Every Drop of Moonlight 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Found a book that you inscribed "To my dearest friend and student, I bid you adieu!" Yet you left without a word, Just this token and the mystery Of where you had gone A ship in the night A ship in the night A ship in the Night, hoisting at the sails Drawing truth from dancing points of starshine And if you find yourself Would you let me know? I've poured over Every drop of moonlight Moonlight I dissected word for word Precisely traced each diagram Connected all the dots Yet the mystery still remained Like the tome was just a metaphor For your silhouette For your silhouette For your silhouette For your Silhouette, bold against the sky Guiding with the strength of fair Polaris And if you find yourself Would you let me know? I've poured over every drop of moonlight Moonlight Found the last few pages blank I couldn't help but think To fill them myself Then I drew a breath Closed the book and left Taken by storm Taken by storm Taken by storm Taken by Storm, crashing at my flanks Holding out hope as the compass rose within me Until I find myself Like the waves I'll go Pouring over every drop of moonlight Moonlight Moonlight Moonlight

Weighed Down 03:00

Take it on yourself You don't need Melodramatic simplicity You say God saves And he knows best I would wager he was saving his breath Take it on yourself You don't need Melodramatic simplicity You say God saves And he knows best I would wager he was saving his breath Lord have mercy let me paint the scene Night was heavy like a rusted beam The tower shifted underfoot Kept not a secret from me Lord have mercy could I get some sleep Sun was tipping over Saturn's rings Torching every monument Crumbling cold at my feet Weighed down, weighed down Weighed down, weighed down Take it on yourself You don't need Hyper-poetic dramatizations You say the pen's mightier than the sword Same breath: actions louder than words! Take it on yourself You don't need Melodramatic simplicity You say God saves And he knows best I would wager he was saving his breath Lord have mercy while I shake this dream Light was sweeping every shadow clean The vault of blue swung overhead Drawing me out to the sea Weighed down, weighed down Weighed down, weighed down Take it on yourself! Take it on yourself! Farewell familiarity Falling away from my wings Weighed down, weighed down Weighed down, weighed down

For want of an island made of light I'd brave the perilous pit of the sky Watchsmith, lift your crystal lens on high Feet dragging through the passage of time Oh my, my shy one, would you give me a sign? For lack of any pull, I am your tide Lashing and thrashing at the foot of the spire Watchman, I pray ya hang your lantern high From the zenith like a fountain of light Oh my, my shy one, would you give me a sign? Through the watches, weighing the moon Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Ma Silver-tongued, and sweetly my Luna, singing "over to my way" Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai Ever a fool to play the wise I see there's nothing escaping your ides You're my quarry, baby you're my prize Oh, I couldn't catch ya not to save my life So fresh from the furnace like glowing diamond My, my shy one, would you give me a sign? Through the watches, weighing the moon Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Ma Silver-tongued, and sweetly my Luna, singing "over to my way" Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai Ovah-Tu-Mawai Ovah-Tu-Mawai Ovah-Tu-Mawai Ovah-Tu-Mawai Ovah-Tu-Mawai Through the watches, weighing the moon Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Ma Silver-tongued, and sweetly my Luna, singing "over to my way"

Midnight Moon 03:23

Found myself in A novel night, A shrouded world An empty shore That stretched Forever How I pined for The midnight moon, her crystal eyes Did I divine to shine forever Time will tell you "Let the dark close in and leave you breathless" Time will tell you That the world moves on with or without you I was lost in the Midnight moon, the witching hour Her rising tide could rise forever I came to when The morning came and after then Did I divine there's no forever Time will tell you "Let the dark close in and leave you breathless" Time will tell you That the world moves on with or without That the world moves on with or without That the world moves on with or without That the world moves on with or without you

Normal Seas 04:23

Haven't you seen it The Parthenon streamed with evening Lavender and ivory Come summer's end Ships will come sailing in again Then I hear it all will be the way it was but I'm not holding my breath Fields that were sown in spring Woven of gold and hyacinth blossoming Surely it will be just how you remember it but Don't go holding your breath So bear me to normal seas Soft as an autumn breeze, whistling Some have said it will be exactly the same Be exactly the same Be exactly the same Be exactly the same But I'm not, you're not, we're not Holding our Breath Breath Breath Breath Breath Breath Breath

Bienvenue Please take a seat if you find one Fix both your ears and your eyes on Rubia Marionet Raise up The curtains and bring down the lights Listen as her voice delights, sings "La dee da, da dee da de" Watch her in her gilded cage Alone, but that's okay See how she dances with fire Watch as she enters The lights on her So wonderful She moves You'll love her so Rubia Marionet Sings "La dee da, da dee da de" Don't mind The tangling emerald vines The mantel that shadows the eyes Of Rubia Marionet Soft now For her heart is hung by a thread Her voice flows like silk from her breast Sings "La dee da, da dee da de" Watch her in her gilded cage Alone, but that's okay See how she dances with fire Now don't you go playing with fire You might get lost in the Lights on her So wonderful She moves You'll love her so Rubia Marionet Sings "La dee da, da dee da de" She's glad you came So blow a kiss and wave You're welcome Always welcome All are welcome here With Rubia Marionet Rubia Marionet Rubia Marionet Rubia Marionet sings "La dee da, da dee da de" "La dee da, da dee da de"

Doldrums 04:02

Twisting away from the dream I am listing on the belly of the sea Stretching over the depths Was the dance of the dead Emperor, laborer, the pope and king "You flounder, you've all the latitude Of a downer," spat the king with attitude "Kid, you're nothing but lost, A societal cost, Now be off, I'd rather not be caught dead with you!" We agree this ship's gonna sink Let's take a vote see what everybody thinks Say, kid isn't this living? Just don't rock the boat, man, it's the same one that I'm in! Cursing the sweat upon his brow Only circling, the worker sputtered out "My advice? For your health, Keep your help to yourself" In the drum of the sun he swung around and round Cloudless, not a whisper in the sail Hours countless, the holy man wailed, "Let a thousand more sink, Lord, it's their own doing" And he went on lamenting 'til the sky turned pale We agree this ship's gonna sink Oh, it's gonna sink Let's take a vote see what everybody thinks Say, kid isn't this living? Just don't rock the boat, man it's the same one that I'm in! "Silence! How can you deny the breeze?" Said the tyrant "A little rest is all we need!" But his voice was the lead As he sank into bed And the ship buoyed helpless on the open sea We agree this ship's gonna sink Oh, it's gonna sink Let's take a vote see what everybody thinks What everybody thinks Say, kid isn't this living? Just don't rock the boat, man, just don't rock the boat Said hey kid, isn't this living? Just don't rock the boat man it's the same one that I'm in Over my head With the dance of the dead Emperor, laborer, the pope and king

Cliffs & The Ghost 04:55
lyrics

Washed up dead on the southern isles Twenty-sum-seven not a soul in sight And nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name Washed up dead on the southern isles Another thirty count and not a soul in sight And nobody knows my name to raise a pyre Broke my body to break the wind But the water rose up and the roof came in And from the wreckage Built a shelter on the barren strand And I faced out north and I drew no plans From shells and relics Well I threw my story to the churning tide Let it drown my voice, let it choke my pride Caught a message From a whisper riding on the roar It was thundering over me, over the shoreline And I got the message Washed up dead on the southern isles Twenty-sum-seven not a soul in sight And nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name Washed up dead on the southern isles Another thirty count and not a soul in sight And nobody knows my name to raise a pyre Hope was lying on some northern coast Eyes adrift in the cliffs and the ghost Of a boring baby blue sky Then a glimmer in the swirling sand Like an outline of an outstretched hand Guiding, we began to climb Ooh, so it goes Was it all for nothing? Not all for nothing Not all for nothing Not all for nothing Ooh, let someone know Make something of it Something of it Something of it Something of it Ooh, so it goes Was it all for nothing? Not all for nothing Not all for nothing Not all for nothing Ooh, so it goes Washed up dead on the southern isles Twenty-sum-seven not a soul in sight And nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name Washed up dead on the southern isles Twenty-sum-seven not a soul in sight And nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name

The Breakers 04:53
lyrics

Opalescent Mother Cradled by the Sea I was not a pearl but a Grain of sand you carried Was to be a son A brother and a man Layers of accretion I don’t understand Some could not abide this I could not remain And so I go into the land I am a stranger All my doors are open Swallowed by the sound Two thousand feet above the breakers I am climbing down Take the spoon in hand and Hollow out the womb Love was not forbidden but the Sweetest fruit Wrest me from the garden Sword at back ablaze Heat was rippling off the pavement Came in waves and waves Humming hallelujah Naked to my name Folding all my temporal parts I am remade All my doors are open Swallowed by the sound Two thousand feet above the breakers I am climbing Two thousand feet above the breakers I am climbing Two thousand feet above the breakers I am climbing down
