A child just like any other,
Made of the bones of the earth,
Fragile and deathless.
Yes, I’m alright,
I’m a church,
And I’m burning down.
You are on my mind…
The Wind
Your eyes are colored like wind,
The Wind from the northern sea.
A wave on the sand so clear,
Whoever got me that far must be laughing;
Alright, I can laugh as well.
So sweet is your touch,
May I never go free,
But I’m breaking away
To return unbound,
And I hear the sound
Behind my shoulder
Like the shape of the swan, gliding,
And when the trees are bare,
There will be nowhere to return to
But we stay, believing.
Your eyes are colored like wind…
Bringing incredible news
I don’t know if I’m ready,
Does it matter?
Whoever cut me that deep,
I love you.
And here I stand, transfixed,
Listening to the sound of the wind.
The Time
Sitting in a corner
In my castle made of single-malt and smoke
With all my friends around me.
And I love them «till I choke
And I watch you dance with someone,
Someone not even there,
And you’re simple as in sacrilege,
And you are pure as in player.
Somewhere there’s a point of no resistance,
But we make sure there’s no getting there.
And we’re beautiful when we’re animals
But so easily scared.
And I cannot even talk to you
Stricken down as a hunter to its prey,
Sliding down, down this hill of glass again,
And there’s nothing I can say.
I guess it’s just the time
I guess it’s just the time
I guess it’s just the time
And I will see you when the time is over.
And then the northern wind calls,
And then curtains part,
And then the castle wall falls,
And there’s an arrow in my heart.
There’s only one way out of prison
Which is to set your jailer free.
But then, it’s just another bunch of pretty words
That stand between the sailor and the sea.
So forgive me, though I know you never will
Battered by your pride,
And so I’m locked again within these castle walls,
And you freeze alone outside.
I guess it’s just the time
I guess it’s just the time
I guess it’s just the time
And I will see you when the time is over.
Winter
Now that the summer is gone,
Snow’s on the ground.
I sought and I found,
I know what I found is true.
But the bitter gray sky
Fades into silence,
Only the fire is left.
And some say it’s not enough
To carry us through.
Days of apple bloom white,
Silver and steel,
Tales of webs
Spun around a careless heart.
I dream of the snow-white seagulls,
Crying to show me the way,
But I will stay here with you,
And nothing will ever come
To tear us apart.
Look into my eyes sister,
No harm will come to you.
Look into my eyes sister,
No harm will come to you.
That voice again
I hear that voice again
I hear that voice again
Seems so simple now,
Now that the sky is clear,
Maybe the road was tough
But at last we’re here
I’ve nothing to hide from you,
Nothing to explain,
Just this vision of broken wing,
And the raven cries in pain.
I hear that voice again
I hear that voice again
If darkness surrounds you,
I’ll be the fire
To guard your sleep.
If there’s nothing to stand on,
I will lay myself beneath your feet,
I will show the world to you
And this world will have no stain.
Just hold me now,
Hold me close,
Don’t let me go,
But close your eyes
And look away…
I hear that voice again
Fields of my love
Hello sweet victory,
So nice meeting you here
Mmm, Mmm
So strange when you think about it.
I never did anything out of my way,
I just strayed…
Out in the fields of my love
Out in the fields of my love
Out in the fields of my love
Well met and thank
