Starlight

From the constellations you came down to me
Through the generations you came down to me
Hello Starlight
The darkness has become so clear
A mountain from a shadow
Now my wishes are so simple
That I can always be there for you
That I can always leave space for you
That I can always love you
That I can always see you
From the constellations you came down to me
Through the generations you came down to me
Mother after mother till you came to be
One after another till you came to me
Forever over and over, forever on
Until forever is over and stars are gone
Mother after mother till you came to be
One after another till you came to me
Throwing out a line beyond what we can see
Throwing out a line into eternity
Hello Starlight
The magnitude has been revealed
A tide pool to an ocean
Now my wishes are so simple
That I can always be there for you
That I can always leave space for you
That I can always love you
That I can always see you
From the constellations you came down to me
Through the generations you came down to me
Mother after mother till you came to be
One after another till you came to me
Forever over and over, forever on
Until forever is over and stars are gone
Mother after mother till you came to be
One after another till you came to me
Oh Star, Oh Starlight

Eliza
03:29

Voices, strong as the trees
Loud as the sea, wild and free
Echoes hang in the air
All I can hear surrounding me
Eliza
Oh Eliza
When you were here, I was happy
Softened the edge I was nursing
I would have gone anywhere you would be
High in a grand, gleaming palace
Tucked in a tent by a cavern
Down on the lake, where you whispered my name
Now the quiet's like a blanket on the hills
Underneath the stars so silent and so still
There was something that you needed me to say
When you have to ask it isn't quite the same
Eliza
Oh Eliza
I saw a life full of wonder
Safe from the night and the thunder
But it seems safe doesn't make it for you
Voices, strong as the trees
Loud as the sea, wild and free
Echoes hang in the air
All I can hear surrounding me

Spooker

All the eyes, the eyes are watching
No one's moving, no one's talking
Stay away, away, away
Don’t take a risk, it's a risk 'cause
I know what you mean
When you say what you don't
On and off the water
You hear the sirens call you down
It feels like fate
In a weak moment
Trying to tighten up your mask
You see my face
I’m unwelcome
But in the middle of the night
You call my name
We are not strangers
I know I spook you it's because
We are the same
There's a time to watch, to gather
There's a time, a time, a time to run
And when you start to doubt yourself
You're done, you're done, you're done 'cause
I know what you'll do
When you say what you won't
On and off the water
You hear the sirens call you down
It feels like fate
In a weak moment
Trying to tighten up your mask
You see my face
I’m unwelcome
But in the middle of the night
You call my name
We are not strangers
I know I spook you it's because
We are the same
We’re not strangers
We are the same

To Turn Away
02:40
|
|||
You want to run fast
But I don't want to
I want to go back
To what we're used to
How can it be so easy
To turn away
To turn away
To give up all the time we could have had together
To give up all the wisdom gathered there
To give up everything familiar
You make it look so easy
To turn away
To turn away
To turn away
You never mind that
The path is thorny
I am the one scratched
I wear the memory

Magic Hour
02:57
|
|||
When the birds call out their secrets
When the light finds a dark spot
The world is passing on a message
Channel it and work it out
Oh I saw what I saw
At magic hour
By nightfall, by nightfall
My faith had soured
Day was done, I went to find them
Throwing all the rest aside
Conjuring a chance to capture
Telling movements in their eyes
I doubt, I doubt and I believe
I hope, I hope and I concede
It cycles through, pulls me in two
I'm in two minds
Oh I saw what I saw
At magic hour
By nightfall, by nightfall
My faith had soured
Can I trust? I don't know.
Can I try? I will.
Even if I never
If I can never know the truth
If I can never know the truth
If I can never know the truth
Try to live with the question

Our Job Is to Love
03:36
|

I saw her making shapes
Flinging herself across the ground
A thing I wouldn't do
If anybody was around
Sink a stake down
Make a defense
To act with an assurance
That I don't feel inside myself
Cause I see every face here
Feel like they know the things I fear
Bundled up in illusions
They're so thin you'd see right through them
And the edges are creeping
All the secrets I'm not keeping
But our job is to love when
It's so easy to pass judgement
A thought went through my mind
Surfacing just as she left
That you could live a life
And know it wasn't for yourself
Cause I see every face here
Feel like they know the things I fear
Bundled up in illusions
They're so thin you'd see right through them
And the edges are creeping
All the secrets I'm not keeping
But our job is to love when
It's so easy to pass judgement

Leave It Lying
02:55
|
|||
Every path is laid out to trace
Even all the ones that were erased
Seeking certainty, never sure
Is there such a thing anymore?
I thought so
But it all feels the same now
Crawling on the ground to catch the details
Am I missing something in the large scale?
Would you still tell me tell me
If it would hurt me hurt me?
Would you still tell me tell me
If it would hurt me hurt me?
Would that change your mind?
Would you still tell me tell me
If it would help me help me?
Would you still tell me tell me
If it would help me help me?
Would you draw that line?
Wanting makes it easy to be deceived
Can't always depend on what you see
You should leave it lying, leave it lying, leave it lying …
Pull strength from the air, hold it there
Push on every day, wake up and wait
Answers that will not satisfy
Tempted to believe in the lie
See it shining
Better to leave it lying

Just See You
03:25
|
|||
Be still, listen
Stay here, tell me
What you hear
I don't really know you though I try to
Treat you like a puzzle, read the clues
I can dig I won't unearth the purpose
But I feel compelled to see it through
And the road is rimmed with red
I can't keep my eyes ahead
Petals mesmerize
And the white lines blind
I just see you
Eyes opened up wide
Flooded with light or shut tight
I just see you
Been circling around
Something profound
I can't touch I just see you
Clouds shift in the sky, materialize
I just see you
Eyes opened up wide
Flooded with light or shut tight
I just see you
Know I should accept the circumstances
Fight it 'cause it seems there should be answers
Diligently adding up the sums
Hoping I mixed up a place in one
Petals mesmerize
And the white lines blind
Eyes opened up wide
Flooded with light or shut tight
I just see you
Been circling around
Something profound
I can't touch I just see you
Clouds shift in the sky, materialize
I just see you …

Have to Learn
03:03
|
|||
People come wanting
And needing belonging
And hoping for someone
To be there till morning
Be you, I'll be me
Beside you forever
Like paper that's separate
But folded together
If you ask me, I can't give you an answer
I knew nothing that could help me decide
Then you say that my skin smells like roses
Face so close that I can't tell where I end
There are things we don't know
Things we can't be told
Have to learn, but it's slow
Things we don't know
Things we can't be told
We have to learn
You want to me to tell you how much I love you
You should never have to wonder at all
When I smile every day when I see you
In my eyes any time that I see you

In eight years I have aged
But you still look just the same
Leathered skin, purpled hands
Destined to die in this land
Now you're here, be with me
We won’t mind what we don't see
We can share this one day
Before you take off far away
Time goes on and on and on
And it leaves us all behind
All our work, all our love
Rolling into the grind
But not you
No not you
You'll get to see the changes
But in the company of strangers
Run away, run away, run away and say
That you're running towards another day
Made my life, built my home
Though I always wanted more
To the stars, out of reach
A gift you could have given me
But you're here, be with me
We won't mind what we don't see
We can share this one day
Before you take off far away
You go on and on and on
What do you think you'll find?
One day the call will come for you
And you'll live out your time
Yeah you too
Oh you too
You'll get to see the changes
But in the company of strangers
Run away, run away, run away and say
That you're running towards another day
