[No lyrics]

(Lyrics by Leigh Nash)

Ah, ah...
You can't see my eyes...
You can't see my eyes...
And they don't see yours

Hear me when I say
I don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
The quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near

Darling, when did you fall, when was it over?
Darling, when did you fall, when was it over?
LyricsIt's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart
And then my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry I couldn't hear you
Darling when did you cry I couldn't hear you
I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

Ah, it's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
The quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near

It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart
And now my lonesome song will end

Darling, when did we fall, when was it over?
Darling, when did we fall, when was it over?
I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I fear that it's the price of falling in love


. . .



Ever since I could remember,
I have known
That children
By candle light
Have seen a shadow on the wall
And have chased it all night through.
Busilly
They have tried
With all their might
To catch it.

And when they most expect to catch it
It shoots most quickly out of sight,
This shadow never shall be caught
In any trap they lay.
This shadow in the likeness
Of this world and yesterday.


. . .



In a dark woods
Paved with snow
Living all alone.
I forgot
Long ago
What I'm looking for.

Firecracker,
Lightning seed
Coming back to me.

This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart a hunter.
This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart
Made my heart a hunter.

I remember my little seed
Louder than a dream.
LyricsI let my golden arrow fly
To the bottom of the night,
No hounds to guide me
No army at my back.
I'm gonna stand up.

Firecracker,
Lightning seed
Coming closer to me.

This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart a hunter.
This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart
Made my heart a hunter.

Sunrise burns my fortress down
Crumbling to the ground.
I found my arrow
My lightning spark
Buried in m heart.
No hounds to guide me
No army at my back.
I'm gonna stand up.

Firecracker,
Lightning seed
It was always in me.

This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart a hunter.
This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart
Made my heart a hunter.
This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart a hunter.
This is how,
This is how,
You made my heart,
Made my heart a hunter.

(Lyrics by Rani Kamal)

something fearless in your eyes
something careless about your smile
something fragile when you hold your breath
and when you move
you move right through me

fingertips so gently on my skin
i'm underwater
i feel the flood begin
fingertips so gently on my skin
you're taking over and over again

shed your armour
spin your web
hypnotise me with the longest stare
make your promise
or maybe it's a threat
'cos when you look
you look right through me
Lyrics
we're flesh and bone
together and alone
and we're looking for a home

silver moonlight fills the sky
calling gently to the evening tide
you're unfolding right before my eyes
and when you move
you move right through me


. . .



it's a weird game
I'm lonely without skin.
no end to begin
and only your mind to hide in.
I nudge life.
like an unborn child.
a dream inside but now I live behind your eyes.
I'm uninvited.
and I'm the only memory that comes through.

I'm living in your dreams.
I'm where you cannot be.
I'm way out of your reach.
I'm living in your dreams.
I'm where you cannot see.
Is it you or is it me?

I can't protect what you can't forget.
but no I live behind your eyes.
You recognize me as only a memory that comes through.

I'm living in your dreams.
I'm where you cannot go.
Beyond everything you know.
I'm living in your dreams.
You won't find me anywhere.
I'm vanished in the air


lyrics by Francesca Longrigg


. . .



Moon beauty
To live and to love
In delerious
Bitter gardens
The visions floods
Under the mind sky.
Night breaths,
Whispering symphony
After a blood sun storm
Love light relives.

With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.

Sing a true moment
Recall a trip.
No language can heave through life
LyricsLike an ache, a sense, the blinding wind.
Making believe that if there's a sandstorm
You'll come and rescue me.
Help me find my way back to the waking world.

With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.

The desert knows we are strangers
Until the sands of time see through our eyes.
We could be lost, perhaps forever.
But there's space in the air
And it's ages till sunrise.

With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.


. . .



If you can believe you're turning
All the world that broke your mind,
Then I can do something for you
Even though you're lost in time.

You won't have to be my heaven.
I won't have to be your friend.
Daylight
Daylight comes every time it's calling.
Daylight
Daylight, it goes away again now.

Don't let go.
Don't let go of your heart.
Don't let go.
Don't let go of your heart.

Feel like your skin is burning
Into many drops of rain.
But it's doing nothing to me
Drowning in a sea of pain.
Lyrics
You won't have to be my heaven.
I won't have to be your friend.
Daylight
Daylight comes every time it's calling.
Daylight
Daylight, it goes away again now.

Don't let go.
Don't let go of your heart.
Don't let go.
Don't you know who you are?
Don't let go.
Don't let go of your heart.
Don't let go.
Don't let go of your heart.

Temptation

[No lyrics]

. . .



Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday.
I ran away to a room here on the bay.
Interrupted life again, another new beginning
Where the silence echoes "you're no longer with me."

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's okay.

Through the darkness I would walk in the streets.
Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release.
Held me down and tried to cure me, tried to give me reason.Lyrics
But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me.

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though i may be alone, but that's okay,
And looking out to a different sky will disengage me.
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade.

I do not seek and do not intend to find
A calmer ocean or a sun that never will rise.
My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts, and
I'll move on and then forget you all over again.
Moving on, I can forgive you all over again.

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though i may be alone, but that's okay,
And looking out into a different sky, it seems so easy.
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade.

Among The Ruins

[No lyrics]

. . .



give me release
witness me
i am outside
give me peace
heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

passion
choke the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

in this white wave, i am sinking, in this silence
in this white wave, in this silence i believe

Lyricsi can't help this longing
comfort me
i can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

in this white wave, i am sinking, in this silence
in this white wave, in this silence i believe
i have seen you, in this white wave, you are silent
you are breathing, in this white wave i am free


. . .



Soaks my skin - through to the bone
Pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase
Rain - you can't hold on to it
A treasure you cannot frame
Rain - somehow I'm drawn to it
I feel engaged, one and the same
When heavens dressing beads off my face
The pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase


. . .



infinity ... infinity?
sky cold, skin blue, when i wake

so swim into essential, you've swam a thousand voids
why is eternity forever? Why is eternity forever?
skin screams bear me again, inner sanctum?

we watch from dry land
while waves destroy our theories
so swim into essential, you've swam a thousand voids
why is eternity forever? the horizon deceives
some say 'their ships above sea' sailing on winds of belief
why waves destroy our theories bear me again
sky cold, skin blue, when I wake to worship water

sky cold, skin blue, when I wake, infinity waving
sky cold, skin blue, when I wake, infinity waving


. . .


Who could have foreseen this moment all so strange?
The sky's colors change, goodbye is all it means, goodbye

After all these years you've spent here with me, with your hands
All shivering still all the while
Never thought that I might be a memory, just a photo was sent a
Smile, just a smile

Who could have foreseen this moment all so strange?
The sky's colors change, goodbye is all it means, goodbye

Even if a god she smiled over me, but I felt the lifetime of her tears
A tender touch that's lost so long ago, words of love that meant that i go, that i go

Who could have foreseen this moment all so strange?
The sky's colors change, goodbye is all it means
Who could have foreseen this moment all so strange?

This moment all so strange... so strange... so strange.

After all these years you've spent here with me, with your hands
All shivering still all the while
Never thought that I might be a memory, just a photo was sent a
Smile, just a smile

After all these years you've spent here with me, with your hands
All shivering still all the while
Never thought that I might be a memory, just a photo was sent a
Smile, just a smile

Who could have foreseen this moment all so strange?
The ocean's colors change, goodbye is all it means
Who could have foreseen this moment all so strange?
The sky's colors change, goodbye is all it means, goodbye
