Holy Grail
03:49
|
|||
|
Meandering down into the valley
To find the water source
A stream for me to play in
Dashing across the lily pads
Follow the water home
to soak in
the vibration
of your moving proposal
Drinking from the Holy Grail
The tears of youth
And the sweat from old wives’ tales
Time to take what you’re being given
Take a sip of this potion
My heart has been overflowing
I get lost on the ocean
I feel a change has come
Caressed by the breeze
Breathing new life into my heart; overflowing
With hallowed water blessed by your touch
Swallowed by the spirit of feeling
now revealing
all of my notions
deep within
For five streams flow from your hand
An answer to a wish I never knew that I had
Time to take what you’re being given
Take a sip of this potion
My heart has been overflowing
I get lost on the ocean

Mirror Pool for Two
04:12
|
|||
|
At my core
I sing your name
Now you are here
Seeing eye to eye
Smiling ear to ear
Wreaths of rose and bay
A crowning touch of fate
An intertwined grip
That can comfort and can hurt
A mirror of my overflowing love
Hypnotised
By sapphire eyes
Magnetised
Whirlpools to souvenirs of space and time
Wreaths of rose and bay
A crowning touch of fate
An intertwined grip
That can comfort and can hurt
You're a mirror of my overflowing love
The moon reflects on this mirror pool for two
and I am overpowered
I can't turn away
Now that we have touched
Now that we have loved
We wear crowns of wreaths of rose and bay
A crowning touch of fate
An intertwined grip
That can comfort and can hurt
You're a mirror of my overflowing love

Cheers for the Harvest
02:57
|
|||
|
Grab your garland, honey
the festival is starting
and we will be celebrating
all that we've become
Spilling my wine
making use of this time
Reach out to one another
I'm feeling you without us touching
intoxicated by your spirit
by the circle that we spun
Spilling my wine
(your needs are met by nature)
making use of this time
(cornucopia of pleasure)
Spilling my wine
(your needs are met by nature)
making use of this time
All that's left is to get satisfied by the harvest
I'm spilling my wine
(your needs are met by nature)
making use of this time
(cornucopia of pleasure)
Spilling my wine
(your needs are met by nature)
making use of this time

Glasses Half-Empty
02:43

Last night I couldn't get enough of you
But now I can barely look at you
I expected more than the state of affairs I find myself in
Oh, am I delusional
for wanting a more exciting life?
I couldn't possibly have another
So, I turn my head the other way
There is nothing you could do to make me take one sip of you again
Oh, even on the outskirts
I still seem to get disappointed
Oh, am I delusional
for wanting a more exciting life?
There must be something better somewhere else.
Must be something better somewhere else.
Oh, if only you could try to
live up to my expectations.
Oh, am I delusional
for wanting a more exciting life?

Tears
03:36
|
|||
|
I've lost it all
My wits, my friends, my intuition
I dream of how good I used to have it
I reach back to feel it,
it's so real I could grab it
But you're not around anymore
I'm facing my shadow by force
I welcome the tears to flow
to uncloud what I know
to be able to see the bigger picture
I hide my face
so you can't read my expression
I long for a place of love and satisfaction
A place where I left my human interactions
But I cannot find my way home
My senses have been overthrown
I welcome the tears to flow
to uncloud what I know
to be able to see the bigger picture
I'm locked on the blood below
Disbelief, but even so
I refuse to see the bigger picture
I welcome the tears to flow
to uncloud what I know
to be able to see the bigger picture
All I have left are the memories
of you here with me
and I refuse to see the bigger picture

Oasis of the Heart
04:48
|

|
I bring for you, this gift
memories of love and joy
receive this reconciliation
a nostalgic ploy
Things used to be so much better
before I knew what I know now
You used to shower me with attention
Now I'm passing through what the past will allow
Things used to be so much better
before I knew what I know now
You used to shower me with attention
Now I'm passing through what the past will allow
The scent of flowers emanate
as your hand brushes past
reaching for my inner being
my offer blown in glass
Things used to be so much better
before I knew what I know now
You used to shower me with attention
Now I'm passing through what the past will allow
Things used to be so much better
before I knew what I know now
You used to shower me with attention
Now I'm passing through what the past will allow
Things used to be so much better
You used to shower me with attention
Things used to be so much better
You used to shower me with attention
A bubble of a memory
fragile to the touch
that can stir and vibrate
and send ripples to this heart
Things used to be so much better
before I knew what I know now
You used to shower me with attention
Now I'm passing through what the past will allow
Things used to be so much better
before I knew what I know now
You used to shower me with attention
Now I'm passing through what the past will allow
Things used to be so much better
You used to shower me with attention
Things used to be so much better
Show me how you're gonna make it better

Daydream Escape
02:36
|
|||
|
I'm kept awake
by my desires and my dreams
A way to fill this void
is always out of reach
All I want is anything to help me forget
the promise I made to you
One more, wouldn't hurt
To drown out the voices that are seeping through
Plucking the apple
I follow the exit signs
I'm weak from playing out the scenes
of my fantasies
All I want is anything to help me forget
the promise I made to you
One more, wouldn't hurt
To drown out the voices that are seeping through
This release I've been pouring my heart into
You cannot make give up on
all that I am longing for
All I want is anything to help me forget
the promise I made to you
One more, wouldn't hurt
To drown out the voices that are seeping through
One more, wouldn't hurt
One more, wouldn't hurt
One more, wouldn't hurt
One more, wouldn't hurt

Kissing the Abyss
02:57
|
|||
|
Turning my back on you
leaving it all behind
all that we went through
Building a city to abandon it
Farewell, my dear
I'm headed to faraway places
Different avenues
filled with different faces
What was lost will be found
Make my way to higher ground
Find a vantage point into the abyss
A place to receive my soul's kiss
Have all of my riches it's yours
Got to find the meaning
outside of my walls
Climbing a mountain to get down again
I'm crossing the river
Stumbling to increase the distance
A pilgrimage away
From unloading all of my burdens
What was lost will be found
Make my way to higher ground
Find a vantage point into the abyss
A place to receive my soul's kiss

Wishing Well
03:28
|

|
I have everything my heart desires
and it's written all over my face
read my lips I'm feeling confident
Everything's going my way
I have been dreaming of it all
Didn't know in my lap you would fall
I made a wish and it came true
Tossed a coin in the fountain
that's where it all started
In my wildest dreams
I've seen this play out
and now you're staring me right in the face
Satisfied with reaching this finish line
now all I need is an Ace
Could not stop talking about it
Rewarded for my time, my chalice
I made a wish and it came true
Tossed a coin in the fountain
that's where it all started
I have been blessed by the gods
a kiss on the forehead is what I got
I made a wish and it came true
Tossed a coin in the fountain
that's where it all started
I made a wish and it came true
I made a wish and it came true
Tossed a coin in the fountain
that's where it all started

Double Rainbow
03:41
|
|||
|
Admiring the rain and the rainbow
the land, the harvest and the home
A satisfaction indescribable
A pyramid of ten cups we drink our fill
Twice matter
I drank of the sun and moon compound
This stone that I found
We connect through mercury
but the wheel will turn eternally
and back here is where we'll meet
Completion is perfection
and we are sitting on top of the tree
I found my home
a double rainbow
but we have to get back down eventually
Security
unbreakable
unshakeable
happiness
happiness
Twice matter
I drank of the sun and moon compound
This stone that I found
We connect through mercury
but the wheel will turn eternally
and back here is where we'll meet

A Poem on the Page
03:08

Can you imagine how I feel?
A sensitive matter
Can I whisper it in your ear?
My heart longs to be covered in your fingerprints
My love for you survives every argument
I have a message for you that I wish you would hold dear
I'm made of water
and could bring you to tears
I'm sorry
would you mind if I read you this poem?
It's from the heart
and I truly need you to know
I long to be covered in your fingerprints
My love for you survives every argument
My heart longs to be covered in your fingerprints
My love for you survives every argument

Knight of Cups
03:20
|

|
My darling, I've travelled far and wide
to make you an offer to change the tide,
to kneel before you
your needs tended to
Trekked from the depths of the ocean
to make a grand gesture of devotion
I now cast a shadow on your door
I ride the hippocampus and cause hysteria
yet, I'm the one captivated by you
I sing the charmer's song
In my arms, you belong
Trekked from the depths of the ocean
to make a
grand gesture of devotion
I now cast a shadow
On your door
on your door
on your door
For you, I have
Trekked from the depths of the ocean
to make a grand gesture of devotion
I now cast a shadow on your door
Trekked from the depths of the ocean
to make a grand gesture of devotion
I now cast a shadow on your door

Queen of the Ocean
05:09
|

|
Before you jump in take a deep breath
You have been shadowing the melodies
Feelings, swamping,
flooding your memories
(She has)
Big love
(and)
there is enough for all of you
(She has)
Big love
(and)
there is enough for all of you
Get taken in by the lake, drink it all in
A body of water laid bare, with a mermaid tail fin
Tempted by the tide
My watercoloured intuition
(She has)
Big love
(and)
there is enough for all of you
(She has)
Big love
(and)
there is enough for all of you
To choose intuition over logic
to dive in the chaotic waters of the mother
She holds the conversations beating through your veins
Open to suggestion of the visions on display
(She has)
Big love
(and)
there is enough for all of you
(She has)
Big love
(and)
there is enough for all of you
Big love
there is enough for all of you

Deep-Sea King
03:08
|
|||
|
I see what you're keeping inside and how you are playing it safe
Moving with the tides, drifting away
The king can be an island
but I'm willing to plunge into the depths with you
Confess
You are kicking against destiny
Embrace
The sea of emotions you have for me
An approving hand on your shoulder that is giving you peace of mind
Waiting for the tide to turn but the ebb and flow got you hypnotized
The waves that you are making
are nothing compared to the storms that reside withing
Confess
You are kicking against destiny
Embrace
The sea of emotions you have for me
You mean so much to me
Love is love, you know
A silent intensity
get lost in the throws of love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Confess
You are kicking against destiny
Embrace
The sea of emotions you have for me
You mean so much to me
Love is love, you know
A silent intensity
get lost in the throws of love
