Magic Mirror
01:55
|
|||
|
Magic Mirror shows her beauty.
It never once failed to show her what she wants to see.
It hangs on a wall in an antiques shop like a pond in a golden frame.
No other Mirror is the same.
Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror.
She turned up one day and the pretty face was missing.
The man in the shop said he'd sold it yesterday.
She barged by a kid on the rocking horse which bowed as she slammed the door.
And she ran home crying woe is me! Magic Mirror...

When she wakes from the same old dream she lies there & smiles at the ceiling.
Widened eyes & it takes some time till shes able to shake off the feelings.
She falls in love when shes dreaming with a celestial being and she comes alive when she's sleeping.
Spends the day wishing time away while she relives her evenings of passion.
Cos you see when she falls asleep she secretly meets with her lover.
She falls in love when shes dreaming with a celestial being and she comes alive when she's sleeping.

She's Made of Stars
01:05
|
|||
|
Shes made of stars at least thats what Ive heard. I sit beside her and there are no words. We're in a tree and the wind blows her hair. Closing our eyes we've combined with the air.
See her when the sky's clear and if its full of clouds shes still here.

Passerine Catch the Blue
01:58
|
|||
|
Passerine catch the blue now my eyes are fixed on you. Flaxen day has begun and my fingers reach for the sun.
We both flew in my dream of you but I can't get back again.
Sail around in the gold you're the greatest story I told. I can't see through the dust, you're my favorite thing to discuss.
We once flew in my dream of you but I can't get back again.

Oh My My Butterfly
01:16
|
|||
|
Meadow brown, I lay down and the suns too bright to see. Legs like strings, painted wings, if I ask will you land on me.
Red, White, Gold, you unfold, we could learn a lot from you.
Oh my my butterfly when you're here the sky is blue. When you're here the sky is blue.

Something and Nothing
02:42
|
|||
|
Sitting squinting at the fireside.
Thoughts & feelings with me by my side.
There's the burning feeling on my skin.
But the flame is burning from within.
The Earth devours me, the Sun turns Red
Try to find the words but none are said.
Something clear appears within my mind
I'd been looking but there's nothing to find.

Every Morsel
01:10
|
|||
|
Blink & there's a sunbeam, take a breath & its all a dream. Every morsel has held the sun and so has everything we've done. There's no rhyme or reason, like a changing season. There's no rhyme or reason, like a changing season.

|
The dolls heads on the pavement but she can't find the rest.
Shadows grow on the wall, the tears are starting to fall.
Ahhhh.
The kite follows behind her, it's just the perfect day.
But as she looked to the sky the wind blew dust in her eyes.
Ahhh.

The Gallant Rosanna
02:04
|
|||
|
The Gallant Rosanna is set for the sea, a man in bare feet asks "is there room for me? These snakes are like brothers we want to go south".Then pops a cherry stone out of his mouth. We head for a sky filled with colour & glow & silver waves.
Rosanna had landed at coconut trees, the air filled with spices & peppermint tea. A shaky horizon laid down on the sea, the silver turned gold & the snakes were set free. The scars on his hands were illusions he sees. Now he is free.

The Dreamer Has Gone
02:14
|
|||
|
Are you missing the sunny mornings and the grass on your feet? The magnolia blossom falling every time there's a breeze? Step outside your mind the dreamer is gone when the wind blows. Every feeling & thought expires, then a new one begins. We are one but we're in disguises, we're without & within. Everything around is rising & falling in silence. Step outside your mind the dreamer is gone now it's silent.

Drink the Sun
01:32
|
|||
|
Hey there, Hey there look down at the ground & see your roots. Hey you, Hey you could you hear the branches as they grew? Hey now, Hey now drink the sun from the river that runs through.
