about

Originally appears on 'Silverlode And His Amazing Friends' EP.

lyrics

Can you hear the night outside my love?
The echoes in the troubled distance ---
Chaos in the blackness ---
A requiem for a hungry spirit looking for a home
My hands are cold --- this place is cold
I can’t stop my wretched body shaking
I only have these hands
Please draw the blinds and we will light a candle ---
We will light them all
You catch my gaze and put me away in the pockets of your apron
Hold me like you will never let me go
Brave girl. Turn off the television --- it will do no good
And when we die don’t leave me in another life
Even if the world is awash with water and ice

Can you hear the sea beyond my love?
The waves are filtered through the trees
Weeds creep into my hair
A chorus line for a thirsty sailor listening out for songs
Our hearts are cold --- the world is cold
Can’t stop our ravaged turning souls
We’re only blessed with one heart
Please draw the blinds and we will light a candle ---
A candle for the world
You catch my gaze and set me in flames with the shimmer of your night gown
Stained with salt we will forever go
Brave girl. Turn off the television --- it will do no good
And when we die don’t leave me in another life
Even if it turns out to be a shining paradise

Can you hear the rain outside my love?
I am cold.
