Wolves 04:16
I was happy to hear from you You said I'm like ice, I endure the advice Unable to open, but crying inside But there are wolves, they won't let me fall in love, prowling my heart You were chasing shadows I'm hidden inside the walls of a smile I'd like to slice the walls of a smile Trust me I tried But there are wolves, they won't let me fall in love, prowling my heart Clutching at shadows Clutching at the moon Clutching at starlight The distance is beautiful
2.
Halley 04:11
You shook my soul as Halley struck the sky, You said it was the last time for your life The pale little trail wouldn't know you're missing the next time it arrives I held your hand maybe a little too tight See I was young then and I thought a wish could rewrite The patterns of life, set the grim parts glowing We'll all stay frozen in time But we'll be back one day, with you a little more grey I'll leave one arm spare for my own 'little bear' And we'll gaze a while until the lights leave You said it's been there for millions of years I was already small but I felt myself shrink The rain chose to pour and we went in slowly You waved goodbye
3.
You are the calmest wave that I've ever known, you are the calmest wave When you stop coming into shore, nobody knows but I'll be on way My mood moves like the tide A storm that builds inside of me And if you ever vanish off the map, nobody knows but I'll be on my way Hibernate til I'm on form again, the world can wait another year Hibernate til I'm ok again, the tidal waves can't follow me here So i came here to the island, I braved the stormy seas The air is clean and it's silent, far from such tragedies The sun sets better than a painting, it calms my eyes with ease But it's the saddest skiy that I've ever seen
4.
Elegy 03:55
Take away my gun, haul it out They can find me, I know I'm done Take away my pride, a paper thin hide a worn disguise When they find me, I won't run I'll fall down on your shoulders, on your shoulders We will crawl out, leave disaster, into darkness Let me go, into sleep my eyelids close The roaring and the thunder, my only living foes I lie here still, restlessly but silently it's all sure to end But when
5.
My heart is a fortress, a city hard to please And she told me that paintings, they could bring me to my knees Now she's somewhere in Florence and I'm stuck here in London Another summer My love was a painter, an artist from within But I was a dreamer and I wanted everything Now she's somewhere in Florence and I'm stuck here in London Another summer When the weight of the world falls in your lap What can you do but run from that? I cradled my songs, my precious time A king from myself not a next-in-line How could I have what I still am? So young and so frightened, how it changes everything You know love, it changes everything
