Water

Oh my heart
the insignificant has arrived
Oh my mind
My thoughts are drowning me dry
The clutter of weighty clouds tend to toss about
the failing sighs are crass sails
I attempt to grapple the smooth and stable ground
to feel so tidy as before
Take me back to the place
Take me back to the safe place
Oh my world
the meaninglessness of life
I won't bother
twisting this rag of red dye
In waves you call me here to feel the sorrow spill
the silent mark of open tides
You hear the crave of the ocean still
Scarlet covers a crimson night
and is
Alive
Take me back to the place
Take me back to the brave place

Here
03:55
|

I do not remember the former things
Nor do I ponder old days gone
Now it will spring forth, something new
Rivers in the desert, the wilderness sings
Unaware am I surprised by this dream
Come forth are the waters of life that you bring
If you're here than I'm here
so close
When I'm far and he's near
I know
Just being here, inside and beside it is so clear
Distance has created the room to close
In the heart of the valley the river flows
Don't be far from me my mountain song
The grey scale alone has darkened tones
But endless colours we can know
My hope in true love remains in my soul
If you're here than I'm here
so close
When I'm far and he's near
I know
Just being here, inside and beside it is so clear
Fear cannot reside in endless love my home
Throughout all of time
perfect love remains my dear here

Alright
03:20
|

High and far above me, you are
Your mind, your thoughts aren't mine, they're yours
and I, I will climb high up to the tree tops
Where you are and you say
It'll all be alright
I will fly in the air that you provide
I will soar upon your wings
I will lie down beside your feet
It's where I'll stay because you say there
It'll all be alright

Still
01:48
|
|||
I'm so hungry for you
No one else has my attention
I'm so thirsty for you
You're the only one who fulfills me
I'm so desperate for you
I don't know what to expect
So I'll wait here, I'll stay still here
In your presence, in your love

About You
04:20
|

I can't wait to wake
to be with you today
to hear your whispers
as the morning breaks
mmmmmmm
I will run to you
into your loving arms
On your chest I lay
To you I sing a song
mmmmmmm
Now all my thoughts
descend like heavy rocks
But deep inside my heart
I hear your knock
mmmmmmm
What are you saying?
What are you doing?
I wanna know because I'm about you
I'm about you, God

Boars
05:08
|

There's a swamp near my home
Infested with boars
And my heart,
so vulnerable to the tusk in their throat
Here inside I am scared
to go out anywhere
Because those nasty creatures, they come around
Try to pierce my soul with their ugly sound
You can't bring me down
no no
I will not lie down
in this stagnant pool
I'm found out and run to hide
Took a chance and sold my pride
I am missed almost kissed
By the sun at its best
Then I tripped into haze
See the dial on his face
Don't think wrong, the heat is gone
Help me lift this tattered song
You can't bring me down
no no
I will not lie down
in this stagnant pool
oh oh oh oh oh oh
you can't bring me down

Glue
04:39
|
|||
A window alone it stays
The clearly full and vacant dark compels
Through windy trees
Blowing hearts
Where are they?
Over there
and over here again
I bet he'll find me dropping tears
But at least the fear has left with wind
and no one stops the break it bends
oooooooooo
Lately sleeping has lost its charm
I rather respond to night's wake wonder
Bending low my mouth is dry
Honey wine descends my jaw
Grace is glue
Your grace is the glue
Keep all my pieces
See my misread lines
Fit me into a new time
ooooooooo
I feel a new time
ooooooooo
Lately sleeping has lost its charm
I rather respond to night's wake wonder
Bending low my mouth is dry
Honey wine descends my jaw
My mind's afloat again
Surely night has more than
achy bones, tired limbs, gnawing hopes
Grace is the glue that sees my lines and keeps all of my pieces

Before Me
05:05
|

You were before me
I was after you
I'm still after you my king
My lover and friend
Holy, holy
Holy God
This is the song from my heart
Unveil in me the things you are
Here I am sitting still
Before my beloved
Overcome by his beauty
I'm lost in his mystery
Holy, holy
Holy God
This is the song from my heart
Unveil in me the things you are
I know I please and trust your eyes
Tell me what you see in mine
