Any Light

I’ve been waiting so long
How I had it all wrong
Never have I seen you
With open eyes
With any light
Any light
Now that I see you
I can renew
My love
My love

Medicine

You came close to the edge as you reached for the door,
The medicine was bitter like nothing you’d tasted before,
And you knew right then.
You said, “I don’t want something already made,
I want the image not on display,
I want to be set free.”
You felt for the words like the wings of a bird,
Riding the winds of a dark form you heard
A voice, speaking low.
It said, “I swim the deep waters,
Dreams are my eyes,
Deeper than blue,”
And drifted from view.
Your eyes opened up like the sky on a plane,
You laughed like a driver disregarding the lanes,
Looking for something, a balancing drug.
You said, “Was it the answer I made out of love?”
Pin down the moment in a child’s game.
They sang you the song that longed to be heard,
Caught in your chest like a fire unburned,
They sang without words.

Uncanny valley
Won’t you tell me if I belong
Tell me if you can
Read the writing on the wall
Why does it say
That we’re all just the same
Have we known it all along
And just looked the other way
Complete the story
Imagining every end
Counting the reasons
We forget that it all depends
On the flowers fading
With the season
And the waves breaking
Oh the feeling
Of an open horizon
Complete silence
Where you can run into you
Or the mind dreaming of a perfect freedom
Not only while you’re sleeping
It’s a zero sum game
By the wrong name
Writing letters to the past
As if you were the same
But I’ve been changed
Now I know it was
A real deficit of belief and of trust
I want to show you better
I know I can show you better
I want to show you better
This time

No Mast

What if I loved you like it couldn’t last
Every day until the very last
What if I loved you like we just crossed paths
Without the usual masks
Without the usual masks
I’m beginning to see
What it means to be free in love
No longer dreaming of
No longer dreaming of
Green grass in the distance no resistance
Another mind to hide inside
A place to exist outside of time
The stars on your dress
As you danced did not possess
The look in your eyes
As you laughed didn’t try
The wind off the sea
As we walked home couldn’t be
Dreamt more perfectly
Dreamt more perfectly
I’m beginning to see
What it means to be free in love
What if I loved you like it couldn’t last
Every day until the very last
What if I loved you like a ship without a mast
Moving slowly through the waters of your past
No mast
No mast

On My Way To You
03:35
|
|||
|
I’ve been following in your footsteps
I’ve been trying to just be
Like a melody you sing
I’ve been dreaming of the day we met
I’ve been trying to show
My love only grows
I stepped outside of its path
Just to watch the way that it flows
Like a river follows the landscape
And so begins to know
Every subtle change
As it undertakes
The meandering
The expanding range
It’s like that my love comes of age
As it resonates
As it excavates
As its rearranged in the shadow games
I’ve been following in your footsteps
I’ve been trying just to be
Like a melody
You sing
That takes a hold of me
With every subtle change
As it undertakes
The meandering
The expanding range
I’ve been walking along your shores
Many days, many moons
Oh the worlds I’ll pass through
On the way to you

Gift
03:33

Make me a gift
In line with the drift
At the edge of the cliff
Where we exist
Make me the space between
This life and a dream
A door opening
To love unforeseen
Make me morning dew
Spread thin where the light comes through
Make me an early moon
First flower to bloom
Make me an arrow true
Pointing somewhere new
I’m going there with you
I’m going there with you
Make me a sudden breeze
Your mind put at ease
The gentle melody
Autumn on its knees
Make me the light
Captured in flight
Between our skin
Where love was born
You said I never felt this way before
Make me your favourite cup
Each night bottoms up
Drink me down like wine
I was never meant to be just mine

To Turn
02:57
|
|||
|
So easy to close
To grow so cold
To feel like stone
To slip into the mold
So I’m watching my grip
No I don’t want to hold
I see the goal
To let go control
I’ll let my cards fold
I’ll take the long way home
Won’t see it half full
Facing my shadow
I’ll turn the sorrow
I’ll turn the sorrow gold
I’ll turn the sorrow
I’ll turn the sorrow gold
I’ll turn the sorrow
I’ll turn the sorrow gold

Ask Directions
02:17
|
|||
|
You open your eyes and you read all the words
Images flood in but what are they worth
When you can’t even try to understand
And you’re standing outside your own plan
You question your mind as it won't seem to rest
Its traffic a pattern that feels like a test
A trail going nowhere fast
And you always forget to ask directions
It's a game that you love to play
And your discipline never fades
Evening it comes and you're all alone
Voices surround you but what can they know
When day after day you change
And nothing you know will remain
Still nothing feels
All that real
Still nothing feels
All that real
And since nothing feels
All that real
I wanted you to know
That I can see a light in you
And it will only grow

Blue
02:21
|

|
Catching light in your palm
The very image
Of the calm waters
That feed into
Oh so blue
Oh so blue
The eyes I’ve made a practice
Staring into
When I first met you
Time was measured
By the moon
On your body
Oh so blue
Oh so blue
The eyes I’ve made a practice
Staring into

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
