Oceans shape the sides
Touching down in the spaces
Soaking from a warm goodbye
An early rise offers kindly
Tonight I sleep to dream
Of a place that’s calling me
It is always just a dream
Still I cannot forget what I have seen
The crowd’s hard to believe
At their faces I’m looking
But your feet I’m following
In soft steps on a path the way you lead
I don’t want to lose myself
It’s a whisper
It’s a funny thing
We fold like icicles on paper shelves
It’s a pity to appear this way
You’re flying when your foreign eyes
Trace the heights of the city
Steaming
With rocks and clouds we breathe
Violent skies
A shock to my own body
Speech is wild
Alive sacred and sounding
Wild
From across and beyond, oh far beyond
I don’t want to lose myself
It’s a whisper
It’s a funny thing
We fold like icicles on paper shelves
It’s a pity to appear this way
Hold, hold, hold on
I swear I saw it somewhere
Waving, wading, one, two, three, above the wakes that follow
Hold, hold, hold on
I swear I saw it somewhere
Waving, wading, one, two, three, above the wakes that follow
I don’t want to lose myself
Tonight I sleep to dream of a place that’s calling me
It’s a whisper
It is always just a dream
It’s a funny thing
Still I cannot forget what I have seen
We fold like icicles on paper shelves
With rocks and clouds we breathe, a shock to my own body
It’s a pity
Alive sacred and sounding
To appear this way
From across and beyond, oh far beyond
Touching down in the spaces
Soaking from a warm goodbye
An early rise offers kindly
Tonight I sleep to dream
Of a place that’s calling me
It is always just a dream
Still I cannot forget what I have seen
The crowd’s hard to believe
At their faces I’m looking
But your feet I’m following
In soft steps on a path the way you lead
I don’t want to lose myself
It’s a whisper
It’s a funny thing
We fold like icicles on paper shelves
It’s a pity to appear this way
You’re flying when your foreign eyes
Trace the heights of the city
Steaming
With rocks and clouds we breathe

Speech is wild

Wild
From across and beyond, oh far beyond
