time when the love was new, when the love was new
You brought me to a place I did not want to go
I didn't know what I was in for
That I couldn't live without you
