Look into the light
Fills you completely
Look into the light
Reflects you so sweetly
Now that the nights completely out of sight

Look into the light
Fills you completely
Look into the light
Reflects you so briefly
Large as your eyes the deepness of the night

Look into the light
Fills you completely
Look into the light
Reflects you so sweetly
Now that the nights completely out of sight

In this house nothing keeps you warm
In this house writings on the wall
Felt like this before
In this house vinegar and pain
In this house loneliness again

Nights without an end
Weeping trees, scolded knees, you'll never see a place to hide
A bed of bones and bruising stones, so alone inside the fear
In this house nothing keeps you warm
In this house writings on the wall
Felt like this before

. . .


Like a piece of the air, it's just how you feel
Are you really there? Are you even real?
I don't know which way to go, when I hear you everywhere
There's a melody in every line, and a sorrow in these eyes of mine
if a diamond hangs in every tree and a life is lost for every leaf, can a bird still sing?
I listened just this morning this is what I heard
An angel's wings in cool night air, like a blackbird in the chapel
A starling in the moonlight fair, wings beating up a gale
In the morning, in the morning

In the morning, ooh in the morning
You're a part of the air, & you shake a whole field
With your golden hair, & your golden shield
I don't know which way to go, when I hear you everywhere
There's a melody in every line, and a sorrow in these eyes of mine
If a diamond hangs in every tree and a life is lost for every leaf, can a bird still sing?
And I listened just this morning this is what I heard
An angel's wings in cool night air,like a blackbird in the hill
Night bird singing at sunlight, wings beating up a gale
In the morning, in the morning
In the morning, ooh in the morning

Like a piece of the air, it's just how you feel
Just hovering there, are you even real?
I don't know which way to go, when I hear you everywhere
There's a melody in every line, and a sorrow in these eyes of mine
If a diamond hangs in every tree and a life is lost for every leaf, can a bird still sing?
And i listened just this morning this is what I heard
An angel's wings in cool night air, like a blackbird in the hail
Starlings in the moonlight fair, wings beating up a gale
Legless owl in endless flight, unable for to settle
In oceans like a giants mind, harbouring its mettle
In the morning, in the morning
In the morning, ooh in the morning

. . .


If you want me, come and get me
If you want me, you'll be there
In the daytime, in the night time
Over here and, over there
It's oh so serious
It's oh so lame
I'm half delirious, when you call my name
If you want me, come and get me
If you want me, you'll be there
In the daytime, in the night time
Over here and, over there
It's oh so serious
It's oh so lame
I'm half delirious, when you call my name
If you want me, come and get me
If you want me, you'll be there
It's oh so serious
It's oh so lame

. . .


Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love for me
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love
Through your perfect love
I met you & you met me, we sang in perfect harmony
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love for me
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love
Swam my perfect love
I met you & you met me, we sang in perfect harmony
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love for me
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love
Swam my perfect love
I met you and you met me, we sang in perfect harmony
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love for me
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love
Flew your perfect love

. . .


There's a world where we can disappear, into our own little stratosphere
You see the stars up in heaven baby? They belong to me
You & me are gonna learn to fly, the little pathways across the sky
There's nothing here that can hold you baby, come along with me
The rain falls down, such a familiar sound
I'm on the ground, wet
Like the first time we met
Maybe now it's time to say goodbye, put your skirt on hitch it high
There's a wind gonna take us, baby, close your eyes to see
There's a world where we can start anew, set alight by sun & moon
The spirits cry in the rivers, baby, come along with me
The rain falls down, such a familiar sound
I'm on the ground, wet
Like the first time we met
Brave the storm (ok)
There's a sorrow in your eyes of green, a darker song I have never seen
I see the earth in your body baby, come along with me
The rain falls down, such a familiar sound
I'm on the ground, wet
Like the first time we met
Brave the storm

. . .


Oh said you suddenly, can you see what is?
Oh are you gonna see? The deed bees
Oh what you want from me & my dulled ear?
Oh what you gonna see?
A dead deer
A dead deer
Oh child you settle down, lest he comes back
Oh do you wanna see a dead rat?
No he ain't comin back, he's stretchin on a rack
Oh have you ever seen?
A dead man
A dead man
No, you go in front of me, for to breathe the air
Oh are you gonna see, the dead mare
Come now don't you say make a sound, don't you say a word
Oh you wanna see?
The dead bird
A dead bird

. . .


Sorrow's army. Sorrow's army bleeds
Sorrow's army. Sorrow's army bleeds
Sees his chest wide-open, falls to his knees
Sorrow's army. Sorrow's army bends
Sorrow's army. Sorrow's army bends
Sees the darkness & prays for painless end
Drag your bodies homewards. Mend your broken minds
There's another way, still time to say bye bye
Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye
Sorrow's army. Sorrow's army dies
Sorrow's army. Sorrow's army dies
Sees his wife at home & feels his body cry
Mend your broken minds now, sing your empty hymns
Oh it's time to die now, no time to say bye bye.
Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye

Where've you been? Where I can't see
Wooden lion on your knee
Washed & dressed by mountain hand
Came from water to the sand
Promise me, Caspian Sea
Caspian Sea. x4
Caspian Sea. x2
Where've you been? Where I can't see
Wooden lion on your knee
Washed & dressed by mountain hand
Came like water to the sand
Promise me, Caspian Sea
Caspian Sea. x12

. . .


Where's the beauty buried in this land?
What will harm or give guiding hand
To boiling lives that pull up through the sea
Fresh undug from the inside of me
Oh how long can it be? Breaking habits with me
Home. Sanctuary
Home, back to me
It's so hard to be away
Now my heart empties into sand
Bunt and tiny, hold out my hand
This war we live through, rattles in my veins
Many deaths & short circuited brains
Oh how long can it be?
A brave new world to see
Home. Sanctuary
Home, back to me
It's so hard to be away.x2
Now your arms, they smooth away the pain
Use your power, to take clean away
A world that makes us suffer so undue
Let's fade away start out lives anew
Oh how long can it be? Breaking habits with me
Home. Sanctuary
Ain't it so hard to be away.x2

. . .


Where were you? On the sofa
With a love moments over
Where was I? In a bed
Kind of coffin, kind of dead
Heaven help me, help me to be a humble man x2

Where were you? On the sofa
With a love boiling over
Heaven helped me, helped me to be
Heaven helped me, helped me to be a humble man

Never had a problem
When he was 8 years old
And I feelin right
You're falling out of trees
And you're braking all your bones
And it feels right
You feel right
I feel right

Never had a problem
Turning 8 years old
And I feelin right
You're getting out the tree
And you're picking up the soul
And it feels right
You feel right
I feel right

Sinning for it matters
And no matter how it feels like
Running across the border
Away from you

Never had a problem
When I was 8 years old
And I feelin right
Falling out of trees
And braking all your bones
And it feels right
You feel right
I feel right
You feel right
I feel right

Sinning for it matters
And no matter how it feels like
Running across the border
Away from you

Never had a problem
When I was 8 years old
And I feelin right
Falling out of trees
And braking all your bones
And it feels right
It feels right
I feel right
Feels right
I feel right

. . .


Take me by the hand
Take me to your land
Far from everything x2
Far from everything
Far
The soul is old
The body cold
Heart lies flat in all it's bloodless fold
Our faded sight
The constant night, from the people further from the light
Take me by the hand
Take me to your land
Far from everything x2
Far from everything
Far

. . .


It's all too much, too much for me
Running ahead & tripping over the sea
Something's out, just out of reach
The eternal running to mummy's knee
Running out, out of steam
Tripping over, ding dong bells
Winning first prize so easily
Running over, tripping over the sea

. . .


Airs loose like musk from old coats
Roads rainbows with oil
Sky breaks, we are washed by the weather
November, wind blown together
A winter so vain
Envelope soak through
Sky breaks, we are washed by the weather
Airs loose like musk from old coats
Roads rainbow with oil
Sky breaks we are washed by the weather
November, blown together
