Restructure the water
Bless it with words
Heart’s sonar patterns
The flowering of a song
We are entangled
Love, we are everywhere…
Untethered in orbit
Earth astronauts
Reverse to move forwards
His love forgetting-me-not
We are entangled
Love, we are everywhere…
Drifting
Close your eyes to feel
Drifting
Ghost out here with me
Drifting
Close your eyes to feel
Drifting
Meet me on the field
I’m here to adore you…
Drifting, drifting
Drifting, drifting, drifting
Close your eyes to feel
Drifting
Meet me on the field
I’m here to adore you
Here to adore you
Here to adore you…

Unchanged

Watchmaker’s precision
You wrote my lines
Unwitting in love
Oh I wait for your sign
Oh wait for a sign
You’re always the same
Always unchanged
He knows he should walk away
Yet his love remains… unchanged
Unchanged, like a sunrise
Unchanged, like your ghost
Unchanged, once a lifetime
Unchanged, a seed won’t sow…
If statues could move
Oh the stories they’d tell
The loss of all time
How lovers fall inside…
Shoots they’ll come again
Through this frozen ground
I wait for a sign, oh wait for a sign
You’re always the same
Always unchanged
So he should walk away
Yet his love remains.. unchanged
Unchanged, like a sunrise
Unchanged, like your ghost
Unchanged, once a lifetime
Unchanged, a seed won’t sow
Unchanged, like the fractal, shaping the snow
If statues could move
Oh the stories they could tell
The loss of all time
How lovers fall inside…
If statues could move
Oh the stories they could tell
The loss of all time
How lovers fall inside…

Bleached By The Sun
05:32
|

Violas bow across the bridge of time
A cello sings of the curve of my spine
The beat of a wing conducting the chaos of sea
That promise we made in our mirror symmetry
Don’t give up on us yet, there is more we can be
In our roots there is soul, an innate empathy
Or will these words come to be bleached by the sun?
Or will these words come to be bleached by the sun?
Oh
Beyond this limerence there is love
Vibration of the imminence of loss
The quiet hope that we might save
The chorus of emergent waves
Don’t give up on us yet, there is more we can be
In our roots there is soul, an innate empathy
Or will these words come to be bleached by the sun?
Or will these words come to be bleached by the sun?
Oh
At the crowning dusk of day
Will we face defining flames?
Or can quietly insistent words
Waltz amongst the rain?
Within states of our divorce
We hang laments upon the staves
Only hope divinely saved
For the last heartbeat of the woods
Don’t give up on us yet, there is more we can be
In our roots there is soul, an innate empathy
Or will these words come to be bleached by the sun?
Or will these guns come to be coal and diamonds?
The seed of the fertile one where this life’s just begun
Or will these words come to be bleached by the sun?

Moon Flowers
04:50
|

Look behind our eyes,
See the Autumn’s infinite colours
The leaves are falling off our trees
The leaves, may they soon reappear
All hail, you influence the hail
In heaven and beyond you
There is a sunlight around you
You illuminate everything I do
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Cos we’ll get there soon
Don’t give up, don’t give up
You and I, we’ll plant flowers on the moon
You reign, you influence the rain
In heaven and beyond you
There is a sunlight around you
You illuminate everything I do
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Cos we’ll get there soon
Don’t give up, don’t give up
You and I, we’ll plant flowers on the moon
Moon flowers, moon flowers
Sovereignty of the seed and river
Like lovers two, like lovers too
If we stay here, take care
In the mirror, we would see
That moon flowers are already here…

Double Rainbow
06:14
|

Nature’s patterns talk
Perianths like the sonar flower of a dolphin’s song
Nature’s patterns speak
Molecules the form of honeycombs
My love still sailing upon every breeze
Mirror me, mirror me
Invisible, invisible
The quantum fields
Thorn yellow, cobalt, green
The summer rain
Beating my window pane
Sheets and torrents lashing down
Paint me a double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Where love is the gold, spun gold
Nature’s patterns sing
The trauma rings of a scarlet oak
Echo trauma rings in me
Nature’s patterns stalk
The spectral fields, see them shimmering
Shimmering, shimmering
The summer pain…
Haunting my winters again
Reigning down in torrents, sheets…
Cast a double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Double rainbow, double rainbow
Where love is the gold…
Spun gold, spun gold, spun gold
Sun gold, yellow, green, lilac, greenish black, blue
Cobalt, sap green, ochre, wax yellow, mauve,
Green, verdant, verdant, verdant,
Evergreen… double rainbow…

Milk And Honey
03:46
|
|||
I’d walk 10,000 suns
To have you next to me
Bridges I’d burn
To give you the rest of me
Lilac-coloured stars that glisten, beckoning
Galaxies of tumbling suns, are blessing me
Milk and honey
His love, sweet ambrosia
Milk and honey
Summer mead
Leave our shape upon the wheat
Milk and honey
Your tender touch, never enough
Milk and honey…
Truth missing in action, it’s all lies
My radio waves were always on
To the empty nights
Silence-tinted stars that glisten, beckoning
Galaxies of tumbling suns, blessing me
Milk and honey
Sweet love, ambrosia
Milk and honey
Summer mead
Leave our shape upon the wheat
Milk and honey
The tender touch, we’ll never feel
Milk and honey…
I’d walk 10,000 suns to have one night next to you
Lovers I’ve spurned, just to give you the best of me
My milk and honey
My milk and honey
My, my milk and honey
Your tender touch, like the never we feel
Milk and honey
My milk and honey

Mother Tree
05:08
|

Hear the wind whispering through the leaves
The fingers and the toes of the Mother Tree
She knows her saplings and her own young
Innate like the songs in only her love tongue
Be yourself, be free,
Breathe out, lie next to me
Come to me, come to me
Come to me, come to me
Come to me, come to me
I spread my roots, unfold my leaves
Like a Mother Tree
Lose the chains of your every fear
My thirsty vines, let them draw you near
As I run across your dreams, your dark
Such a gentle touch, on your skin and your bark
Be yourself, be free,
Breathe out, lie next to me
Come to me, come to me
Come to me, a mother tree
I spread my roots, unfold my leaves
I spread my roots, like the Mother Tree

Weeping Roses

Weeping roses are all you ever gave to me
I felt the blood on my my hands, my toes and my fingers
From the thorns you left in me
Oh I still feel the sun shine round here
Oh I still feel the sun shine…
Oh I still feel the sun shine
Do you feel it too, tell me do you feel it too?
Bleeding roses they’re all you ever grew for me
I see blood in the spray, on the petals
Now, it’s so plain to see
Do you feel it too, tell me do you feel it too?
Do you feel it too, tell me do you feel it too?
Do, do you feel it too?
Do you, do you? Ooh… do, do you feel it?
Do, do you feel it too? Do, do you feel it too?
