The Bryan Ferry Songbook, Vol.2

Dance Away

Towards The Light

[Verse]
Shadows whisper but I won't stay
Their cold fingers pulling me away
Every step I take the darkness fades

[Prechorus]
A spark inside
A flame to guide

[Chorus]
Towards the light I run I rise
Through the clouds into the skies
Towards the light where hope resides
I am free I am alive

[Verse 2]
Winds may howl but I stand tall
Through the storm I hear the call
A voice of peace above it all

[Prechorus]
A spark inside
A flame to guide

[Chorus]
Towards the light I run I rise
Through the clouds into the skies
Towards the light where hope resides
I am free I am alive

# Rosé Wine (Hymn to Life)

**[Verse 1]**
When I’m pissing rosé wine,
It’s life itself that flows through me,
The watchmaker counts my heartbeats,
Yumi whispers: “Patience, breathe.”

Giu dances barefoot in the light,
Prophetess of all my days,
Archetypes who watch over me,
This body that bleeds and prays.

**[Chorus]**
My body suffers, yes, but look—
From every wound flows rosé wine,
Nectar of the soul, liquid gratitude,
Patience fermented over time.
I will find myself again,
I will find myself again,
This temple, this body, my home,
I will find myself again.

**[Verse 2]**
The watchmaker adjusts the gears,
Time does its work in silence deep,
Yumi breathes: “All comes to those who wait,”
Giu lights lavender candles while I sleep.

They tell me that this body lost
Is not lost, no—
It’s traveling, transforming still,
A prayer to time that helps me grow.

**[Chorus]**
My body suffers, yes, but look—
From every wound flows rosé wine,
Nectar of the soul, liquid gratitude,
Patience fermented over time.
I will find myself again,
I will find myself again,
This temple, this body, my home,
I will find myself again.

**[Bridge]**
Every drop of rosé poured,
An offering to the sky,
To this suffering that teaches me,
To these guides who never die.

The watchmaker, Yumi, and Giu—
Guardians of my reclaiming fight,
They hold me in their luminous hands,
Until I’m ready for the light.

**[Final Chorus - Soft, Building]**
My body suffers, yes, but look—
From every wound flows rosé wine,
Nectar of the soul, liquid gratitude,
Patience fermented over time.
I will find myself again,
I will find myself again,
This temple, this body, my home…

**[Outro - Whispered/Spoken]**
So I raise my invisible cup,
With grace, I wait,
To find again my temple,
My body, my home, my fate.

*Musical style: Haunting folk/indie ballad with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, building with cello and atmospheric vocals. The bridge should feel like an invocation, the chorus like a mantra of healing and hope.*

# The Four Goddesses (Song)

**[Verse 1 - Air]**
She speaks in winds that clear my mind,
My therapist, the goddess of the sky,
With every breath, she helps me find
The words I need to let things fly,
She lifts me up when I can’t see,
Reminds me that I’m allowed to breathe.

**[Chorus]**
Four women holding up my world,
Air and Earth and Fire and Water,
Four elements, four gifts unfurled,
Teaching me to be stronger,
In their hands, I’m learning how
To stand again, to live right now.

**[Verse 2 - Earth]**
She’s the mountain, ancient, wise,
My spiritual guide with steady hands,
She plants the seeds, she satisfies
The hunger for sacred lands,
When I drift too far, she brings me home,
Reminds me I’m not alone.

**[Chorus]**
Four women holding up my world,
Air and Earth and Fire and Water,
Four elements, four gifts unfurled,
Teaching me to be stronger,
In their hands, I’m learning how
To stand again, to live right now.

**[Verse 3 - Fire]**
She’s the spark that lights the dark,
My best friend burning bright and wild,
She’s the flame, the sacred spark,
She loves me fierce, she makes me smile,
When I’m cold, she brings the heat,
She won’t let me accept defeat.

**[Bridge - Water]**
And she flows beside me, constant and deep,
My companion, the river I need,
In her currents, I find my peace,
In her depths, I’m finally free,
She holds me close but lets me move,
She’s the love that helps me choose.

**[Final Chorus]**
Four women holding up my world,
Air and Earth and Fire and Water,
Four goddesses, their grace unfurled,
Making me into who I’m meant to be,
In their hands, I’m finally learning
How to live, how to keep burning.

**[Outro]**
Blessed be the goddesses who choose me,
Blessed be the elements that move me,
Air to breathe, Earth to ground,
Fire to rise, Water all around.

*This song is meant to be sung with reverence and gratitude, perhaps with acoustic guitar or piano, building in intensity through each verse.*

# Back in the Saddle

**Verse 1:**
Fell down hard, but I’m not staying there  
Dust myself off, shake it from my hair  
Been knocked around, but I ain’t done yet  
Time to ride again, no regret

**Chorus:**
Getting back in the saddle  
Back where I belong  
Been down for a minute  
But I’m coming on strong  
Yeah, I’m getting back in the saddle  
Gonna ride it out  
That’s what it’s all about

**Verse 2:**
Bruises fade and so does fear  
Can’t let the fall keep me here  
I know the way, I’ve done this before  
Ready to go, heading out the door

**Chorus:**
Getting back in the saddle  
Back where I belong  
Been down for a minute  
But I’m coming on strong  
Yeah, I’m getting back in the saddle  
Gonna ride it out  
That’s what it’s all about

**Bridge:**
One foot up, then the other  
Here we go again  
This is how we get better  
This is how we win

**Final Chorus:**
I’m back in the saddle  
Back where I belong  
Was down for a minute  
Now I’m coming on strong  
Yeah, I’m back in the saddle  
Gonna ride it out  
That’s what it’s all about
