A Faery's Song
05:31
|
|||
There was once a faery by the seashore
And she would sing alone for days
Weaving all the tales of love and life
Sending all the storms away
Sending all the storms away
Through the night
She could feel the sun behind her
Voices in the waters blue
Whispering the way she lost him
A faery boy as bright as day
She screamed
He cried
Oh the sadness in their eyes
She lived
He died
All in vain
Trying to flee the banshee again
As the seasons turned and withered
And the sea grew cold and grey
Her faery heart did fade within her
Remembering as she grew old
Oh the blue the eyes so blue
Oh the sadness in her eyes
Whispers growing ever louder
And she cannot flee the cry
She screamed
He cried
Oh the sadness in their eyes
Oh the sadness in their beautiful eyes
She lived
He died
All in vain
Trying to flee the banshee once again

The Wisdom of Silence
03:35
|
|||
As we were riding, he poured out his mind -
words without knowing the right way to chime
Storms without winter, rains without water -
Words only spoke how we wished them to matter
but i'd bend an arrow to the sun, just to see...
how my eyes would burn and would borrow
the hue of these endings as fiercely as you
Storms without winter, rains without water -
Words only spoke how we wished them to matter
Some things are known without knowing, unspoken, they stay
and the wisdom of silence moves onward
unspoken, unbroken.
Questioning whys only hasten the waves
of echos collapsing, ourselves
Some things echo inside
Some things echo
unspoken........ they stay
and the wisdom of silence moves onward
the wisdom of silence moves on
Some things echo
Some things echo...always
and love lies a far shore away...

Dust and Ashes
04:37
|

So swollen the echos
of fate on my heart
Feathers lost upon the waves
Drifting farther apart
I found you older
Not wiser than I
Still sworn to some denial
Too timid to fly
Where has it brought you?
To the edge of our lives
Can you remember, our moments alive
The silence inside
Where has it brought you?
To the edge of our lives
Can you surrender, this silence inside
These moments alive
We danced as dragons
Between forest and flame
Twin eyes of all creation
Among the stars left our fame
When you started to speak
Bright sparks formed the fire
No sooner had they gathered
Than embered away
Where has it brought you?
To the edge of our lives
Can you remember, our moments alive
The silence inside
Where has it brought you?
To the edge of our lives
Love can surrender, the silence inside
The silence inside

Summer
05:01
|
|||
Where angels dare to tread, there is my grace,
my lost rapore with solitude
A winter's peace, a place deep within
Merging with the stars
I long to free, a symphony
Of silence, waiting for a sign, waiting for the sound
of summer
Today I place my eyes, upon that space
upon that grace, i left behind
where all the tears of yesteryear
have gone
Oh give me room, to breathe,
'neath this veil of life, a source of love to treasure
kept warm and pure, as strong and as sure
as sunlight
All that we've made, within this life
It's all been driven away
And we lay fallen where we relied on remembering the light of, one day
Some snows they bring the coldest of night, but blanket us all in their tear light
ever growing, never knowing, how we'll turn out to be
never the way that we see
oh our song....a garden
in summer

For My Love
02:35
|
|||
Seasons fall and rise far beneath this love
A drop of rain on sunlight - sifted through, a debtor's arms
Seasons fall and rise slowly, find a way to show merrily
marching as the seas ebb and birth once again
As we mire on in our eyes
the symphonies, they play
waiting for the sound of endings
waiting for our time
And what gardens grow all lavender and silver lace?
These miracles in birth, so green as love upon your face
These are the tears of love i'd save, kept warm and pure as light
One love i'd save, and it may still, retreat into the light
one love id save, lonely, witnessing itself away
a dragon born inside to breathe
and silently with me to pray
for my love

Trees
05:39
|
|||
Here lies the writing - too cold
Waiting to show
Waiting to grow - again - again
Waiting so long, waiting to grow
Waiting to show, waiting to grow - one day - our day
Waiting to fall, wanting to fall - to fall - away
Calling forever - we are the trees
Calling to spring,
calling
reaching
falling
freeing
our song

Remembering
04:00
|
|||
how green the dream i spring into,
how wonderful we are
awake up through a clear blue smile
as drunk and just as far
i saw you glowing pink as day
and washed upon the stones
a snow white dove , how wonderful,
how beautiful we are
if only, how such words ring true
and bring us memories
of all the loves that fill the blue
blue sky, and leave us still inside
I saw a garden under glass,
and when the season's green
turns into all remembering
turns wild everything
See a little bird, gone away
Found that I was missing along the way
See a little stone I could throw
No one found the halo along the way
