about
This is the second single from the forthcoming album by Jo Meares and Anth Dymke.
lyrics
The birds they sing for you
The stream it flows for you
And then no more
She was made of water and glass
It disappeared so fast
I will return
When the light won’t find you
When the stars won't guide you
When your heart beats out a distant song
When the sadness returns
When the heart no longer yearns
When I’m lost yet right beside you
Upon the high wire
The dancing on the fire
Watching the world tumble down
Upon the wildest seas
The stillness and the breeze
The sadness in your eyes brings me home
Between the faded picture
And the wish that gets you
Between the eyes before the dawn
The grass lands are burning
Everyone lost and returning
I saw the windmills once again
I close the blinds
And all the bad signs
I drift away
I will give you one,
I will give you five
I will give you ten thousand reasons to be alive
