Silvered Song
02:50
|
|||
|
so silent now/the slowing wind, so different then from all we knew/
in warming bloom/we ran in the dew among deadened trees/
and, i spoke for you/with the cold hard wind as a blade cutting in/
when the frost is keen, the day is no friend/
and memory takes your place/
silent now/in a softening glaze of quite shy sound/
the tears run away in a haunting song
/as full as the moon of that haunted day/
when we stood as a blade/when the cold hard wind cuts in wild desire/
and i’m fading away in a haunted fire/
and memory takes your place .

Mirror
05:22
|

|
i’ve seen the way you look at all the things i despise/
i’ve seen you look around for somewhere darker to hide/
till every hint of colour is evaded at last/
till yr just empty colours staring out from the glass/
mirror, show to me - mirror, slowly ...
sing this stolen beauty in yr cracked voiced curse/
i’ll sing yr stolen music to an indifferent world/
i’m grasped by you in horror, grabbed up in a failing/
in treachery, destruction, in a self-betraying -
mirror, show to me, mirror - slowly see something kind .

Throw Water at the Sky
03:38
|
|||
|
you throw water at the sky/and pray that it won’t fall on you/
you fill yr empty n hollow insides/in emptiness nurtured entombed/
the cold’s rising curtailing yr mind/changing all that you view/
its slow caution will flood and then thrive
and override the world you knew/
there’s no quarter given yr pride, there’s only devouring gloom/
a slow torment of deadening drive/
a defeat that’s swallowing you/
there’s no measure of pity for pride/
you break in the dust of yr ruin/
you throw handfuls of water at the sky/
and you pray that it won’t leave you dry/
and drown those around you .

The Two Thorns
03:43
|
|||
|
born in blind thorns/gazing on/
first spring awaiting/gazing on/
tho these creatures made this song/
it is you, just you singing on and on/
held there spellbound/glittering/
blazing unearthly/trembling/
tho these creatures are unknowing/
it is you, just you their longing brings/
these two thorns tangle, run thru me/
and the wide, lost world i see so clear/
blossoming thorns come real to me/ah for why, i can’t ask/
but i draw them nearer me/
these two thorns will bury me/and the light and dark belong near me/
sun drawn thorns embrace and be/
ah for why i don’t ask/and, its love i see .

Comedown
03:56
|
|||
|
comedown /to walk the living maze/
come out /rarefied in angel wings/
come now /to brake down, to fall down/
at long last i reach for you/among all the living things/
at long last i reach for you/in this braking down place/
at long last i reach to you/and i’m exhausted, estranged/
you take the day/and you take it away/you take it for yours/
comedown /yr vanishing, finishing/
comedown /in dead of night/the dead of winter/
comedown /your silences paralyse/
comedown /be suddenly alive again/
come out /be burning, be sentient/
come out /and walk among the living things .

Short Lives
03:32
|
|||
|
an instrumental, but ... the lyrics might well begin like THIS : I know that you are there somewhere/ but I have no feeling/ you have no feeling/ this is a place of fear/ this is a place for the displaced of soul .

where can I go, with caution as a name? - it keeps me alive …
tho the careless would blame and they’d swear that they know they’d be without fear, know no shame : they’ll swear – yes they’ll swear that it’s a solitary thing, a separate path that the heart will never wear – and they’ll never display and give a way there… they say they’ve no right to be there/they’d claim the day! beware .
should i heed yr words?should i heed yr cry and surrender myself to yr breaking sigh that comes here today, sealing your way?… should i trust yr word? /… can i trust to fate? /should I heed those words?
should I heed that cry ?… because you know i’ve been there, to a fearful love - and i’ve come to be afraid, afraid of being alone/but, i’ll say n i’ll swear i never meant to be there . for i’d be there, for love . i’d not make that mistake .

Song of the River
04:22
|
|||
|
i can’t be here, feel here/feeling at such a loss to breathe in here/
and be/where I don’t come from/the morning’s empty, waiting/
something has took the song and brought it nowhere/somewhere I don’t feel strong .
you, you make this song -
you, you waited too long .
and i can’t see here, speak here, and i can find no air/
there’s no light to ignite - i only stop, then stare/
there’s no place to stand, nowhere/
there is nowhere of worth, there’s only forgetting/
brought back down to earth/
you, you make this song -
you, you waited too long .

Radiance
03:03
|

|
why can i not see you?/
i am in the room/
and i want to see your face/
it’s in me now/a distance surrounds/
i’m lost somehow/
n i’m drowning now/
n i’ve lost the ground i’d claim/
in loveloss/hiding/
lustre/love lorn/waiting/wanting/
a one simple way/
in hunger/fervour/languor & sighing/
silent/yearning/further away/
i want to touch you/
and my empty hands can know no grace/
and i look to you/i find your gaze is far now/
yr not reaching out/
tho I sense that now, we are the same .

Wild Lament

An instrumental - but the lyrics MIGHT well go something like so : I am summer - you are winter/ I am something - you are nothing .

Soon Will Be the Day
06:45
|
|||
|
step out on any morning/far now yr voice of sighs/
where, now yr heart is calmest/soon will be the day/
drink deep where you wait longest/
for a long calling surprise/
comes now to take up the promise/
soon will be the day/
come round to sweet reason/
step out/do not hide/
drink deeper than every sad eye/
soon will be the day
/to no longer wait in wonder/
for a long calling surprise/comes now/you’ll wait no longer/
soon will be the day .

Ink Horn

one star laughing/one star dazzling, taunts you so/
one star looking/one star falling/where’er you go/
one star wakened/one star bears you, liberates you so/
one star takes you/one star shapes you, as if you know/
one star waking/one star calling, taunts you over n over/one star tells you/ one star leads you, points you home/there’s one star awakened/
there’s one star accepts you, here where you stand/n one star takes you/ one star shapes you, and then you know/
stars a-falling/ascending a-glow/

Biog stuff? It’s always changing. Re creativity, a wise man said: ‘‘It doesn’t matter where, as long as it’s out of this world’’. This seems a good way to feel about it all ... the music should be like a drugged dream, poem, hope, prayer - probably a blues .
