| lyrics to the "Mirror" album [Drag City, 1999] Space (1999) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ They told us that space would be our home, and we grew up with that as our goal, and now they say it's Mars, it's soon, our children dream for that to be true. Suncatcher ~~~~~~~~~~ These eyes that look out aren't mine anymore, this waking dream can't hurt me for much more, light that burns brightest, turns the shortest time, you can't have shadows now on the sun. Her gaze is exhausting her beauty complete, every small second I hope [hold?] desperately. Light that etc. Islands ~~~~~~~ These islands once made their trade, by building ships upon the beach, the whole town lived along the harbor, to watch them carve fresh lives out to sea. With winter storms coursing through them, they nurtured fires on through the night, the beacons on the highest clifftops, would tempt in ravaged ships with their light. While bodies lay across the rocks, they salvaged cargo to the shore, the empty hull now in still waters, was a ship they built here the year before. And standing here, these places hide all their times (repeat). Tides ~~~~~ I would've thought that after all this time I could change, but now I find I still feel so afraid at the change of seeing you. I'm sure that you can't remember me you half killed me, my seethrough heart caught your strange beauty will I be free on the tides of this world. Chemicals ~~~~~~~~~ I can't understand the sky today it's all gone blue and it's far away, and we can fall from today and we can feel a different way. There's something that has caught us in its sway it takes us to a dark and distant place, and we can fall. ... The sound has turned to silent tone we can embrace (repeat). The sound has turned. Darkwind ~~~~~~~~ There goes the light a few chimes tonight an echo deep within an echo through the wind. And something goes through your sight and leaves you feeling light and echo ... etc. Winter Song ~~~~~~~~~~~ She walks on the rocks on the shoreline of my mind reflects like a mirror the sunlight on my eyes. How I think of her while I try for life wrapped with cold in these long winter nights. Diving in deep there's a feeling of a reach breaking the surface I hold it endlessly. Now I think. ... Coming down hard on foreign ground we crash shattering without a sound. River ~~~~~ The river leads to my door as we look back to the past we can see every turns it takes a stream that grows into a lake can there be another day as we drift on to the coast how much more will the landscape bring the cliffs approach the land's ending. And time is still now it hangs in the air the future is gone for now the future is gone. We'll stay here forever now we'll stay here for now. Dust ~~~~ She is all that I could need she is all that I can see (repeat) when the night is here with me when the night is all I see (repeat). Follow me (repeat!) Rise ~~~~ Time has gone it rides it rides. We believe that we believe in silence in sound. And see when I walk in there, we are all we can share. (the rest is unintelligible!) Star City ~~~~~~~~~ There's something across the fields a place for lies where once there was everything a desert lies. Our guide has led us here and now I fly for once I have all I need and now I fly. Lyrics copyright Dave Pearce/FSA Transcribed by Michael Stutz <[email protected]>, 24 May 2001 |
