Forever

heaven is forever
you’re waiting for the light
but i am only dreaming
a low cloud passing by
I’m not scared
I’m not here for now
i can see your shadow
fade into the night
and as i float up to you
the sun is in my eyes
I’m not scared
I’m not here for now

Night Palace
03:54
|

in the evening
i wait around
to hear from you
human voices
outside the house
it gets so dark
i wanna hear you say
this must be the place
where i am still awake
as i wait for the light again
the clouds are coming in
To my palaces
on the water
you’re swimming in
a darker blue
and I couldn't see you
when driving past
your house at night

i thought i saw you in the lake
letting the water touch my face
another dream of you
walking through the streets
of a new city
when i was almost 25
i couldn’t wait to get outside
the light above the house
flickering like fires
in the evening
another song about the way
you laid your body on the waves
i could not see your face
underneath the water
on the island
i heard your voice inside the room
calling out your name to you
The blood upon the blade
shines under the dawning
of the morning

you’re underwater
you’re under this cloud
I see your shadow
in the house
a gate of light
in the morning I lay
with the sun against my face
in the dream there is almost
no oblivion
you’re underwater
you’re speaking in tongues
I heard you singing
on the sea
the listening wind

Black Pathfinder
04:00
|
|||
you were in the garden
i was in the air
think about forever
waiting for you there
as the tide’s coming in
listen to the voices
floating on a new wind
You were on the mountain
I was in the glow
take another picture
of my shadow
fire on the ocean
cloud over the island
underneath a new sun

Foreign Body
03:08
|
|||
taking off my shirt
standing in the yard
a wind inside my heart
the body seldom casts
an arrow in the sun
a light upon my face
january ghost
in a time and place
lifting up my voice
nothing left to say
disappearing world
water underneath
letting days go by
falling back asleep

Crystal Gardens
02:46
|
|||
i know the fire’s in the house
with waves coming out of your mouth
i see the light is everywhere
the sun rising like your voices
in the air
i heard the song inside the room
the clouds coming in around you
there is a place where I am from
the gardens are glowing
underneath the sun
your waves came down

In The House
03:00
|
|||
forest aflame
blood on the blade
there’s light outside the window
the shadows cast no shade
i’m in the house
the open palm
before the mountain
the clouds come in
i can’t see straight
from double vision
forest awakes
light on the lake
some day there’ll be a new year
to recognize this place

Mountain
04:50
|
|||
ferocious ghost
a tower of smoke
look out to the ocean
and let the water cover your hands
all the arrows at night
a heaven for real
i’m only dreaming
forest on fire
remain in the light
high on the mountain
sun in my eyes
i was afraid
of your terrible waves
i can see the smoke again
rising from the sides of your bed
all the arrows at night
you said you won’t leave this place
unfolding your arms
under the weight
you said you don’t mean it this way
blue light of the sun
over my face
you said you won’t leave this place
glowing in the dawn
in actual air
you said you don’t need to stay
the sound of my voice
is over the lake
|
||||
11. |
||||
i was walking past your house
i thought i saw you hanging out
and i wondered what you had been thinking of
i could hear your voice so clear
when you sang a song from off the pier
and i thought about life for another year
