disguise

stumbled on the stars
tripped on every cloud
skies were under foot
dancing upside down
loitered in the heavens
seduced by its disguise
teardrops from above
transfiguring the night
leaning into shadows
the vanishing indeed
grinding out the alias
ghost is guaranteed
lifted on a wing
fragment of the day
write my name in vapor
let me drift away
write my name in starlight
let it be so bright
staggered into radiance
tumbled out of time
breathing in the aether
ascend and intertwine

belong
04:48
|
|||
|
see the stars they decorate the night for you
see the day will bring the blue of sky too
see the light that glistens on the dew
our heart
we give to you
our love
always true
see the souls of all the birds
feel the wind that lifts them upwards
to the light
then beyond
to the place
we belong

fracture
05:06
|
|||
|
there's a hole in the sky
where the light disappears
there are cracks in a heart
which hold all the tears
and the fracture remains
as it is in the dreaming
the pieces are shattered
the structure is leaning
do the fragments retain
a name and a face
in all of these ashes
is there a trace
there's a leak in the ocean
where the raindrops descend
there's a silence of sadness
that nothing can mend

here
05:46
|
|||
|
in my dream
everything is alright
and the world is falling down
in my dream
all of us together
in the million separate sounds
in my dream
we speak as one
in every different tongue
i will say your name
sacred as a hymn
hold you in my heart
so to never part
in my dream
we are following you
from darkness into light
in my dream
we will disappear
encompassed by the sky
in my dream
we were always here
wrapped in starry night

remember
04:43
|
|||
|
foolish words which fall from lips
turn to raindrops in a heart
the whispering of syllables
shadows that will not depart
leaving wounds invisible
a diagram of broken parts
do you remember
after what you told me
the promise
after what you thought too
do you remember
i'll be looking at you
the first kiss
after what you told me
do you remember…
voices echo through these rooms
the tapestry of many years
daylight darkness thread the loom
weaving stars between the tears

incandescence
05:13
|
|||
|
hidden presence
the choreography of stars
touch that lingers
veil of cloud departs
trace of kisses
faded moon in morning sky
ghost embraces
an intimate reply… goodbye
in the movement of the heavens
map of future past and present
night is fractured incandescence
secret language
the chorus of the rain
liquid diamonds
a luminous refrain
silent falling
drifting on the tides
daylight dreaming
in fragrant flower hides
all is shining
canopy of blue
gather teardrops
into offering of dew

broken hearts
love remains

merge
05:48
|
|||
|
when the dream dissolves
and all we have is this
you can hold on to me
when the day turns to darkness
don't forget the sun is shining
somewhere across the sea
when your heart is breaking
and the tears fill your eyes
i will bring the bluest skies
on the other side
we shall be released
from the sorrow and the sadness
if the shadows fill your room
and there's nowhere to escape
we'll hold on tight through the night
on the other side
we shall drift and dance
and merge into the stars
