Nice Dream 05:01
Rise in this cloud Rise rise high above the grey Witness the dawn and the new day And the hummingbirds will sing forever in your dreams Dolphins enter the scene they fly with their fins is this the sky of a lost planet should we put on a helmet oh I don’t think we’ll ever fall but I’m afraid of it all It's such a nice dream Don’t fear a thing It's such a nice dream Don’t you think? The falling leaves are silent unlike the talking trees and the frail whisper of the fruit in the apple seed Can you hear Or are you still asleep? The day starts to fade But I think we’ll stay Show me a place like this Or we’ll never never go away For now: Go on strings Play You feel the breeze brush against your face fleeing the Ocean blue The ladybug’s quest is all grace soaring through the summer afternoon Soon the stars hang from the sky Chase away the red clouds and the night will be ours follow me follow me now I stumbled by a tear in the veil carved by a fleeting moonbeam the colors are pouring out the thread that weaves our dreams It's such a nice dream Don’t fear a thing It's such a nice dream Don’t you think?

So many moons Have passed us by Beneath this June’s Warm Summer sky Nightly Ocean swims Under bright galaxies Thousand young whims Linger in me Tonight our love transpires In this dark ocean shore A theater for our desires A loving war The Earth twirls and warps Our live ascends and drops Yet for one night we lay Fool and young this way When we’re aged and grey Remind me love Of this night in June Below the yellow moon

The Sailor 05:50
Smith was a sailor, from the day he was born over a dark raging sea, his skin bare at the storm slipped the unsober hands, of his peg-legged mother nearly spend his first night, at Davy Jones Locker He was not yet fourteen, when his hands took the wheel steering that double helm, was the best he could feel salt ran through his veins, taste of rum in his smile Oh! the puf of the sails, Oh! the ocean so wide We´ve seen the hollow void and the edge of the sky The wicked winds of fate let them try try try try What lurks down below, truly no man can know the wicked winds of fate let them blow blow blow blow The song of the siren, calling like treasure For what lies underwater, there´s no level or measure From the nest of the crow, so blue is his throne Let the old gods come forth, and make themselves known Let us face lighting, and thunder with grin Hear the crack of the mast, feel the rain in our skin Let us gamble our lives, in the deep ocean’s dice Let Death save our souls, if that be the price Oh I swear upon the waves here my heart shall lie The wicked winds of fate let them try try try try What lurks down below, truly no man can know The wicked winds of fate let them blow blow blow blow To hear the ropes moaning, under night’s stellar sky The dance of the deck, as the waves pass us by The squeak of the mice, the creak of the hull to be one with the ship, to be the hands of its soul I spoke of laying anchor, and saw his face frown He has not once set foot, on safe solid ground So I take another sip, and I hold my peace You see alas on sea, every day is a feast

Autumn sings of tangerines lulls me to an old dream enriched by the noon’s light her eyes rend under my skin My chest caved in the quake All through the quiet fallout of fate Our notebook’s empty spaces slowly filled with whirling traces Lost to the war led By the curls in her head Breath again into existence by her bracelets and pendants Stone after stone how our castle stood tall Too close loomed the edge And the long fall Like thieves came the night Days on end without a light I died there was nothing there A cold dock, the boatman's fare Torn where it bleeds the most Half a shadow half a ghost This shell the mirror sees Is it really me? Like thieves came the night Days on end without a light Do the stars still shine above upholding my right to be loved Has the devil lost his book I’m good for every drink i took I hold your hand, storm your dream Feel my love, come to me Across this barren land a single flower steals the scene We brought something back Beyond all earthly things And how quickly the sand falls Down through the hourglass The shores, such beautiful lies Too soon the river is passed stumbled out of this fever dream On a raft battered by the storm She showed me we never grow old She showed me love will keep us warm And I wrote songs about her bright quintessence with all the notes I hear when listening in her... presence
