lyrics

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
