lyrics:

Remember how mornings crawled in
From the window
Sounds of church bells and birds 
Filled the air
Caffeine was flowing through my veins
Silently 
You mirrored my stare

Sun took a glance
On the frozen creek
Haze rose up and blurred
Into blue
Should I've been keen on talking?
Are we just 
Passing through?

Try to
Hold on 
Cause one day
Everything
Will go into the light

Hold on
Cause one day
Everything 
Will go into the light

Mountains stood there so quiet
In steady grace
A fiery glow embraced 
All the peaks
Memories spinning in my head
Vanishing
A harmful relief

Remember how mornings crawled in
From the window
Sounds of church bells and birds 
Filled the air
Caffeine was flowing through my veins
Silently 
You mirrored my stare

Try to
Hold on 
Cause one day
Everything
Will go into the light

Hold on
Cause one day
Everything
Will go into the light  

Remember how mornings crawled in
From the window
Sounds of church bells and birds 
Filled the air

"From Afar" is a single release by Man On An Island. This single is the third song of an upcoming EP, which will be released later in 2021.

lyrics:

Stood there on wooden planks
Watching fainting bird silhouettes dance
Soft voices speaking in the grass
While the rain filled up your glass

A lantern's flame
Was whipping in the wind
But never extinguished 
As shadows came crawling in

May the clouds
Darken the northern star
We'll watch these storms
From afar

Stood there on wooden planks
Watching fainting bird silhouettes dance
Soft voices speaking in the grass
While the rain filled up your glass

The lantern's flame
Was whipping in the wind
But never extinguished 
As shadows came crawling in

May the clouds
Darken the northern star
We'll watch these storms
From afar

"Another White Horse" is the fourth single release by Man On An Island in 2021. 

lyrics:

Old constellations 
arose slowly
And spread over 
snowy hilltops with ease
What did we see

Oh, was it just another white horse?
Oh, was it just another white horse?

As forest ghosts 
stared vacantly
They blew through 
the branches of trees
What did we see

Oh, was it just another white horse?
Oh, was it just another white horse?

lyrics:

white lights
made the river shine bright
so I sat down in the grass 
right next to it
wild shadows
were just passing by
so I drank out my coffee 
and blamed the night on it

then I dreamt of
the sunshine in the morning
the sunshine in the evening
all day
then I dreamt of
the sunshine in the morning
the sunshine in the evening
some day

when the moon 
shines on the nightingales wing
there's not much time
left to say a thing
cause tomorrow's closer than you think
cause tomorrow's closer than you think

outside
the world kept turning on
while all people were talking
about some kind of warning
another glass
made the night turn to dawn
while the old visionaries got scared
of the vibrant morning

then I dreamt of
the sunshine in the morning
the sunshine in the evening
all day
then I dreamt of
the sunshine in the morning
the sunshine in the evening
some day

when the moon 
shines on the nightingales wing
there's not much time
left to say a thing
cause tomorrow's closer than you think
cause tomorrow's closer than you think

green, green, green, green grass
green, green, green, green grass

Lyrics:

Out on old town square
Her laughter filled the air
Things that she cursed
Are things I'll learn
Oh glassy eyes
Our view's getting blurred

Feels the same after all these years
Small flames dancing on an old brazier
Through the winding and dark
We'll carry our hearts
Waving goodbyes 
Never teared us apart

Look at all these rooks
Staring black-eyed
At those golden tiled roofs
Neither bones nor blooms
Could reach out
To those golden tiled roofs

Down kampa park we took some walks
Watching dogs hunting dogs
Things that I cursed
should be buried and burned
Heart to heart
our view's getting blurred

Look at all these rooks
Staring black-eyed
At those golden tiled roofs
Neither bones nor blooms
Could reach out
To those golden tiled roofs

"Lavender Skies" is a single release by Man On An Island. This single is the first song of an upcoming EP, which will be released later in 2021.

lyrics:

Pale clouds 
Wild wings 
Wind got your hair curled 
Your shoulders 
Carried burden 
And the weight of the world 

Read poems 
Out loud 
Staring at the sea 
You dreamt 
Dreamt well 
Without finding relief 

But I found 
Lavender skies 
Shining in your pale grey eyes 

Silence came 
And stayed 
In the orbit of this place 
You searched 
Searched well 
Without finding space 

Sang songs 
Out loud 
Staring at the sea 
You dreamt 
Dreamt well 
Without finding relief 

But I found 
Lavender skies 
Shining in your pale grey eyes
