lyrics

Pool of Leaves

And so at last,
I have reached the centre,
Brought to this strange wode of green...

Brought here by a long red road
Here can I purvey the beauty of this place
In it's entirety...

So I'll bathe in this pool of leaves,
Regressing to that moment,
When the waters filled my lungs
And blood poured out
From my mouth and nose...

Blood and water
My breath was water and blood...

For I went to an Other place
And time
There was no time
Only sleep.

what brought me back?
The force of life itself?
The fight?
The will?
The fear?

Have I really been sleeping there
Ever since?
Caught between the moment of my leaving
And the moment of my return?

Growing inside
While I slept?

Breathe
Just Breathe
Listen
Just Listen

I am

Here and now

In this pool of leaves

She Cries

So you’ve gone and done it all
Did you think you never would?
You stand upon the mountain top
And She Cries
Yes She cries

And do you wish do you wish
You’d never seen
All of the blankets and all of the dreams
And do you wish you’d never took hold of the page
And torn it all away
And She Cries
Yes She cries

For she touched you and you kissed her
Did you think you never could
You lie upon the distant stream
And She Cries
Yes She cries

And do you wish do you wish
You’d never took hold of all her wishes and all of her dreams
And do you wish do you wish
For the pages to be torn,
And the Rain to fall from the Sky?
And She Cries
Yes She cries
