hey
i still remember
this dream
fading from me
hey
this bitter cold
fading shadow
and a crow flies past the moon
hey
stepped down from the doorway
walking from your place
in the dark
hey
you’re not alone there
i’m like a stone there
in my way i try to sing
hey
your voice is beautiful
still hear it everywhere
just like a whisper on the breeze
hey
i wish i was stronger
i could hold on to you
stay and watch the moon move
hey
i see a beauty
as they float down
from smoke in pale skies
hey
your voice is beautiful
your light is beautiful
i’m losing you in the sound
hey
i saw a beauty
i think she knew me
clear as a collapse

saw a crow flying past the moon
i wanted to be on your mind always
light on dark and dark again
carves its shape in the moon and stars
before disappearing back into nothing
dark on dark and dark again
i thought i should be an idea
spread across your mind like stars in the sky
light on light and light again
crow to you the moon and more
a universe to surround and complete you
dark on light and dark again
it's not what i thought it was
light splitting shadow for a moment
dark on light and light again
disappearing into the static
crow flies past the moon
light on dark and light again

from above a forest fire
06:41
|

|
dust of a new daylight moves
ashes break like mountains do
i’m nothing in the shadow of your love
we talked about a mess of gold
new ideas of growing old
and beauty once was not the stars above
tie a rope around my feet
i don’t believe in meant to be
i only ever meant to make you smile
leave me lying in the lake
i pray the lord my soul to take
i don’t believe in very much at all
the last night was a cold collapse
the sky sung like a falling axe
and at the end i never said a word
and fire roared and smoke did speak
“there’s nothing here for you to keep”
and we drove off fast as though to say we could
tie a rope around my feet
i don’t believe in meant to be
i only ever meant to stay a while
leave me on this burning peak
i pray the lord my soul to keep
i don’t believe in very much at all
in the clearing
i heard you say it
“this light is something i don’t know”
what a strange thing
i tried to say it
“this album’s good but the last one was better”
i believe in you
at least i try to
it’s easy if i never look down
tie a rope around my feet
i’m afraid but i have to be
i only mean to wait for a little while
i don’t need the sky to love
i don’t believe in very much
beauty to me is not in the stars above

the storm pushing into the mountains
i'm just trying to understand
i’ll figure it all out tomorrow
voice:
(daylight in shapes on the window
the shape of a thunder unfolding
they are right to think of you less now
you’re only a shape in the moonlight
the shape of your body, your figure
“you’ll figure it all out tomorrow”
the storm does not fork lightning to meet you
their faces look like mine)

walking home from your place in the dark
waiting
i remember
nothing else but the storm
i held you in my arms
i said everything will be alright
like the storm
i hold you close to be safe

empty sound
sorrow is an empty sound
could i see it all as it is
could i see it all as it is
cold light
a statue in the cold light
helpless for a new daylight
helpless for a new daylight
abandon
this place has long been abandoned
faces like concrete walls
faces like concrete walls
used to be
i can’t remember what i used to be
i wish i was a new daylight
i wish i was a new daylight
o my friends
i will find the ashes of my friends
floating down from the sky
dust in the new daylight
could i see a rose for the thorns
could i see the fall for the spring
mark the storm
i used to be so friendly

from now on i will be there
i hope to be clearer
i only mean to wait
for a little while
walking from your place in the dark
in the breeze and bright stars
sounds of all collapsing
fade out in the light
so i stop and watch the moon move
like we used to do
naked all around you
finally disappear
and if it’s all a dream
it’s what would be easy
not to be a burden
just dust in the wind
i don’t know what i have left
i don’t know what i have left
i hope to be clearer
a falling stone
(i remember her laying and smiling)
(just trying to understand)
(i'll figure it all out tomorrow)
voice:
(see the daylight through the window
remember this beautiful dream
don't worry about what to believe in
this is only a shadow
the shape of your body your figure
you'll figure it all out tomorrow
listen to everything collapsing
this is only a dream)
crow flies past the low moon
i might be leaving soon
always been a coward
nothing will have changed
waiting just for a while
in blacking smoke and pale sky
only staying to leave
when the moments right
so i’m scared of what tomorrow
brings until i’m shaking
i won’t be a saviour
i will be a stone
marked another feeling
we came into a clearing
i tried again to say it
and again i failed
from now on i will be there
i hope to be clearer
i won’t be your saviour
i will be a stone
in your heart
i don’t know what i have left
i don’t know what i have left
i hope to fail
a falling stone in your heart
(i remember her laying and smiling)
(just trying to understand)
(i'll figure it all out tomorrow)
voice:
(see the daylight through the window
remember this beautiful dream
don't worry about what to believe in
this is only a shadow
the shape of your body your figure
you'll figure it all out tomorrow
listen to everything collapsing
this is only a dream)

fading a shadow
memory of a bitter cold
fading a dream
falter in the moonlight
is it a shadow
i see you laying and smiling
is it a dream
fading from me
i will wait
for you to see
mountains break
the burning trees
in blacking smoke
the forest fire
you asked if i would
stay a while
in dreams i see the end of all things
the beauty there
in the falling sky
all buildings give
the purest light
just before
the cold collapse
i could have sworn
i heard you laugh
in dreams i see the end of all things
a weeping face
painted the ground
the ocean rise
a waking sound
nothing moved
below the sea
above the sound
unlike anything
in dreams i see the end of all things
if this is a shadow
can i meet you in the bitter cold
if this is a dream
can i kiss you in the wavering moonlight
if this is a shadow
i will offer up my life for it
if this is a dream
i swear i won’t say anything
