I hear your voice ringing against
The window pane and pull the blanket tighter
Around my tired hopes that the next footsteps
Will be yours
I think of all the times
I should have touched your lips and hands
But now it’s clear that I
Didn’t love you enough then
All my dreams and hopes
And shadows and ghosts
Are and ever will be
For you
We cannot promise forever
Because we don’t know what it means
And we don’t want to cheat our love
It’s got its own time and seasons
I hear your voice ringing against
The window pane and pull the blanket tighter
Around my tired hopes that the next footsteps
Will be yours

Oh, Light

Oh, light, where shall I go when you are gone?
What will my fantasies become?
From twisted roots they grew
Grasping high to reach for you.
Oh, light, where shall I go when you are gone?
Oh, love, what will I do when you leave me?
Your heart is careless as the sea.
Adrift on the empty blue
I wish for winds that we once knew.
Oh, love, what will I do when you leave me?
Oh, time, what will you make of my disguise?
Will I see through these very eyes?
Sometimes when I see myself
I swear I’m looking at someone else.
Oh, time, what will you make of my disguise?
Oh, Lord, when will you take me from this world?
When will my spirit be unfurled?
It’s been a long time since
I could rest in innocence.
Oh, Lord, when will you take me from this world?

Whisper of the Moon
02:41
|
|
||
One small prayer on one small night
Can change the course of any life and
Two small eyes can see the light
From the singing moon, still, cold, and bright
I have bent my ear to a thousand tunes
But I’ve never heard a-one like the whisper of the moon
Three small wishes of your own
To dream about and guide you home and
Four small words say it’s alright
To close your eyes, “sweet dreams, sleep tight”
I have bent my ear to a thousand tunes
But I’ve never heard a-one like the whisper of the moon

Little Star

Little star
You’re gonna shine bright and far
And when life is very dark
You’ll be shining, little star
Little bird
You’ll fly high above the world
And string up the stars like they’re pearls
Little bird
Little dream
Your eyes show me everything
That I could ever hope to be
Little dream
Little one
When every day is done
I will promise you all my love
And the moon and the sun, little one

Lyrics:
I don’t want to do anything
Least of all with me
Wait and see if the morning brings
Less passivity
All I can hear is the tick of the clock
Until I can fall back asleep
I want a long, tall, fantastic dream
I don’t want to feel anything
Least of all ennui
If I just had a song to sing
Well that’s almost all I need
Staring the hours down
With a gluttonous disdain
I need a long, tall, fantastic dream
I don’t want to know anything
Keep my senses in chains
We’ll just see what the weather brings
And hope that it rains
To water the dirt into mud
And the mud into being
My long, tall, fantastic dream

Jack's Lullaby
02:47
|
|
||
Sweet blue eyes, sweet dreams tonight
Do not hold the day too tight
Wish upon the brightest star
You will find it’s not that far away
Jack be nimble, Jack be true
Flying like the angels do
I’ll be here to welcome you
Home
Seas and skies of gray and blue
Could not hold my hopes for you
Until the stars fade from the skies
You’ll dream behind those sweet blue eyes
Jack be nimble, Jack be true
Flying like the angels do
I’ll be here to welcome you
Home

Rest Your Head
03:07
|
|
||
Rest your head
Your worries are all gone
And instead
Only dreams belong
Floating on a cloud
You are held up as all your weight comes sinking down
Your eyes and ears let go of all they’ve found
Quiet sleep is all around
