Held up
By an angel
All strength leaving
Scattering
The body must be broken
The cup must be drunk from
Blood upon
Blood upon
The ground
Within
Searing
Screaming
Almost grieving
Journeying
To arrive at acceptance
Whatever's wanted
Whatever's wanted
Will be done

You just need a sunrise in your life
You just need to make it to first light
You just need a sunrise
Watch the changing sky and feel
Another change coming on
You can leave the night and belong
Leave the night and belong
You just need a rising sun
You don't have to carry that sense
There's something of you of the past tense
A memory yet still alive
Just a ghost that never died
Watch the changing sky and feel
Another change coming on
You can leave the night and belong
Leave the night and belong
You just need a rising sun
A rising sun
A rising sun
The dawn will hold you in its glow
Won't let you down
Won't let you go
You just need the morning to begin
You just need the morning

Leaf Fall Is Over
03:49
|
|||
There is no spell that you can cast
To slow time's march
Leaf fall is over
They grew, they fell, so fast
There is no spell that you can cast
I close my eyes and dive into the darkness
Away, away from this fragile failing frame
But I open them to this room
How did I get here so soon?
How did I get here so soon?
A golden evening long since passed
A whole life ahead
The final rays and then the fade
To this single bed
One setting sun
Two silhouettes
All I want is to escape but I cannot run
Away, away from this shadow I've become
Where looking back is all I do
How did I get here so soon?
How did I get here so soon?
I close my eyes and dive into the darkness
Away, away from this fragile failing frame
But I open them to this room
How did I get here so soon?
How did I get here so soon?

In the short while
Of our stay
In this place
Of half smiles
We have to be careful
How we handle
What we do find
True understanding
Has proved a rarity
True connections are few
And far between
Perfumed meadows of May snow
Perfumed meadows of May snow
I carry an ache
The time
The time
We waste
With each passing day
You seem to slip
Further away
Don't let time and distance
Do what they do
Don't let this fall through
Don't let time and distance
Do what they do
Don't let this fall through
Perfumed meadows of May snow
Perfumed meadows of May snow

Maintain
The mood
Calm and simple
Calm and simple
The white of the pillow
Maintain
The mood
Quiet and precise
Nothing to decide
Nothing left to chance
The breath
Being held
Through tender takes
Degrees of light
The intimate night
Observe
Expressions
Enhance them
Call upon
What makes the person
The stories we hold
Just want to be told
We carry words
That long to be heard
We just want to be heard
What's carefully arranged
What's carefully arranged
The camera paints
The intimate night

Her Own Refrain
04:10
|
|||
The world goes about its business
Nothing she needs to witness
She moves to her own refrain
Sending out a signal
Calling to her double
It'll take as long as it takes
For the answer to break
When you look around, do you see what I see?
When you look around, when you look around?
When you look around, do you see what I see?
Clearly displayed
Are we on the same page?
When you look around?
The world spins on its axis
Busy and relentless
She reads her days away
Sending out a signal
From her quiet corner
Unafraid to wait
She turns the page
Do you see what I see?

A trail of petals
White petals
Became
The Milky Way
The scent of decay
The scent of decay
But the end of dark
Winter days
In sacred groves
In sacred groves
In sacred groves
Of hawthorn
Of hawthorn
An equinox scattering / Blood and bandages
Blossom for a wedding / Time passes differently
An equinox scattering / Blood and bandages
Blossom for a wedding / Down beyond the May tree
Ashes round the May tree / Down beyond the May tree

White, Upon Your Grave
04:16
|
|||
The flashing of the air raid plays upon her face
"Come away from the window, come away"
Someone had to
Take a stand and say
Something
Be counted
Offer
Resistance
The sun still rises
And the moon still reappears
Both indifferent
To the war we wage down here
To only hear the wind
Moving through the trees
No more than
A whisper
Nature
The future
“The promise of
Spring and I have to go
The promise of
Spring and I have to go”
White, upon your grave
I place a rose
Leaving footprints
I will walk the silent earth
Breathing the freedom in
For which I thirst
I know we're right
I stand by every word
Twilight
Broad daylight
Changes the signal
Snow is open
To interpretation
“The promise of
Spring
And I have to go
The promise of
Spring and I have to go”
White
Upon your grave
I place a rose
White
Upon your grave
I place a rose

Natural Light
05:29
|

Lost to so much more
When the edges blur
While the temporal pales
Magic and spirit sail
Of a heaven missed
Catching glimpses
Then back to watching
The world, unsure
One eye on the door
To the exiled
Nature speaks
To the hollowest feeling
A reminder calling
Eternity sings
Between
The breaking
Lost to so much more

Slow Motion Spirits
05:05
|
|||
A lonely calm
Presides
A suitcase by
Her side
A stillness to
Break hearts
This is where her life starts
Almost twilight
A breath away
From twilight
The day may be ending
But it's the beginning
Of her life
Of her life
Anticipation
Fills the passing minutes
The air alive
With slow motion spirits
She thinks by now
They'll see she's gone
Running to
Not running from
Not running from
Almost twilight
A breath away
From twilight
The day may be ending
But it's the beginning
Of her life
Of her life
A checkered skirt
A ponytail
Distant water
Low lying clouds
A deserted road
Curves out of sight
Almost twilight

Don't let the times define you
Let the sky remind you
The loudest voices are here and gone
Here and gone
Don't let the lies weigh upon you
Protect the light inside you
There are two choices right or wrong
Right or wrong
Silence the static
And let the silence hold you
The simplest place to start
Is to remember you have a heart
Remember you have a heart
Don't let the times define you
Let the sky remind you
What matters and what does not
What matters and what does not
