Horse of Good Fortune
04:22

horse of good fortune
stands tall between trees
of which branches spiral
into the air and the mud
all become what lies between us
placed within her hand
the reddest gem I had
told her, "I love you"
forever
I know the wind will carry her back
horse of good fortune
God will make me better soon, I'm sure
and I won't drive you far from home, my love
the tireder I get, the angrier he'll be
horse of good fortune lies and waits for me
the lonelier I feel, the lovelier it seems
horse of good fortune lies and waits for me
horse of good fortune, won't you wait for me

Delilah
03:26
|

deep down
deep down
beneath the growth, above the roots
Delilah, some lover,
face all bloodied and beat
she crawls, emerges at my feet
runs from what no other sees
she grabs and whispers harsh to me
"The voice told me it'd keep me warm
it took my blood and it took my love
the stream held me in its cold sharp grasp
running fro' and back to the one who asks
his eyes shine bright and his skin of bark
it wraps around, leaves you calm
sinking in against sap and leaf
I felt its teeth graze against my arms
the birds they flew, frenzied and lost
as the teeth pressed deep into flesh long gone
I closed my eyes and I felt its love
and before me the flies circled and swarmed"

I Felt Sure of the End
03:17
|
|||
I felt sure of the end
the sky opened up
asleep
when the clouds are grey and angry
and my curtains float inward oh so menacingly
the birds' cries become warnings of the end
and the men's faces all shift and fall to the ground
I do it for you
I do it for you
I do it for you
(we wait for you)

And I Want
05:26
|

I've been watching
as your body fades from my view
time's been passing
and your soul is something I can only muse
I've been listening
to the shadows, when they tell me to remember
I will not want
I will not make myself sick
with this longing
and this yearning
I will not want
I will not ask you
for anything, you turn away from me
(she will not speak to me
she will not let me breathe
she only comes out when the moon is waxing
she tries to comfort me
with her fidelity
if only you had the kindness to kill me)
and the girl comes in
and she's asking me
for all the things that I want that I cannot see
and I weep
I weep
and she sits at night
and she tries to read
but the sickness is taking a hold of me
and I want
I want
la la la
I've been waiting
for somebody new to take over my mind
I've been sitting
nice and quiet, hoping you won't mind
she said, "won't you call me soon?
I'd like to speak to you
I've been sat in the house for months
won't you call me soon?
there's things we've yet to do
I've been thinking
and thinking
and thinking
and thinking"

Water / Black Cat
03:57
|
|||
in the water
years pass through you
down to the bed
of a woman
watches out for you
from water
in water
-
black cat come cross against my path
toward rather opposing
within the flower of tenderness
lies what knows

Send Him Away
02:25
|
|||
they've been here
tapping at my window saying
"he'd like to speak to you"
my body's breaking
beauty's waning
little shards of glass
he'd like to speak to you
send him away
I'm breathing in your air
it makes me sick
but I don't care

April sat on the church bench
covered in blisters
from hand to feet
child, come stand before me
harsh is the journey from land to sea
my baby floats away from me
green encompasses, wraps around her knees
take from me my daughter and my life
fair lady bring her back to me
I can give you all and everything
exchange for her my years of sin and strife
girl, playing in shallows
don't run too quick now
don't trip and bleed
stare into the chasm
its voice will follow you
tell you to go see
my baby turns her back to me
Thetis, for me, make her wary
drive her curiosity to die
bring her back to me
my life

taste sea salt again
lick it off my skin
I won't be subject
to your lies
not for much longer
darling take my hand and walk with me
Into the sea
wind is a breath on my back feel the waves at my feet
the rock stands so close yet my legs have grown so tired
it will not get any closer now
( wash off the blood and walk with me into the sea
feel the sting on my body and the waves at my feet )
sweet little angels catch my breath
come now and take me to the end

Song for Eiocha
01:45
|
|||
what is a meadow with no hare
what is a tree without a mare
land meet the sea, and create from foam, she
land meet the sea, under branch of oak tree
my fruit has grown ripe before me
in my white coat, I will become sea

Come, Look Inside
04:19
|

when it sees
it'll break down the door
and eat my body
if you could taste it and swallow the seeds then you would
when the light calls out and asks it to follow, it does
but I know you
I know you
what you know hurts you
it loves you
it'll eat you
frenzied and insatiable
it's only just passed through you
kiss your hands down to the bone
it knows just how to move you
years and years and years
of this love
has shaped my soul and blinded my eyes
and now I only ask to see the Truth
Truth shining down on you
to see the lighthouse, standing lone
the fish that drink sky
and bite turn to silt
so lovingly
