Swing by my dark door Whisper low and come to me now A cigarette smoke trail, circles round My singing, my singing sound You’re my distraction Light and dark forever entwined I’m your reaction To death and dust and the Passing, the passing The passing of time Love me best For time, for all my life The end, the start, my blood my heart Your pain, your touch, your way of love Made me sharp, let me go Like an arrow Come to me gentle Stroke my hair and tell me you’re mine We’re elemental, blood of blood, And power divine Sing to me beautiful Let me love you for the first time Mother and child Can you hear their Singing, their singing sound? Love me best For time, for all my life The end, the start, my blood my heart Your pain, your touch, your way of love Made me sharp, let me go Like an arrow

Harbinger 06:42

Harbinger in the night, come rollin in Brought on the memory of suffering, saying Am I your only love? Am I only one? Once I could sleep so sound within your arms Now I’m tormented by the thought of harm, singing Am I the only one? Am I your only love? Cuz I’ll wait for you darlin then And I’ll stay I’ll stay with you darling then And drive you mad, with my wanting hands I can’t let you go, I need to know Late in the midnight hour, I heard you leave Where do you wander now? You torture me And tho you return so soon, arms open wide I can’t accept your love, I can only cry Am I your only love? Tell me I’m the only one Cuz I’ll wait for you darlin then And I’ll stay I’ll stay with you darling then And drive you mad, with my wanting hands I can’t let you go, I need to know Wait for a minute I’m spinning They said love is forever, so I don’t breath Forever encircling the same thing You can’t heal the wound I keep opening So I won’t stay with you darling then And I won’t wait for you darling then I won’t drive us mad with my wanting hands If I can’t let you be, I’ll set you free

Magnetism 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Energy was flowing through my mind Like endless waves of diamond dust Nobody told me that Memory was clouding up my body Like a blanket on the sun, made of velvet And honesty is like a drug Moving through flesh and blood Touching every atom of my body Like a knife that cuts Oh I got so much to say And I got so much to do But if I gotta keep lying to make it through If I gotta keep trying to make it true I think I otta be silent and still here with You Here with You Magnetism passing through my fingertips To everything I touch, and I see The swirling of the world as it encapsulates Everything I do not know, but I believe And darkness is like a friend Who comes by, and goes away again And lightness is like a hallway that I walk down And never know, where it ends Oh I got so much to say And I got so much to do But if I gotta keep lying to make it through If I gotta keep trying to make it true I think I otta be silent and still here with You Here with You

Best I Ever Had 04:21
lyrics

If you go walking by St Mary’s cathedral Lay down some roses there in the shadow of the steeple You can cry for me then, for all of my sins, and my trespassing But if you smile for me instead, baby don’t you know I’ve been waiting You can open up my doorway again You were the best love that I ever had I can’t deny my friend, you were the best love That I ever had Who can say if I will ever see your face again If in this lifetime or the next our story’s meant to end And I know you’ll have many lovers after me and I may do the same But if fate should shine a light on you and me again, well I won’t look away You can open up my doorway again You were the best love that I ever had I can’t deny my friend, you were the best love That I ever had And I wanna thank you for ever single time I came crying to you, Thinking that if you cried with me too, it would solve the whole damn thing But you took my face in your hands and you laughed, you laughed, well thank you for that You can come into my doorway again You were the best love that I ever had I can’t deny my friend, you were the best love That I ever had

Down to the Docks 06:08
lyrics

Lay for me my white dress Color to my cheeks caress Smell of the summer on you, smell of the summer on you Lay for me a king’s feast Drink with me the wine that bleeds The taste of a poison, the taste of a poison Then I go down to the docks at dawn Nobody sees my face, but they hear my song Don’t know why I feel so free in the dark It’s the only time I speak my heart Can you meet me there by the waterside? Hear how I have stolen, killed and lied And hold me while you can, take my love I go with the night when the sun comes up See me in your photographs Haunted with a gentle laugh A kiss on your lips it tells you A kiss on your lips it tells you Remember me with beauty And think of me as though I sleep Just a moment before you, moment before I go down to the docks at dawn Nobody sees my face, but they hear my song Don’t know why I feel so free in the dark It’s the only time I speak my heart Can you meet me there by the waterside? Hear how I have stolen, killed and lied And hold me while you can, take my love I go with the night when the sun comes up Is there peace in the darkness I’m searching for? Is there peace in the darkness? Peace in my darkness? When I go down to the docks at dawn Nobody sees my face, but they hear my song Don’t know why I feel so free in the dark It’s the only time I speak my heart Can you meet me there by the waterside? Hear how I have stolen, killed and lied And hold me while you can, take my love I go with the light when the sun comes up

What's Best for You 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Deep dreams I wish to you when you lay down to sleep An ocean full of life that you will always have food to eat And light from the heavens, on everything you do But I don’t know, What’s best for you A blanket made of wool that you will never fear the cold A roof over your head, until the day you’re old That no woman that you love, will ever be untrue But I don’t know, What’s best for you Say to me my love, your blessing of A kind understanding Trust that we will know, the time to stay and The time to go Sometimes I ask for glory and sometimes I ask for peace Sometimes I want a baby, sometimes to be released From every attachment, and every single need But I don’t know, What’s best for me Say to me my love, your blessing of A kind understanding Trust that we will know, the time to stay and The time to go Sometimes the road was stony and sometimes the night was dark Sometimes I ran in terror from the person that I loved But who is to say that’s not Exactly what I need? Cuz I don’t know, What’s best for me
