I awoke the beast

I awoke the beast
I awoke the beast
Sleeping lions at my feet
You were greater than the sky
And all the tears I was afraid I’d cry
Everything ends
Silver grows hollow in the end
And I feel like the wind
Feel like a half-formed thing
Lie by my side
I will not speak, close your eyes
Why did we never say
That I want you to stay?
And everything ends
Silver grows hollow in the end
And I feel like the wind
Feel like a half-formed thing
If you could fight my fear
Then you could have me
If I could lay to rest
All these ghosts that haunt me
If we could find a path
Through our adversaries
Then we might make it back
And the wind might carry me
I awoke the beast
Sleeping lions at my feet
You were greater than the sky
And all the tears I was afraid I’d cry

Are you wounded

Are you wounded?
Are you wounded
Did I hurt you bad?
I can’t say it again
How it makes me sad
I got scared
and I threw it all away
Now, I must pay
Do you miss me
Like I miss you?
Do you think
Of all the things we’d do?
Cause you were like
A fire in my life
Now, I’ve turned out the light
And I keep trying to, walk away, but I don’t want to
And you keep saying that we’re through
But how can that be true?
Are you moving on
Without me there?
Do you no longer
really care?
Cause I want you
More than you can know
Now, I‘ve let you go
And you keep saying that we’re through
But how can that be true?
I don’t know
where everything went wrong
I only know
That you’re the one
And all the things
That used to hold me back
They’re no longer
A fact
And I keep trying to, walk away, but I don’t want to
And you keep saying that we’re through
But how can that be true?

Cold winds blow

Cold winds blow
Cold winds blow in the place that you live
Oh I waited for you, in the place I said I would
Wandered, I wandered waking through the night
All that I saw was the dying of the light
I, I'm a ship that’s lost its way
I’m the breaking of a wave
On a shore that has no memory
Of me at all
You, you’re a galaxy of stars
Jupiter and Mars
Oh, everyone applauds
As you pass by
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Time oh time is the thing that I fear most
As I wait for you and the daylight turns to dusk
Seasons changed with the passing of the sun
And I wait for you as I have always done
I, I'm a ship that’s lost its way
I’m the breaking of the wave
On a shore that has no memory
Of me at all
You, you’re a harbor with a light
Shining within sight
I try to make
my way to you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Gust of wind

Gust of Wind
You, you cleared the sky
You took the pain, out of my eyes
You, like a gust of wind
You opened up my heart, I let you in
And oh, the mystery remains
Of what becomes of these golden days
And oh, who can say
Where the mystery will take us one day
You, you threw me down
A rope with which I could climb
You, you saw in me
A light that I could no longer see
And oh, the mystery remains
Of what becomes of these golden days
And oh, who can say
Where the mystery will take us one day
You, you blew away
Your gentle breeze, it didn't stay
We, will we ever know
Where the mystery longs us to go?

Harmony
I always loved the way you smiled
And I always loved your tired eyes
And you always thought that I was the one
And that we’d waited for far too long
I always thought that you would stick around
I always thought that you would be my guide
We didn’t know, we didn’t think that it would break
And now you’re gone and its late
You’re not the kind to move a mountain
Oh no, you’re not the kind to let someone back in
So, I can knock, lie at your feet
But you will not admit defeat
I always thought that you would stick around
I always thought that you would be my guide
We didn’t know, we didn’t think that it would break
And now you’re gone and its late

Fire in snow

Fire in Snow
What can I do?
Oh, something has changed
What can I say?
Oh, it’s like a wave
Came over me
Like fire in snow
Swallowed me whole
Warmed me through
What can I do?
Oh, something has changed
It’s what I want
It scares me the same
Came over me
Like fire in snow
Swallowed me whole
Warmed me through
What can I do?
I’m glowing inside
I’ll leave the dark
I’ll go outside
Came over me
Like fire in snow
Swallowed me whole
Warmed me through

Kite

Kite
You are like the sun
And I’m the moon
Seasons come
And go again
You took me higher
Than I’ve ever been
We’re like the road
That leads to the hills
Fire burns
Come, let’s burn
You are tied
To your shore
I’m like a kite
I rise and fall
Fire burns
Come, let’s burn
We’ll never know
What we could have been
You seek without
And I seek within
Fire burns
Come, let’s burn
Oooh, oooh, ooh ooh

Wounded soldier

Wounded Soldier
Wounded soldier
I wait for you
Through the weeks and days that pass
Through this uncertainty that lasts
Wounded soldier
We find each other
In the night, it takes us by surprise
Battle weary in your eyes
Wounded soldier
Precious warrior
Rest your head on me and close your eyes
Lie your head down next to mine

It is a story
03:35
|

It is a story
I saw your face
In the newspaper again
They were talking about
About something you’d said
But I want to kiss you
Like in a movie you’ve seen
We’d be talking together
And then you’d reach for me
And I saw your face
It’s a face that I know
It’s the same but it’s different
But I can’t say how
We talked about
A book I had read
They’d made a film
But it was no good
It is a story
Of two people who fall
In love with each other
When they’re really old
Oh I want to know you
In a way that no one
Has ever known you
And I think that I can
Oh you once told me
I was your kind of girl
Oh did you mean it
Cause I couldn’t tell
And there was a time
When it was just you and me
Now when I see you
You’re on TV
But I want to kiss you
Like in a movie you’ve seen
We’d be talking together
And then you’d reach for me
And I see your face
It’s the face that I know
It’s the same but it’s different
But I can’t say how

I let myself be led
03:36
|

I let myself be led
Oh, I let myself be led
Oh, I let myself be bled
Look for the shadow inside
Always there, always blind
Oh, I find myself on the edge
Been here before, oh I confess
Pulled by a power inside
Taken by something I can’t fight
And your eyes,
Find me in the night
And why, do you keep coming back?
And why, do I keep coming back?
Oh, your eyes
Shining in the night
Oh, I let myself be led
Oh, I let myself be bled
Oh, I let myself be led
Oh, I let myself be bled

You are the land
03:34
|

You are the land
Oh I waited for winter
Now I wait for spring
It’s all that I can do
This waiting
And it started with a whisper
Ended with a shout
The pen may be mighty
But words can cut like knives
So row me gently
And row me wide
For I am a sailor
And you are the land
You are the land
And if love is a gambler
and passion is a thief
Let’s roll the dice over
Let’s steal what we need
Oh, you fear for the future
Fear for the past
Hold on to what you don’t want
Let go of what can last
Oh row me gently
And row me wide
For I am a sailor
And you are the land
You are the land
Oh I waited for winter
Now I wait for spring
II’ve tried but I cannot
Give up believing
So row me gently
And row me wide
For I am a sailor
And you are the land
You are the land
