Calling Your Name
03:07
|
|
||
Buried below winter snow, there is a river
Carry you home
In time…calling your name, you don’t hear a thing
Calling your name, you don’t feel a thing
Dancing the dark light mystery
You are a wilderness frozen from me
In time…calling your name, you don’t hear a thing
Calling your name, you don’t feel a thing
This will be the last time, I can’t breathe
Oh you push and you pull, but you’re so beautiful
I can’t stand it (this will be the last time)
Oh you push and you pull, but you’re so beautiful
This is madness
Calling your name, you don’t hear a thing
Calling you name, you don’t feel a thing
This will be the last time, I can’t breathe
Calling your name, you don’t hear a thing
Calling your name, you don’t feel a thing
Calling your name

Hannah
03:24

Tell me, have you seen my Hannah today?
I have been searching since break of the day
She walks with spirits at night and I fear
Someone has stolen my Hannah, my dear
Tell me have you seen my Hannah, my dear?
I have been searching for more than a year
Clear is her voice like a bell on the wind
Stood at the shore and she beckons me in
Tell me have you seen that man from moors?
Day after day does he wander the shores
Some say that he lost his mind long ago
Following spirts where no man may go
Tell me have you heard that song on the wind?
Soft like a memory under your skin
Deep in the night, with a hand to my ear
I hear that voice calling, "Hannah, my dear"

New Moon

Save your troubles for the new moon
Circle ‘round it will be back soon
And all the games we play will see the light of day
Save your troubles for the new moon
Draw the spiders to the altar
Drown them all in holy water
When all the words we say will have a price to pay
Who will be the one to falter?
Calling down upon the old ways
Circle ‘round just like the old days
Rising from the earth, rising to rebirth
In the shadow of the new moon
Calling down upon the old ways
Circle ‘round just like the old days
Rising from the earth, rising to rebirth
In the shadow of the new moon
Save your troubles for the new moon
Circle ‘round, it will be back soon
And all the games we play will see the light of day
Save your troubles for the new moon

No One Can Get Me Here
02:20
|
|
||
Sway in the breeze like the flowers on the trees
Kick my boots off, feet are in the ground
Feel the earth sound moving all around and
No one can get me here
Cool comes the night
Lemon lilac lighting up the sky
Throw my head back, look up to the stars
Feel the earth sound moving all around and
No one can get me here
No one can get me here

The Best Thing
02:29
|
|
||
I haven’t surfaced for a long time
Been underwater, out of reach
I saw the sands of time before me
But I could not walk that beach
I always thought I was the current
But now I know I am a wake
In this vigil I’ve created
Has drifted from its fate
I want to be the best thing that has happened to you
Is there more time to make it true?
I always drift without an anchor
And now I’ve travelled out to sea
In my heart I am uncertain
If you will come for me
I want to be the best thing that has happened to you
Is there more time to make it true?
I want to be the best thing that has happened to you
Is there more time to make it true?
Is there more time to make it true?

Come to Me
03:53
|
|
||
Come to me with sweetness
The ground alive beneath us
Horizon, your eyes on my body
All your strength, all your power
Turn me into your Delilah
Come to me and I will take away your pain tonight
In the rapture of the moonlight
Come to me and I will wash your wounds and heal your heart
If you’ll just lay down your guard
It’s a secret we share
And no one knows
Oh the lengths the thorns will go to be the rose!
All your strength, all your power
Turn me into your Delilah
Come to me and I will take away your pain tonight
In the rapture of the moonlight
Come to me and I will wash your wounds and heal your heart
If you’ll just lay down your guard
And I know the morning comes and breaks the spell
And you will go
But I will be here waiting for you
Come to me and I will take away your pain tonight
In the rapture of the moonlight
Come to me and I will wash your wounds and heal your heart
If you’ll just lay down your guard

The Edge
03:06
|
|
||
Thought I found the edge of it, holding down the truth
I don’t want to believe again
It’s creeping in again
Faded like the face I used to see across the table
Burned away years ago
Let it go
Pull me from the edge
Pull me from the ledge
I’m holding on for my life
Hold on for the ride
Hoping this is home, but I don’t know my way around
Like I’m walking on memories, or are they just fantasies?
Moving like a melody but I can’t hold it down
I don’t want to believe again, but it’s creeping in again
Pull me from the edge
Pull me from the ledge
I’m holding on for my life
Hold on for the ride

Gold candelabra, pictures in the magazine
I was drawing myself at your piano
Your black and white photograph
You spin me ‘round dancing
pretending that your footsteps were mine
We sat at the mirror; we dress up enchanted
And all of the colours come at once
I’m only remembering now, and something’s happening now
Something stirs while the watchman sleeps
Flooding things that were buried deep
And they tell me it’s all for the best
And they tell me it’s time to rest
I watch the winter
I gather its memories, but I cannot count the steps between us
I picture you dancing some place I’ve never been
I see the details in my mind
I’m only remembering now, and something’s happening now
Something stirs while the watchman sleeps
Flooding things that were buried deep
And they tell me it’s all for the best
And they tell me it’s time to rest
Something stirs while the watchman sleeps
Flooding things that were buried deep
And they tell me it’s all for the best
And they tell me it’s time to rest

World of Ours
04:53

Travelling by wishes, wings are inside
The moon has always been her guide
She sings a song into the night sky, knowing
The pregnant universe is growing
Oooh
Can you feel the fire in our veins (keep running, just keep running)
Some of us were born inside the flame (keep running, just keep running)
We were taught to run from what we are (keep running, just keep running)
Now it’s time to run this world of ours (keep running, just keep running)
She has awakened in her DNA
The signs are in the sky above
The womb of heaven is a sacred place and
We must protect her with our love
Oooh
Can you feel the fire in our veins (keep running, just keep running)
Some of us were born inside the flame (keep running, just keep running)
We were taught to run from what we are (keep running, just keep running)
Now it’s time to run this world of ours (keep running, just keep running)
Can you hear the voices calling from the past into your bones?
And you’re moving to the rhythm of a song you’ve always known
You’ve always known
Can you feel the fire in our veins (keep running, just keep running)
Some of us were born inside the flame (keep running, just keep running)
We were taught to run from what we are (keep running, just keep running)
Now it’s time to run this world of ours (keep running, just keep running)
World of ours
World of ours
This world of ours
World of ours

Flowers
03:16

I remember all the girls with flowers falling in the dirt
And when they said their prayers and washed the stains
And felt that they were close to God
And put their hands together praying
For each other and the strength to be so pure
And be so clean
And I remember when they took her from her shame
And shipped her off to give it away to God
Then they said her name was gone and must not mention
Hush your lips and pray, we’ll all kneel down and pray, pray
I remember all the girls with flowers falling in the dirt

Bippity Boppity

There’s a curse on the land, and there’s blood on my hands
Curl me up before I sleep, I’ve been waiting for relief
Never before anyone gave me an eye for an I can see you
Bippity and Boppity Boo no one’s coming to save you, darling
It’s a very scary, very scary fairy tale if you don’t like the rain
Can you hold me, I am cold? I have started to grow old
Please don’t let me fall asleep, I am sorry I am weak
Never before anyone gave me an eye for an I can see you
Bippity and Boppity Boo no one’s coming to save you, darling
Never before all of the chariots carried us to our slaughter
In the dark here in the ark and all I hear is the sound of water
It’s a very scary, very scary fairy tale if you don’t like the rain
Stars will light the way, illuminate your journey into space
And I’ll be waiting there, don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
It’s a very scary, very scary fairy tale if you don’t like the rain

Save your troubles for the new moon
Circle ‘round it will be back soon
And all the games we play will see the light of day
Save your troubles for the new moon
Draw the spiders to the altar
Drown them all in holy water
When all the words we say will have a price to pay
Who will be the one to falter?
Calling down upon the old ways
Circle ‘round just like the old days
Rising from the earth, rising to rebirth
In the shadow of the new moon
Calling down upon the old ways
Circle ‘round just like the old days
Rising from the earth, rising to rebirth
In the shadow of the new moon
Save your troubles for the new moon
Circle ‘round, it will be back soon
And all the games we play will see the light of day
Save your troubles for the new moon
