Lyrics

ECHO CHAMBER
there’s an echo chamber inside my head
where I live my life again and again
when I’m feeling brave I step inside
and I face where things fell out of place
do you really want to hear it
do you really want to know
are you ready now to feel it
can you really let it go, again
there’s an echo chamber inside my head
where I live my life again and again
when I’m feeling brave I step inside
and I face where things went all astray
do you really want to hear it
do you really want to know
are you ready now to feel it
can you really let it go, again
the wound is real
it’s woven into me
i feel it here
the deepest part of me
beneath the dust
what i don’t want to see
i brace myself
and face my history

HIGHER
I am folding myself
collapsing and drawn
my heart is heavy and still
the color is gone
you are the bellows
reviving the fire
moving slowly
you put your mouth to mine
the tops of the trees
your love lifts me higher
the warm summer breeze
your love lifts me higher and higher
above the big town
your love lifts me higher
right up through the clouds
your love lifts me higher and higher
you kiss me so tender
I’m breathing you in
feel it burn like the embers
we torch the firmament
you are the bellows
reviving the fire
moving slowly
you put your mouth to mine
the tops of the trees
your love lifts me higher
the warm summer breeze
your love lifts me higher and higher
above the big town
your love lifts me higher
right up through the clouds
your love lifts me higher and higher

ELECTRIC SKY
i first see you
underneath electric sky
how it shimmers
chandelier against the night
one million shining lights
form your name across the sky
one million shining lights
the only time they all align
when I touch you
bluewhite currents neath your skin
move like tremors
come to shock me back to life again
one million shining lights
form your name across the sky
one million shining lights
the only time they all align
seraph sparks falling down
shower down all around me
I catch them on my tongue
my very own independence day
seraph sparks falling down
and this is all I’ll have of you
I make a secret wish
and watch the cosmos rearrange

SPRINGTIME
in springtime
slowly wake from her slumber
feel her heart
lean toward the light
open like a flower
let the rain fall down
let the season change
feel the seed take hold
i release in faith
see the girl
turning up her palm
to receive what is given
while the sound
of April song
dances on the river
let the rain fall down
let the season change
feel the seed take hold
i release in faith
push me through the phantom pain
of what does not remain
the virgin child emerges from the wound
push me deep into the ground
weave the roots and limbs around
from out the dirt the garden bloom
let the rain fall down
let the season change
feel the seed take hold
i release in faith

TELL TALE
can’t you hear my love for you
pulsing through my veins
it’s growing stronger
getting louder everyday
each time I feel you near my condition is the same
this tell tale heart of mine is giving me away
moving up through the floorboards
rattling through my frame
you set it off a racing when you speak my name
each time I feel you near my condition is the same
this tell tale heart of mine is giving me away
you got me all wound up
you got me all found out

WALKING THE CIRCLE
so hype the way of life
and hype the new religion
won’t even hear me go
i walk this road alone
take me out of the loop where I don’t mean anything
pull me up from the root so I can’t feel anything
from the light to the dark is all I know to be
i live the fine line of my own extremities
now I’m walking the circle
now I’m drifting to the edge
feel the road rise to greet me
lead me into the sunset
now I’m walking the circle
now I’m drifting to the edge
feel the wind rise beneath me
lift me into the sea of red
so this my way of life
it was never my decision
just let the music rise
and touch down on the line
let it come and go till it don’t mean anything
light it up and burn till I can’t feel anything
from the light to the dark is all I’ll ever be
lay me down in the wave of heat that swallows me
now I’m walking the circle
now I’m drifting to the edge
feel the road rise to greet me
lead me into the sunset
now I’m walking the circle
now I’m drifting to the edge
feel the wind rise beneath me
lift me into the sea of red

MUST BE LOVE
some say the world is gonna end
you know I really wouldn’t mind
cause I’ve a taste of paradise
here before my eyes
must be love
must be love
the light unfolds around you
as you walk across the room
don’t need books of poetry
it’s enough to watch you move
must be love
must be love
so slowly unclose me
the walls I’ve built around
one by one expose me
till they all come crashing down
must be love
must be love

ONLY NOW
maybe we exist at once
no beginning and no end
slowed down for the experience
maybe that’s the only way
to have you with me now
and some day it will all make sense
only now my son
only now my love
only now my friend
only now with you
the leaves are turning now
things are changing all around
slowed down by the experience
maybe this is just a dream
the space from you to me
and heaven is the loss of this
only now my son
only now my love
only now my friend
only now with you
you and I we share the same moment
the sacred hour when all is learned
all children of the earth are bound here
from goodness come to good return
you and I we share the same memory
where happiness and youth are heard
I see your beauty in things around me
from loveliness to love return

COME LIVE WITH ME
the shepherd to his lovely nymph
dance of love and life begins
with a song from another time
still I hear his urgent cry
come live with me
come be my love
come live with me
come be my love
the shepherd scans the amber sky
as he awaits the nymph’s reply
he offers up another song
I listen in and sing along
come live with me
come be my love
come live with me
come be my love
I will make thee beds of roses
and a thousand fragrant posies
if these delights thy mind may move
then live with me and be my love
come live with me
come be my love
come live with me
come be my love

FALLING
here comes that dream again
where I’m miles above the sea
the day bold stars are shining
just out of reach
the sky is clear above me
the water calm below
soaring circles round the sun
next thing I know
I’m falling     falling into the sea
falling down down into the icy blue
I’m falling     falling into the sea
crashing down hard into the sea of you
here comes that man again
his eyes the palest blue
I want that I could drink him in
drink in cool
the lulling of the ocean
the depths that lie below
this terror cold emotion
of letting go
I’m falling     falling into the sea
falling down down into the icy blue
I’m falling     falling into the sea
crashing down hard into the sea of you
