Old Moon
04:34
|
|
||
A warm breeze blows gently through
The branches above the avenue
As hazy dusk begins to fade
The cloak of night falls down
Is this my time?
(Seconds fall like lead)
Beneath old moon
(Cold hands touch my head)
Under this old moon
Time releases me
Under this old moon
Leaf falls from the tree
Standing on the old steps
Worn by time and tread
Staring through the gloom I see
A horseman on the road ahead
Is this my time?
(Seconds fall like lead)
Beneath old moon
(Cold hands touch my head)
Under this old moon
Time releases me
Under this old moon
Leaf falls from the tree
Come with me
Time to go
Leave behind
All you've known
Come and see
I'll take you there
To move on
And lift the veil
Under this old moon

The Last Sunset
04:19
|
|

Senses falter
Feelings fade
Muddied water
Rusty blade
The shaking hands
The aching limbs
The eyes that see
A world gone dim
Slowly sinking
Rolling wreck
No more oceans
The last sunset
Oh the way the light fades
Tide draws low
Rocks exposed
This slack water
Doesn't flow
The silent fall
Horizon swims
The day forgotten
As night creeps in
Slowly sinking
Rolling wreck
No more oceans
The last sunset
Oh the way the light fades
In the depths below
Beyond the light
No time or tide
No time or tide
In the frigid water deep
With empty lungs
And breathless sleep
And breathless sleep
Oh the way the light fades

The Mourning
05:52
|
|
||
The window and the mirror
Draped in white winding sheets
And time flew to her lying there
On fleet, fast feet
The night long vigil
And each mourning prayer
In droning answered pleas
Out of tune and air
The night long vigil
And each mourning prayer
Intoning sanctities
For one who does not care
To face her god
She needed no support
In prayers for the living
To face her god
She needed no support
And words fall like stones
The burning black wicked candles
Lighting comfortless air
And heads bowed in mock despair
Mouthing mourning prayer
The night long vigil
And each mourning prayer
In droning answered pleas
Out of tune and air
The night long vigil
And each mourning prayer
Intoning sanctities
For one who does not care
To face her god
She needed no support
In prayers for the living
To face her god
She needed no support
And words fall like stones

Shards
04:34
|
|

I lost the light long ago
I lost the fight that day
I'm watching through the window
A shadow from another place
Unbound from all I cared for
Under shadows I lay
I'm standing here so hollow
Indistinct without a face
Near the light
Are the shadows
Here where all
Shards wait
I wandered like a pale ghost
I wandered long, lost my way
I waited for distant voice
A calling to a better place
The shards of glass that surround me
Under feet they break
I'm shattered like broken glass
A thousand shards, a thousand pains
Near the light
Are the shadows
Here where all
Shards wait

Tethered
03:16
|
|

And so we come to
The end of these days
As the lights burn low
The winter brings change
As the years move along
My power will fade
Wasting in the twisting path
Until there's no more days
Cry for me
I have no tears
Waiting for
My end years
Each time around the sun
And I'm here once more
The cycle begins again
And comes to a close
Motionless and moving on
I spin through these days
Carried on the shifting tide
But tied to one place
Cry for me
I have no tears
Waiting for
My end years

The World is Ours
04:24
|
|
||
To hold you now
In longing arms
Feel you just once
Two bodies touch
I'm tired of waiting
Shed my thorns
If only for
This moment
Walk with me
While all sleep
The world is ours
For this night
Walk with me
The world is ours
To touch your face
And feel you there
Let us dissolve
Into the night
I want the motion
I've lost the fight
I only see
You in my eyes
Walk with me
While all sleep
The world is ours
For this night
Walk with me
The world is ours
