Are you for real?

Are you for real?
How can I be sure?
The first time that I saw you
I could hardly believe my eyes
My heart fluttered when you woke me up inside
Never does a day go by with you
Go by without
Some kind of surprise
Every day new mysteries get revealed
I gotta wonder baby
Are you for real?
When you let down your hair
You're like a wild bouquet
When you caress the bees in bloom
You take my breath away
Never does a day go by with you
Go by without
Some kind of surprise
Every day new secrets get revealed
And so I love you baby
Cause you're unreal, so unreal
Show me the way your dress unfolds in the sunlight
And make me smile
Cause you know that kind of thing
Yeah I love you baby
You're so unreal, so unreal

Magic sense of life
02:35
|

A chance to be free
Creatures of our own design
With you by my side
The world is under our control
And I'm falling in love with you
Are you falling, for me?
(falling in love with you...)
Discharging essence
Every waking moment of my life
I spend in contemplation
Every active movement of my mind
I never asked to be born
And I never want to die
I linger on hopelessly in this
Tragic sense of life
I try to be a good man
And try not to live a lie
I'm falling for you
Are you falling for me?
I linger on hoping in this
Magic Sense of Life
(magic, magic, magic sense of life...)

Flowering

deep in the sleep of ecstasy
glowing among my memories
I wonder what I might find
back in the woods
of revery revery revery every
night I dream
you float in
front of me
you haunt the ghost of my mind
love has conjured thee
a blessing and a grace
oh the image of your face
so luminous and hovering
in space dancing
like a iris in the breeze
looming like the moon seen
through the trees
you bring me to my knees
I tell you it feels real
to get caught up in your spell
sing a song for me
with siren sweet seduction
sing that song for me
with sweetness on your lips
and a rocking in your hips
sweetness of your lips
flowering dancing
like an iris in the breeze
looming like the moon scene
through the trees
you bring me to my knees
and I never want to get up
you make me dream like
I never wanna wake up
flowering...
dream like...
looming like the moon seen
through the trees...
dream like
dream like

I wish
03:34
|

|
I wish that all I had to do was dream
to hear your lovely voice again
and i wish that all I had to do was close my eyes
to make you undisappear
and I wish that all I had to do was sing
to conjure you in my melody
cause I wonder if you can hear me now
and I wonder if you're listening
and I wonder about everything
yeah I'm looking high up above
and open to the great beyond
and I'm reaching for infinity
and I would gladly walk over the oldest mountains
or swim across that endless sea
when I was one you taught me to float on my own
now I finally know what that means
and I wonder if you can see me now
and I wonder if you're looking down
and I wonder about everything
yeah I thank you for the gift of love
and I thank you for the gift of hope
and I thank you most of all for being my mom
but don't worry I got someone here
and you know she's beautiful
and you know she's just like you
and I wonder if you're anywhere
cause it feels like you're everywhere
yeah it feels like you're everything

Dark of heartness
02:59
|
|||
|
Kiss me when I dream
And I'll sleep peacefully
Tender me an offer
You know that I can't refuse you
When you speak
From the seat of your soul
You lead me back from the
Edge of darkness baby to the
Dark of heartness... with your kiss
Yeah I long to hold your words
Suspended in amber
Warm yellow charm
Soothe my read heart
Seized with anger
Everything emerging from your mouth
Sounds like poetry to me
Everything you whisper in my ear
Spirals inward to a sensuous
Singularity
In your voice I hear the
Sound of the universe
Explode in love
And your blood trickles in my veins
It so intoxicates me
What do you see when you
Look to the sky?
Do you see the outline of
Me floating by?
Figured in the clouds
With a smile on
Dissipating anon
And leaving nothing but
Memories for thinking on
Leaving nothing but memories
For thinking on...

Crestfallen angel
03:01

You don't know anymore how to pretend
And these feelings may never end
You could fly higher when
You were quixotic and limitless
But now you feel like a fragment
And you're wings are falling apart
Just remember that every life is a work of art
And I don't want to see you
Crestfallen, angel
When you're in that anxious mood
Beat right down, sad and blue
Bang the drum in rhythm loud
And the pulse will settle down
Emotions aren't meant to be stored inside
Don't let your heart get buried alive
Don't let your heart get buried alive
Cause I don't want to see you
Crestfallen, angel
Yeah beat the drum in rhythm loud
And the pulse will settle down
Don't let your heart get buried alive
Cause I don't want to see you
Crestfallen, angel
I don't want to see you
Crestfallen, angel

Plate techtonics

Come with me on a trip across the mountains to the sea yeah over the great divide that pulls us all apart in plate tectonic destinies everyone I know wants to be free but we're all drifting out of control and we shift into each other in the dark So dream with me through the night until the morning light opens up our eyes to what's been holding us behind for countless years of sleepless nights in the dark looking for the heart And we all wanna look out with the physicists at night through the infrared telescopes to the far side of the galaxy in the dark looking for the heart of the galaxy the dark heart matter of So leave with me on a ship escape this gravity glide to the other side and make a brand new start on the far side of the universe in the dark looking for the heart of the universe the dark heart matter of Cause we all wanna know now the secret that you only learn at the end greeted by the smiling voice of a friend singing welcome to forever forever in the dark in the dark heart matter of

Laughing in the sun
02:11

I don't know how I got to be this way
feel a little bit older every day
threatened by the hand of fate
wondering if it's already too late
but I don't fear what I don't understand
that's just part of learning to be a man
facing up to the twists of fate
there's no lesson learned too late
and there's no way to turn back time
so we must keep moving on
laughing in the sun
like we only just begun
you know that way I feel about you babe
gets a little bit closer and deeper every day
holding hands on the edge of fate
a love like our is never too late
and I don't want to turn back now
with you I'll pull the plow
walk straight in to the mists of fate
with love to celebrate
laughing in the sun
like we only just begun

Twin love fossils
04:32
|
|||
|
I can read the future written in the lines on your face
as the distance of the past becomes engraved
and tearlets fall like flower petals
on your cheeks sun showers turn to rains
and rainy days turn into weeks
and I'm too weak to stop the sun from weeping
I can feel your lips smiling on your lips
when we kiss your betray
your deepest loving grace
emotions always give you away
there will come a day
when you and I are gray
but our love never fades away
you know that our love
will never fade away
and I can hear your heart screaming
when you sleep you lungs sigh
your every hopeful dream
your every question why we're
twin love fossils, you and me
twin love fossils found to be
side by side and stratified
together for forever for eternity
twin love fossils, you and me
together for forever for eternity
twin love fossils twin love fossils twin love fossils
