Album: I to Sky [2002]
| Nameless | |
|
Stumbled round, you I found
Adored your glory, you're my story
Then you let me down, let down
You know we're the same
Once I frowned, then I found
The one I love, as if from above
You smile at me, I smile at you
We were the same
You are not an enemy
You are not an enemy
Gentle as the sky
Please don't ask me why
You are not an enemy
You are not an enemy
Gentle as the sky
Please don't ask me why
I cry

| Formulae | |
|
Things go wrong when I trust them
In my naive way I love them
Like you told me to love them
I abide by man made rules
And am a picture of all fools
I have a border of white clues
I use the formulae of everyday
In the floods I stay and get washed away
People talk in nothing
With a reverence in a something
And my heart beats on with indifference
To the lessons of attrition
I am a picture of all fools
I have a border of white clues
I use the formulae of everyday
In the floods I stay and get washed away
formulae of everyday
In the floods I stay and get washed away

| I Saw a Prayer | |
|
I, I saw a prayer, drift by your eyes
I swear I saw a prayer
Perfect at night and perfect at day
The only thing that I can say
Breathe it in, breathe it in
The softest skin I've ever seen
Bluest eyes there's ever been
Breathe it in, breathe it in
Maintenance of simplicity
It's the one thing that cannot be
But breathe it in, breathe it in
Holy ghost and rock 'n roll
Imprints upon your soul
Breathe it in, breathe it in
Capture beauty, escape unlikely
I, I saw a prayer, drift by your eyes
I swear I saw a prayer
I, I swear I saw a prayer
Perfect at night and perfect at day
The only thing that I can say
Breathe it in, breathe it in
The softest skin I've ever seen
Bluest eyes there's ever been
Breathe it in, breathe it in
Maintenance of simplicity
It's the one thing that cannot be
But breathe it in, breathe it in
Capture beauty, escape unlikely
I, I saw a prayer, drift by your eyes
I swear I saw a prayer
I, I saw a prayer, drift by your eyes
I swear I saw a prayer

| Serpent Sky | |
|
Seasons don't change
They just glide through my eyes
Like a serpent in the sky,
Tempestuous love passing me by
Singing ahhh...
Infinity of space
It destroys this special place
Of momentary bliss
It's the thorn in a kiss
Singing ahhh...
Sadness and you have become my perfect two
In a world I divide what is good and what I do
Singing ahhh...
Seasons don't change
They just glide through my eyes
Like a serpent in the sky,
Tempestuous love passing me by
Singing ahhh...

| Always and Forever | |
|
Halfway to heaven I saw a light was on in your room
In the deep blue of emptiness my refuge so strong small
Through needles, by highways, I'll travel to your light
By chariots of fire, and chariots of ice
Here in your arms
The scent of your charms
Here in your arms
For always and forever
Oh always and forever
And always and ever
My Home is crap
All that I asked of you was more of the same
All I received from you was more of this pain
Always and ever
Oh always and ever
Oh always and ever
My Home
Here in your arms
The scent of your charms
Here in your arms
For always and ever
Oh always and ever
And always and ever
My Home

| Brother Sleep | |
|
This room is as white as a ghost
In this space you can see your own breath
This room is as cold as its host
Is it this sleep that is the brother of death?
This cloth is as green as an orchard
Where the salt can coat the trees
This girl cries tears as if tortured
Is this girl the queen of the sea?
I'm gonna see you through this my love, my love
I'm gonna see you through this my love, my love, love
The eyes of the toys they are moving
It's here that everything that lived is alive
Yeah, the eyes of the toys they are soothing
As into the brother of sleep that we die
I'm gonna see you through this my love, my love
I'm gonna see you through this my love, my love
I'm gonna see you through, I'm gonna see you through
I'm gonna see you through this my love, my love
I'm gonna see you through this my love, my love
I'm gonna see you through, I'm gonna see you through

| Sinking | |
|
These feelings don't have any windows
But these feelings are feelings only God knows
As the figures fade into the distance
You're at home now, no need for resistnce
Like marble your exterior is so cold
But like magic your soul puts things on hold
The truth is you've heard it all before
Oh these feelings, the sea just brings you more
And you sink further into yourself
And you think only of yourself
And you sink further into yourself
When you sink wanting to be someone else
If this body is but a grain of sand
Then friend I need to take your hand
But these feelings have too many windows
But these windows are guarded by the angels
And you sink further into yourself
And you think only of yourself
And you sink further into yourself
When you sink wanting to be someone else

Boy made of dread poaches from the river
His eyes are rimmed with lead, heart is made of silver
Rays of love shine on, rays of life shine on
Girl made of hope poaches from the river
Her eyes are lost in hope, heart is made of silver
Rays of love shine on, rays of hope shine on
Boy made of dread poaches from the river
His eyes are rimmed with lead, heart is made of silver
Take love to you
Oh life to me
Love in my heart, poaches from the river
Heart in my love takes me home the real way
Smile in my love takes me home on further
Here in my heart takes me home away
Sad love to you, all love to you
Sad love to you, sad me, sad love

| Half Three | |
|
At three in the morning
the moonlight was breaking, breaking down
Oh, the heartache it glistened
As angels want to listen as people drown
She said this will not suffice, it's not enough
She said you will not suffice, you're not enough
As I looked at the beauty
And struggled with the duty of being wrong
She said look at my beauty
And struggle with the duty of being wrong
She said this will not suffice, it's not enough
She said you will not suffice, you're not enough
I need to touch your face, to feel your grace
It's my epiphany
I need to touch her face, to be embraced
Be my epiphany
All these words with no reasons
Effect me like millions of burning stars
And the shapes that we're seeing
The things that we're being are a step too far
She said this will not suffice it's not enough
She said you will not suffice you're not enough
I need to touch her face, to feel her grace
My epiphany
I need to touch her face, to be embraced
Be my epiphany
The veils of blue and fields of grain
For all the time I'll have to say
I need to touch your face, to feel your grace
My epiphany
I need to touch her face, to be embraced
Be my epiphany

| Glimmer | |
|
Under dappled moons and under teary skies
This canopy is life and the stars are her eyes
She's angered at my fall and it's winter when she cries
Springtime reappears, wipe these tears from her eyes
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones you love
I guess I love you
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones you love
I guess I love you
At least I hope I do
Vanity of day gives birth to a veil
This veil is remorse, it's the air I exhale
Oh raging on and on goes to a mansion in the sky
Oh raging on and on is this tear in your eye
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones I love
I guess I love you
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones you love
I guess I love you
At least I hope I do
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones you love
I guess I love you
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones you love
I guess I love you
At least I hope I do
And it wouldn't be wrong
To sing this song
To the ones you love
I guess I love you
I guess I love you
At least I hope I do
I guess I love you

When I ramble down
In my paltry crown
I hear that things will change
But nothing will change
And you tumble down
In your tattered gown
They say things will change
But nothing will change
[Chorus:]
Through the loss, the pain
Oh the love you'll gain
Through the years of strain
Oh the life to gain
Through the loss, the pain
Oh the life
You can drink your wine
From your earthly vines
They say things will change
But nothing will change
[Chorus 2x]
Oh the love you'll gain
Through the years of strain
Oh the life
