Burning
03:52

I feel this rain upon my face
I see the stream and the path it takes
I see a well and the stories written there
I left my words burning in the air
I see a tree that cracks and breaks
I feel the need or the strength it takes
I look ahead but the ways unclear
I don't know why I hold this time so dear
I have a place that I call mine
I lose myself in there sometimes
Where all of these days that pass like years
Pray fly a way but don't leave me hear

Harvest

A harvest moon stays a while
And leaves it's mark upon my face
In a darkened room i start to smile
And i it leaves a familiar taste
As i reach across this airless night
With open hands of love
You lie as soft as this moonlight
To face the stars above
Caught between sleep and this dreaming
I find myself these days
In a world of blind faith and preaching
I believe in you ways
In this Autumn moonlight shading
I see you folded wings
Is this moment for the taking
Or is time the keeper of all things?
Lying here in this silent room
As this moonlight fades to day
The mantle that it leaves behind
Will not fade away
As i reach across this breathless dawn
With open eyes of love
You lie as soft as this daybreak
To face the skies above

September
03:42
|

Autumn light comes through my window
Weaving patterns on the wall
Getting caught in past reflections
When i hear September call
Watching the rain fall down on the pavement
Hearing planes go overhead
Waiting for night fall over this city
As the streetlight turn on red
Sometimes I fell like running away
Sometimes I fell like running
Away from all the things I've seen
Away from all the time that's been
Away from this old place I'm in
Away from this old place
Walking the park in early evening
Watching people fade away
Listening to sirens in the distance
September came today
Sometimes I fell like running away
Sometimes I fell like running
Away from all the things I've seen
Away from all the time that's been
Away from this old place I'm in
Away from this old place

Somedays
03:04
|

|
Some-days come harder than others
Some-days go by me so fast
Some-days take forever
Some-days just don't last
Some-days come just like this
Running down my window pane
They seem to last a life-time
Like this steady falling rain
Some-days when the cold wind blows
Leaving nothing but a trace
Like this time that's always passing
Leaving lines upon my face
Some-days leave me wanting
For more than I will ever know
Some-days there's no changing
The way it all goes
Some-days come harder than others
Some-days go by me so fast
Some-days take forever
Some-days just don't last

Universe
04:00
|
|||
|
Evening comes the darkening hours
The daylights fading like some long forgotten flowers
That have left the sent for the winds to blow
Across this landscape for the stars to hold
The sky lines ragged like a winters tree
I see a picture that makes sense to me
Like the moon coming out from behind these clouds
You illuminate my way some how
If I could change one thing in this perfect universe
I swear to you I would have found you first
Darkness leaves without a sound
Casting shadows on this stoney ground
Like the feelings now that come to me
Etched upon my memory
As the dawn draws these curtains clear
The due drops shine like their heavens tears
As this blood red sunrise fills another day
A tired old woman bows her head to prey
If I could change one thing in this perfect universe
I swear to you I would have found you first

Mistaken
04:40
|
|||
|
I was standing as still as these old grey stones
Except for the world spinning I was all alone
And from that hill top high I was looking out to sea
And I thought I saw you out there - sailing home to me
There was a breeze blowing across those ancient hills
And the sound it was making could lay you so still
From that hill top high I was looking out to sea
And I thought I heard you out there - singing out loud for me
Was I mistaken
Was I mistaken
As the sun went down and the shadows grew long
The stars came out and turned their sweet magic on
And from that the hill top high I was looking out to sea
And I thought I saw you out there - shining out bright to me
Was I mistaken
Was I mistaken
And as the darkness came around and turned me away
Yes I longed for another time I longed for one more day
And from that hill top high I was looking out to sea
I swore I felt you out there - praying hard for me

Nick Cook recommends:
Mimicking Birds
by Mimicking Birds
Just a beautiful album in my opinion. The lyrics and arrangements are just perfect. Amazing production ideas. Although I believe the band is no longer together, still a great purchase.
go to album
Just really well recorded music. Great lyrics, and just something about it. Could only wish to produce on this level.
go to album
Unbelievable textures put together in soundscapes. No idea how you put this stuff together. And from that to solo piano, heartfelt and tender.
