Hush 04:31
Looking through the windowpane All the colours of the moonshine Blur your mind And does anybody ever tell you That everybody’s got you down And you fold like a flower In the twilight Just one day longer Like a cloud passing over It went as fast as it came Your heart tells nothing Of the one you thought you found Who drinks you like water From the cold ground Just one day longer Like a cloud passing over It went as fast as it came
2.
Sea Spells 04:27
What are these words I hear Often whispered in my ear Tumbling ‘round like shells and stones On the ocean floor Clinking like bones So silently Nobody else can hear their song Singing all night long I lay down and watch the sea ‘Til the sand buries me Soft like feathers I disappear I disappear The sky opens its eyes And lets out its cries For the trees to open their leaves And let them breathe Breathing like lungs So silently Nobody else can hear their song Singing all night long I lay down and watch the sea ‘Til the sand buries me Soft like feathers I breathe I breathe
3.
Reverie 04:25
If I needed more If I needed more I wouldn’t be here anymore Tell me when you want to leave I’ll try to make it easy I’ve been waiting here so long Turn around it’s gone You thought you’d see the sun You thought you’d see her again Tell me when you leave I’ll try to make it easy I’ve been waiting here so long I hear the rain fall

North Ridge 06:07
Thousands of crows Flew over my head And then it got a little darker Like the road ahead They came in like rolling thunder From above the shore They covered the sky ‘Til I couldn’t see my hands anymore I’ve never seen so many skies cry So I went inside Before it got colder After all it was The end of November I turned on the warm water Let it run down my body Like the hands of a lover And it felt like the summertime
6.
Premonition 03:46
My eyes close slow To the blues of the rain Raindrop diamonds magnify Even the smallest of pains Shadows drape on me like vines While I try to hold the sky Falling from my mind Like all that I’ve cried I gather all my flowers And wait for a sign But I am told that nothing comes as easy As the rising sun I try to read the future In the palms of your hands Why can’t anybody tell me What I can’t understand I gather all my flowers And wait for a sign But I am told that nothing comes as easy As the rising sun

Turquoise 02:05

What’s my place here I don’t know How many years here I don’t know It’s all the same But you’re not You hold no place in my dreams Tell me why the birds don’t fly Tell me what’s been going on in your mind It’s been so long I’m older now I’m so far away from everyone And I don’t know what it is About people that makes me cry It’s gotten harder to stay and say To all of those who wait That things are never this way That things have never been this way I’m older now I’m so far away from everyone And I don’t know what it is About people that makes me cry
