Fool's Spring 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Fool’s Spring - Ice has thawed- River is flowing Mist has cleared- Young buds are showing Still a seed of doubt will linger in your mind Sun again- Can enter the forest Winter’s spent- But you wouldn’t know it It can take a while to leave this world behind Wish I could show you How do you prove to someone it’s the real thing? An offering Freyja is calling you Birds they adore this part & can’t help themselves but sing Clock winds forward You turn inward Ice has thawed- River is flowing Mist has cleared- Young buds are showing If you’d only rub the twilight from your eyes If I could just show you How do you prove to someone they’re short circuiting? What’s happening Clock winds forward You turn inward Wish I could show you How do you prove to someone it’s the real thing? The birds they adore this part & can’t help themselves but sing How do you prove to someone they’re short circuiting? What if the birds they’re just programmed that way to sing? What’s happening Is no fool’s spring.

Medicine 01:40
lyrics

Medicine - Hot-flush Head-cold Bed-bound Choked-up Gone fishing Checked-out Give me that long-lasting Far-reaching medicine For my mind Some of that high-flying Deep-kneading medicine Responds in kind Dark-thoughts Spirit-lost Just a bad dream.

Turning Leaves 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Turning Leaves - You’re wading much deeper than ever before Looks ever so cold where the light won’t reach She said what of the soul when the body dies? Picture the space of a room when the walls come down I went out of body, I swam beyond time I visited mother on the sea bed With every stride sprang up flowers in bloom Which swiftly departed with each passing step I sat through a concert & here’s what I saw One fragile creature at war with itself I felt all that ails you & all you are Is only one move in the great cosmic dance I felt every ring on every tree How everything’s orbiting everything To go somewhere new you must be somewhere first Isn’t it all just turning leaves? She said what of the soul when the body dies? Picture the space of a room when the walls come down.

Halima 06:01
lyrics

Halima - Poor you Where’ve you gone tonight? I brood On all the things you said & out of view - Somewhere in the bay Brews something blue A prelude to a storm Evening fell Light dwindled ‘neath the clouds Soon overhead Wind it shook the ferns Once green now red Taking to the sky A heron fled & someone whispered - How do you not recognise me? Save my eyes Take back what you see There’s a dæmon clawing out Weighing on me You asked if anger flusters me? Outside Halima rippled through the fields I eyed the arrows on the screen My mind reciting ‘red weather warning’ They upped your dose on sertraline Meanwhile Halima rippled through the fields You had another trippy dream That night recalling ‘red weather warning’ You went red giant I went clean It’s blowing out there something mean See peace scorns violence & violence, peace Now go on upstairs get some sleep You were dosed up, darling On sertraline Too far gone to hear the hissing trees See peace scorns violence & violence, peace Now go on upstairs get some sleep.

Dahlia Nights 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Dahlia Nights- Watch me, waltz me Heat the pin and stab it in For tonight we dance with the dead Taste me, taunt me Prop me up with puppetry There’s a line & I’m willing to cross Who says love’s blind ? We’re deep in the throes of dahlia nights Here’s some advice - Don’t ever fuck with the fabric of time I see it now- The hole in you All vantablack & I leap through.

Sleeping Ships 05:38
lyrics
buy track
Sleeping Ships- Out of her mouth and into the breeze It got away Holly I know it's early days Early days The tides are low and skies limbo A sea of age The wind in her hair, whole world in my arms Early days Throw caution to the winds they howl, the winds they howl And whisper you fool My heart it lies with sleeping ships & sunken jewels An arm for a leg, an eye for an eye The curse will rise Out from the deep To lay your heart with sleeping ships Could set her free You have wooden arms and a splintered heart How fisher folklore fell apart In those flooded eyes, if pearls could cry It's beauty spawn by hell's own fires. & from the land I shake and cower At every soul that you devoured & amid chaos, how I am lost & haunted by those mermaid locks & those demon horns and feathered wings Through crashing waves the sirens sing.

Huntsmen 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Huntsmen - A burrow away is a home We claim these woods as our own Such is the way Come dark & day Such is the way of the woods Many do pass through our home Shouldering animal bones Such is the way We are the prey Such is the way of the woods today All the white harts are mounted & dead Now the huntsmen are after my head.

Love & War 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Love & War - Make a wish -Death wish Not for want of trying No qualms These are the games that we play Us at the end of the world Share a kiss -Death’s kiss Raise the alarm Napalm Won’t make a canoe out of me Always the same, love & war Love & war So out of the blue I’m lost without you Without you Now I see you & I Aren’t so unalike Not for want of trying Love & war, love & war You never were one to go down without a fight So out of the blue.

Hokusaian Wave - There’s a town A borderline utopia that’s tilting Batten down The likes of which is promised to the sea A painted ship on a painted ocean The last look at love as you wave goodbye Would-be-widowers flood with emotion She’ll join you on the other side & in the offing A Hokusaian wave Namaste Ninth wave, ninth wave Namaste Just give me something I’m getting nothing I bow I bow, ninth- -Wave Ninth wave Great Hokusaiain wave & just for a moment I pitied the ocean I bow, I bow down.
