Wait for me, haunt me in my dreams
Waste all you see, waking each day for sleep
Waking each day to sleep, sleeping each night to dream
See me through till spring, as evenings wax in light
Stand by me, so I can stand to fight
On my own again this time
--I’m alone again this time
On my own again this time
--I’m alone again this time
Meet me in between the roses and the vine
Share with me the sacrificial wine
--Here’s to what used to be
--Here’s to the passing time
--Here’s to the dying earth
And here’s to you and I, apart for the rest of life

I looked across
the divide
And I found
the otherside
And I told a lie
I told you a lie
I told you a lie
I told you a lie
I told you a lie
I knew that I had tried
And I saw that I was blind
And I knew that I had to try to find
What was on the other side
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
I knew that I had to try to find
what was on the other side
on the other side
And I knew that I had become blind
to what I would find
what I would find
I knew that I had to try to find
what was on the other side
on the other side
And I knew that I had become blind
to what I would find
what I would find

Line in the Sand

My sister took me down to the riverside
Buried me in the ground so I would have to find
What I looked like
What I will look like
And what I look like
Take me down to winter streams paused
Take me around death under frost
Bury me in the ground, like love that has been lost
Like love there is no cost--but that is of course the cost
Take me down so I can find what it is that I can’t leave behind
That haunts my waking mind and fills my dreams every night
You gave me death as you gave me life
So I’ll bring you from the depths and we’ll wield our butchers knives
And draw in the sand a line
--you will take one side, and I will take one side
See me in the light, see me eye to eye
See me in the light, see me eye to eye

I (The Dark Beneath)
04:32
|
|||
|
I woke up all at once from a dark deep sleep
Thoughtless, formless, washing, washing, rinsing over me
Please soft heart, please soft heart
Ease my heart, leave my heart
Please soft heart, please soft heart
Ease my heart, release my heart
Then I rose, following your memory
From the third story window to the garden beneath
Through the gate, through the street
Through the waves to the darkness beneath
Please soft heart, please soft heart
Ease my heart, cease my heart
Please soft heart, please soft heart
Ease my heart, release my heart
To be what I am; to see what I can
To always look forward and only turn back
To be as I am; to see as I can
To only move forward and never move back

II (The Space Between)

Night after night after night, until the light
A point of conscience where all can be destroyed
And all then can rejoice
Night after night after night, until the light
Night after night after night, two cities float
Pinpoints of light
Two cities, burning flames of life
Through the day and through the night
And in my heart two cities align, all which I cannot define
Drive through the mountains in the summertime
I will leave you with this in mind
I will leave you with this in mind, I will live with this in mind
I will leave you with this in mind, I will live with this in mind
Drive through the mountains in the earliest light
I will leave this with you in mind
Night after night after night, until the light
A point of conscience where all has been destroyed
But still I cannot rejoice

I have searched a long time and I have looked my whole life
And I have finally found something that feels right
We stayed up all night, we stayed up all night
Down by the river in earliest light
We stayed up all night, we stayed up all night
Down by the river in late July
Down winding roads our lives follow
Summer crickets winter swallows
Never held only followed
Always tasted never swallowed
We stayed up all night, we stayed up all night
Down by the river in earliest light
We stayed up all night, we stayed up all night
Down by the river in late July

Stone Fruit

I held on, onto it all at once
And I held on, followed until it was gone
Falling, falling for you
And calling, through the night for you
Following through the woods
With all the direction that I could find
To fight long and hard
And I learned it-- I learned it with heart
And I earned it-- though it was hard
But I ended up with what I had at the start
was lost, it was lost, it was lost
Lost, it was lost, it was lost
Lost, it was lost, it was lost
Lost, it was lost, it was lost
And I burned down the house, sent the pets away
And I forgot how to wake with the sun
and stay up through the day
--and I lost all I found, lost all I knew
For all I knew was bound
Through my heart and you
And I burned, I burned so true
And I burn, I burn so true
But I was lost, I was lost, I was lost
Lost, it was lost, it was lost
Lost, it was lost, it was lost
Lost, it was lost, it was lost

Sunrise
03:54

I watched the day die with the sunrise
And I watched each lover blind
But it was me who lost my sight
Second only to time we’re buried under sky
And all that’s past we’re searching for
When all that’s left we’re yet to find
What is it we’ve lost, and what is now lost beyond
All it is we’ve come across and all that we believe is gone?

Hand in the Dark

Hey little one, stay out til the sun
And I’ll be there to hold you when the day is done
Trials will face you, but there is only one
Way that I will see you through the eyes of love
To fill a bed with dreams I have tried more than a few
For years I walked the streets to fill the loss of you
And always it’s escaped me, each time I thought i knew
What it means to love and what love is meant to do
And always it’s escaped me, each time I thought I knew
What it was you’ve given me and what I gave to you

Known the Light

Will I ever find the peace of mind
I felt amongst the trees or by the oceanside?
In summer’s sun, or in winter’s blood
I have found a way to drown my heart with love
I’ve tried every day, and I have found a way
To free the part of my mind that refused to change
--but there still are many dark days, even without chains
I have still held myself a slave
While in the brightest light I still have felt the night,
In the darkest times I have felt the light shine
While in the brightest light I still have felt the night,
In the dark of night, I still have known the light

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful.
