Unexpected
04:02

How could I know
At my window
Where the wind blows
That's where she goes
Waiting near me
Not to hear me
Not to take care
Just to be there

Fallen Birds
05:00
|
|||
No one is an island
But someone is at sea
Standing, he can touch the ground
And he looks around
Way up in the sky above
Floating rafts of stars
Whisper as they sail away
And I can say goodbye
The fallen birds have lost their nerve
I hear them as they cry
I'm with you now
Here with you now
Someday we will fly
Soaring through the clouds again
Laying on the grass
Speeding through the Milky Way
As it rolls away in the dark
Sit in my hand
Sleep to my voice
This will not help you at all
Someone is afraid of you
I am like the dawn
Flashing while you sleep away
In the light of day I'm gone

Now comes the night of secrets
And in the morning we are two
Strangers, but there must be some mistake
There must be some mistake
The mask that I was wearing
No longer fits me and I feel
Lonely as the wind across the plain
Searching for the rain
With every question
I fade away a little more
And you can watch
Or turn away
As it suits you
Still, I fade
And in the afternoon I
Will chase the sun across the floor
Trapped in shadow
Silent as the dust
Blowing where I must

I'm Still Here
02:47
|
|||
I'm all right
Feeling fine
Coming to
Sifting through
Grain by grain
I can't explain
What I fear
Things align
Things disperse
My decline
Could be worse
Stone by stone
My great unknown
I'm still here

Winter Song
03:19
|
|||
When you fall awake
Please remember me
If I start to shake
Soothe me tenderly
It's not hard to fake
And I would gladly take the gift
Out there in the street
Snow is falling
It's all the same to me
I came calling
Because I had to see
If you could shelter me
Too much to ask
Of anyone
What did I expect?
Nothing more than this
Something indirect
Your uncertain kiss
As I peel away my skin
That's no way to begin
I give up everything
Something no one wants
|

I live in a city surrounded by trees
But it might be a desert
With the drunks and the junkies
All turning their faces away from the wind
Nobody comes from this place
But some of us never will leave here
It's a beautiful city
A beautiful life
But I wish I was home
There's no way to get there
Where is my home?
The place that has died has a place in my mind
And I'm tempted to stay there
I may be living there more than I am aware
Comes a time when my mind will burn down
Like the city that died long ago
And after I'm gone there'll be nothing at all
All the fine desolation reminds me of loneliness
Bought with my freedom
So I live like a king
But I want to go home

She Waited
06:03
|
|||
She waited a long, long time
She waited a long, long time
What does it matter?
She had her reasons
I hear her voice and I turn
She went to the riverside
She went looking for things that fly
But when they saw her
They fell from the sky
She could not shed a tear
She did what she wanted to
Just as we all must do
If you tried to prevent her
She knew a secret
All roads lead away from here

I Fall
05:07
|
|||
When I fell asleep
I dreamed that I was sleeping
I did not awake
For a thousand years
Nothing much had changed
I fall
Right through it all
Looking up at the sky
Everywhere I go
Someone's already there
Such a strange Idea
It seems to me
We should start again
I would like to hold you
If I were made of flesh
But I am just an inkling
A firefly
Blinking in the dark
