Windchimes

I see you walk beside me
underneath eternity
Wishing to be
“Anyone but me”
Descend into his arms
Your hopes and dreams will break apart
His lilted lies pouring into your heart
The night will crawl inside you
When you feel him start to leave
And kissing you upon your cheek
The windchimes in the dark
Reveal your silent burning scars
As your bodies falling toward the stars
“Show me why this must be”
“This must be”

Windchimes II

Sunlight through coloured glass show me
All the things that you lack
And what must come to pass
Dead leaves and hollow trees
Grow cold in a winter meant to last
Until they bring us back
Show me love
Show me any love at all
I see you walk away
From my windowsill
I see you lick your lips
For that white stag kiss
There is blood inside that hymn
And I don't want to be with him
There is salt in my soul for you
I know you know it’s true
Show me any love at all
I matter, you won't shatter this heart
I matter, I matter more than this
Real love will guide me home
Will guide me home

Lady of the lake
I don't feel the same as
I once did for you
The fire turned back to the earth
When I said goodbye to you
And I know you feel it too
I feel the same as you
Lady of the lake
I'm not in the same deep
Water that you breathe
The pines breach your mortal soul
And reap what you had once foretold
And I know you feel This too
I feel the same as you
This twin beast we've become
Will tear us from inside
The wounds we've dealt in lays
Have sealed our lasting lies
With crying calls and spells
You cannot hope to cast
The sun burns shapes of
Men that you can not hope to mask
Lady of the lake
I don't feel the same as
I once did for you
Embers stoked by dreams that link
My burning thoughts to you
And I know you feel this too
I feel the same as you
I feel the same as you

Speak to Me
03:59
|
|||
|
Wander off
Inside the sweetest sound
Drenched in fire
And the blood of our desire
Breathe a name
Of the one who shares the same
Dream
Hemlocks growing
Glowing at your feet
Dancing light
Upon you as we meet
Know the truth
That aligns with your own
Belief
So speak to me
Inside my dream
Speak to me
In any way at all
Speak to me
Before this moments all
Gone
Home and space
Start to decay
When you're aware
Of the feelings we share
To keep our means
We’ll stand by our own
Beliefs
So speak to me
Inside my dream
Speak to me
In any way at all
Speak to me
Before this moments all
Gone
Lover I need you here
Lover I need you here
Leave when it’s dark
Cry while we’re apart
Lover I need you
Speak to me
Inside my dream
Speak to me
Before your soul is all…
So speak to me
Inside my dream
Speak to me
In any way at all
Speak to me
Before this moments all
Gone

Home
And the magic it contains
When it’s you
And the flowers you arrange
Can only be
Love
It is wasted in my head
When it’s you
Who will be here till I'm dead
A silent romance
I fell in to you
I fell out of grace
What will they say
Home
A place you wanna be
Because we live
In an age where love is script
So we’ll fight
For a night of silent bliss
Where love and home must be
I fell in to you
I fell out of grace
What will they say

With Flowers
03:29
|

|
I’ll meet you under milky ways
Or under blood red skies
I’ll hold you till you sing with joy
Or laugh until you cry
As seasons pass through the looking glass
The winter never dies
But a fear born in your silent ways
That our love, that our love will leave you
Confused in darkness
Alone in your heart
My highness walks alone at night
As I trickle out at dawn
But I'll put that lily ghost to rest
Underneath your hollyhock
Along with sympathies
Because you’re the world to me
And sing
With flowers in your hair
Your words float through the air
No man in court would dare
Take a hand so fair
Like clouds dissolve in sky
We all must surely die
But our love outlasts goodbyes
If I hear your bird song
I know you’ll be along
With one last kiss before the dawn
With flowers in your hair
Your words float through the air
No man in court would dare
Take a hand so fair

Last Words
02:19
|
|||
|
If I leave this world behind
I will always be by your side
When I float up to the sky
You will always be on my mind
I will always love you dear
Long after I disappear
I don’t want to mark your stone
Or to walk this world alone
But I’ll honor your last words
And continue on unfurled
I will always love you dear
Long after you disappear

Guinevere

Guinevere hold my soul
In a box of glass and stone
I've lost my thoughts so clear
For my mind is insincere
Sitting out by the lake
Trying to undertake
I've got an intrusive jealous heart
That cannot be so quelled
And I'll give you my bones
And I'll give you my ghost
And I'll fall on my sword just to give it all to you
Guinevere
Guinevere hold my soul
Guinevere hold my bones
Speak to me from the lake
And I'll speak all my heart can make
The thoughts won't leave my mind
But the words are lost in time
My heart in the lake won't bleed
And a swords not what it needs
And I'll give up my bones
And I'll give up my ghost
And I'll fall on my sword just to give it all to
you
Guinevere
And I'll save your mortal soul as soon as I’m released
And I'll defend your moral woes will all my disease
And all the lords and ladies wait
To see what are blood can make
With the stars in your skin
And the light in the snow
Whatever grave you're in I will go
In Avalon I'll rest my soul
Right down beside the kings of old
And I'll give up my bones
And I'll give up my ghost
And I'll fall on my sword just to give it all to
you
Guinevere
The wind won't cry when we meet
But I'll turn into someone I can’t believe
It took a fall from grace to be here
But I know it's not one we should fear
Guinevere
Guinevere
I'll be there
Naked and austere
Holding you so near
For all my years to come
The words won't be enough
To say how I feel
I'll be blind till my thoughts are clear
Guinevere
My heart wants you

Birdcage
04:01

The birds will sing a song of love I know
When it’s time for your soul to go
A stitch in time an inch of thread
A last kiss upon your head again
I’ll be here until your end
The feelings lost in time weren’t all just mine
But I'll take them as they come or as a sign
And time will take what we erase
And leave it for us to face again
And feel it's cold embrace
You’re waking me to say
Don’t be afraid
White shores and grey
Ships to far away
They can try to erase your name
From the page
But indentions withstand throughout the age
Time will wish you away
But in my mind our love will stay even when
The bird has left it’s cage
I know that we will meet again for sure
When our hearts wash up on the shore
We’ll kiss and wave and say hello
And wish that we never said goodbye the day
The day that you had died
You’re waking me to say
Don’t be afraid
White shores and grey
Ships to far away
A swift sunrise on green
To beyond we’ll see

(Instrumental)
Ho! And Alas
The white ships of splendor
Have gone sailing sailing sailing
Across the endless endless sea
Off to Valinor and Avalon
And other such places of wonder
That the old world used to know
Let us rejoice
For under the waves
And under the hills
We will find a place
beyond the silver rain
To call home

A Ballad as a Will
03:59
|
|||
|
When you say
My mom will impart
All that she knows
Into my heart and be there
Long after she departs
When you say
Life will leave its mark
And you say that love
It will stop and start again
Without any black art
And you say that love
Will break us apart
And you say that love
Will tear us apart
And you say that love
Will break us
And I admit I
Don’t listen to feelings too much
And I hope that
Your winter is gone
And I hope that you lived
The life that you sought to live
Without anything to stop
And I hope that
Your babies are well
And I hope that they know
That I will be watching them
So they won’t be by themselves
And you say that love
Will break us apart
And you say that love
Will tear us apart
And you say that love
Will break us
And I admit I
Don’t listen to feelings too much
Pictures of our youth
Before we’re abused
The silence of friends
Before the amends
I don’t want to choose a life without you
So I'll be coming as fast as I can
How long
How long will you wait for me
How long
How long must I wait for thee
Only you know
How long you will wait for me
