Lyrics

Oh Sylvia, won’t you stay?

  Your mind is golden 
 And your eyes are jade 
Your smile is a diamond
And your tears are the rain
Your eyes hold the sunrise
And your heart holds the day
Your mind’s full of moonlight
But you’re fading away

Oh Sylvia, won’t you stay?

We met in the summer
And my world was grey
I couldn’t see colour
I was scared of the day
As you spoke the clouds lifted
And I felt myself breathe
My vision was misted
I could finally see

  Oh Sylvia, won’t you stay? 

Under the alder 
You caught my gaze 
Your hands were the ocean
The sea in your veins
We walked to the altar
And we made our escape
We walked to the alder
And left the same day

Oh Sylvia, won’t you stay?

In the days that I loved you
In the days that came
I lost it all for you
We gave it away
I gave you everything you wished for
Still, I remain
Under the alder
Surrounded by grey
Under the alder
Stagnant, insane
Encased in grey 
Sylvia, why won’t you stay?

Sylvia

I wrote Life in Amber on the last bus home from uni as the sun was setting. All the lights inside everyone's homes were orange and glowing through the rain and everyone seemed content from behind the steamy windows of the bus. This track is about that cosy, restful feeling and it's the last track on my debut EP, 'In Amber', which is available on all streaming platforms now! ✨

Lyrics:

It's dusky in the evening 
Headlights coming home 
Heavy air I’m breathing 
Headlights moving slow 

Heavy in the morning 
And early in the day 
Orange lights of evening 
The orange glow in may 

Watching life in amber 
Watching life tonight
Hiding in my slumber 
Hiding in the night
Watching life in amber 
And everything I know 
Orange lights surround me
Revel in their glow

  Watching as the railways
Are bending with my mind
Orange lights of lives
Pass by me as I fly

Heavy in the evening 
And heavier in flight
My heart is wrapped in clover
My mind is my delight   

Watching life in amber
Walking through the night 
Orange glow of streetlights
Illuminates my mind
Watching life in amber 
Watching life tonight
Stuck in mellow wonder
At all the world tonight
☀️

Lyrics:
Buy me a spirit
 And put your arm around mine
I’m lost in quotations
And words so divine
Your cultured pretension
And wonderful eyes
I’m losing my spirit
And I’m lost in my mind

But something strange will resonate as you ricochet around my mind
I’ll believe in fate, I’ll leap in faith, gather hope in any place I find  

Until I know your heat by proximity
Your love by association
And I still see you vividly
As I stumble through my life 
So I’ll live by your memory
And love in approximation
Til I fear the futility
Of keeping you out of my mind  

I’m fuelled by rage  
At what I’ve become
I’m acting my age 
I have to confront 
Your words so inane
And so very few
Now I’m so afraid
Of what I can do

 And something strange will resonate as you ricochet around my mind
I’ll believe in fate, I’ll leap in faith, gather hope in any place I find  

Until I know your heat by proximity
Your love by association
And I still see you vividly
As I stumble through my life
So I’ll live by your memory
And love in approximation
Cause I fear the futility
Of keeping you out of my mind

Vividly

Lyrics:
Underneath the orange lights you start
Whisper of the shadows that you saw
Tell me that I’m sweet like apricots
Tenderly, so tenderly, I stop

And watch my soul yield to you 
As my whole soul leaps to you

Tell me that I’m sweet like apricots
Underneath the willow that I loved
Hold me as I whisper what I want
Tenderly, so tenderly, I stop

And watch my soul yield to you
As my whole soul leaps to you

Whisper I'm like apricots, so sweet
Tell me if I stay I’m yours to keep
I’ll savour misty eyes, don’t favour me
Tenderly and silently, I'll cease

To watch my soul yield to you
As my whole soul leaps to you
And my whole life comes to view 
I promise I’ll watch the world for you
