MOONLIGHT DELTA
You feel like you’re free
Your feet sunk in the sea
Maybe tonight
You’re an Audouin’s flight
Your molecules soar
And blend in with the salt
You follow the shore
But you never thought
I’d say
(Don’t hide)
Your Poison
(Don’t hide)
Your love
(Can you see)
Can you see my
Electricity
You turn to be one, but it’s making you numb
This is the water, that flows like a river
And the river’s intention is to become an ocean
I need the connection, take me there, baby?
This is the water, that flows like a river
And the river’s intention is to become an ocean
The moon lights the delta, to clear the direction
So everyone’s leaving, but I need to fill her
You live in my heart, like a dream in the dark

HIDDEN LOVERS
You were twenty-two
A lover and a muse
And on that very night
I became your parasite
Oh, mother don’t you know
He’s a shooting star
Oh, father I’d be lost
With a feeble heart
N’I remember when they said
They’d break into your head
Nobody’d ever seen
Right inside a dream
I don’t know how you kept so strong
In the two years we’ve been gone
Sometimes I’d love to just become
Hidden lovers in every song
Now we’ve come back to life
To this old boring sight
I’ll follow you this time
I’ll shed my piece of mind
Oh let me come to life
With another mind
Oh let me come to life
In a different mind
I don’t know how you kept so strong
In the two years we’ve been gone
Sometimes I’d love to just become
Hidden lovers in every song
I can’t know what you’re feeling
I don’t know how you kept so strong
In the two years we’ve been gone
Sometimes I’d love to just become
Hidden lovers in every song

TRAVELLER
Well, I’ve travelled farther than I thought I’d live
I found some hope along the way now do its bid
Cos’ I know
There’s more light
To ignite
So we let our love grow long
And pushed on through to where we belong
While it’s true these teenage girls now get their kicks
From rough and hollow, maladroit, beguiling tricks
We are miles away
With the ones who love us more
And we just don’t care
(‘Cos) we know you love us more
And I am thankful for our restless feet that save my soul
Cos’ I am the traveller
To sieve this world from followers
We are miles away
With the ones who love us more
And we just don’t care
(‘Cos) we know you love us more
As I serve the hope I found I’ve learnt to learn
That I’m the island in your fire, a safe return
We are miles away
With the ones who love us more
And we just don’t care
(Yeah) we know you love us more

NORTH OF SOMETHING
There’s and edge to
Our existence
But it’s not my daughters
Who will live in the waning distance
Hear the thunder
Of the waves releasing hunger
Your lord of fire
Burns the mountain
Like a pyre
And all that you see
Followed a delicate scheme
I’ve been thinking
Of the thrill
In disappearing
If not escaping
In a way
Of not believing
But, I have no idea
Why I feel this way
Fickle love, the land don’t lie
Oh, we’re gazing with an empty eye
It’s in the way that
We have overstayed our time
Oh, soft machine
cleans the scene
Of debris
Shimmering
On your skin
Plastic dye
In your eye
In the tongues
Of your young
What we’ve done
We’ve done
This gun
Your gun
So long as
You’re gone
You’re gone
I’m …
Fickle, love, the land don’t lie
Oh, we’re gazing with an empty eye

SIMPLE FIRE
I’ve seen my eyes living a different life
When no-one’s watching
My lips divide the words I try to hide
Behind, pretending
That there’s no other I keep inside
But I’m her mother, a sleepless guide
You turn away, don’t wanna stay here
The city’s dying
Come out with me to New York City, dear
We’re both denying
That I’m the Summer you’re dreaming of
But I’m the woman so hard to love
There is no release in your abyss
And I’ll run away, won’t reminisce
Cut me open and slide inside
Feel the fire I’m prone to hide
My love is a simple fire
My love is a simple fire
I don’t want it from anyone else
I don’t want to need anyone else
I’m the tide inside a misty mind
Changing in for out and back in time
Though I vow to move and redefine
Oh, sunrise, you’re the newness that shines on our troublesome kind

Weightless Arrows

WEIGHTLESS ARROWS
In my resurrection
I’ll have no need for fear or
Feeling undecided
(Nor) Wage some other fool’s war
Like a bird that takes to flight
My motion is clear
I glisten in and out of sight
Un-sowing these years
In this new beginning
The river flows within me
I have no need for envy
The water keeps me brimming
Oh to see it all
With no disdain
The sounds and scenes have flourished
This dawn eludes my anguish
And I’m willingly delivered
To whence I would’ve shivered
I had never truly seen
The life I could be
We are weightless arrows
Crossing an ocean
Let me believe in
Perpetual motion
We belong to no one
Serve only the future
You, the sound replacing my lungs
The wave of something newer
Baptized in the joy
I used to destroy
Silently describing
A perfect angle
Floating away,
Birds of a new mantle
We are weightless arrows
Crossing an ocean
Let me believe that all that we are is in perpetual motion

BACK TO MY SOUL
You are light
Shinning bright
Like a star
We’d lost you for a moment
I held your hand so silent
And I’ll hold it every day
And I touch my face that feels like yours
Sonia, you know your smile feeds my soul
Oh sister, you know your smile feeds my soul
For I know that you trusted me
Your eyes loved me unconditionally
Now I need them more
More than ever before
For your feet
Want the sea
You yearned to drain the rivers
[Rivers]
So we took you to the sea
And now every time I swim in the ocean
I will do so with my eyes wide open
And now every time I swim in the ocean
I’ll become the sea so you can return
Back to my soul
Back to my soul
Come back to my soul
I remember your love
Remember your love
Remember your LOVE

Never Lost Sight

NEVER LOST SIGHT
Stuck under my skin
Where the blood should flow
I have only words that still sting
And resonate within
Distracting me from what I’ve been
Yet I am a vessel for the lost cause
I am translucent though my memory’s flawed
Cause I am like a bird
Forgetting everything I’ve heard
When the ocean calls
She don’t believe in fear
I could feel her first, an ever wandering dream
And even with the years
She carries everything I’ve seen
Like a light screen
I wanna go back to that summer
The endless planning and the gushing feel of joy
Don’t wanna be the one to wash-out, babe
Girl you can feel it like you never lost sight
You never lost sight
Cause it never felt too long
it never felt too long
it never felt too long
it never felt too long
it never felt too long
For all those endless time she’s been the light
Yeah, I knew then she was similarly tried
But, I just want to follow you
And drown it out
And I don’t recognize my life
Unless I see through your Summer eyes
I just wanna be alive,
Feel like I did in your Summer eyes

Cities

CITIES
All the colours running through my mind
Couldn’t seem to hide
My father’s eyes
The thread of transients flowing through my heart
Believed in flight
But not I
Folded tight into the stream of beings
Everyone’s unseen
On TV screens
I am moving forward into time
Believing I was mine
Sing us something pretty we all know
Something we can sing along to at the show
I’m in love with cities I have never seen
But I’m stuck with being a dreamer in a dream
All your friends don’t seem to like what they’ve become
Yet they sit and wish for all to stay undone
And now they see you
Lonely as the fire in your heart
I’m in love with cities I have never seen
And the island in the middle of my heart
Only moves for something I can’t give it

Comes To You

COMES TO YOU
Dancing with time, bearing no rhyme
Nor reasons for the crime, in everybody’s mind
The next time you love, maybe you should not
It is in the sounds washing through the towns
[Nobody feeds off lovers quite like you can do]
Distressed like those gossamer dreams intertwined with belief and time
[Nobody sets the sun in motion quite like you]
Nobody likes to see the fire cry
And it always comes from you
The next time you love, you should think of
Why we’re standing here, vacant eyes and tears
Crossing a desert, bleeding in the dirt
Tell him how it feels to hear the sounds you fear
[Nobody feeds off lovers quite like you can do]
Distressed like those gossamer-wings in the moonlit night
[Nobody sets the sun in motion quite like you]
Nobody likes to see the fire cry
But it always comes from you
You
Dressed in shades of blue
The water feels like
You
A shimmering
Untruth
A cold and brutal
Fool
I do hope love finds you
