lyrics

It’s the first time, we’d been to a shore
The first time, seen petrels soar,
Seas of mirror made wings sand thick
And us sand light.

I could hear the scream rising in your heart
And rolls of drum rushing from afar,
That music of time rained tears but
Got me not to cry.

The stones stood alone
Telling tales of the temple.
God of the sun played the flute
You dancing in storks’ moves.

Wind rose and sewed
The waves in green and blue.
Hot hearts in freezing cold
Feeling naked like toes.

Make a dive, swim deep
Before the sea burnt by the yellow moon.
Breathe free if we kiss
In this love for so long we’ve never showed.

Time frozen back when it struck,
I see the light on which you rode,
You are still the one who makes my sea brewed.

It’s the first time, we’d been to a shore
The first time, seen petrels soar,
Seas of mirror made wings sand thick
And us sand light.

I could hear the scream rising in your heart
And rolls of drum rushing from afar,
That music of time rained tears but
Got me not to cry.

Night fell before it oozed
Mysteries of old books,
where lovers are never doomed,
If they confide to the oud.

Wind rose and sewed
Your hair in shade and glow.
I found one thing about truth
Beauty’s born in your voodoo.

Make a dive, fall free
Before life gets too heavy to control
Hold tight if we sink
In my arms the abyss’s about to be the home

Time flying ahead when it ends,
We’ll cage the light in which we bloom,
You are always the one who makes my waves move.
