Night Flight - Songs From Across the Water

All The Lovely Notes 2020

You said we are what becomes of the falling skies
But like Kai I still have that glass in my eye
I am over now
Over trying to win against my silent will
It rages still

For I am oversensitive and I am overwhelmed
Caught by fractured fables the tattered poet sells
Seems you are just a passing bird and I the fallen man
Who walks beneath your shadow as you wheel above the land

When I died were you there
My quiet thought my last despair
Was I taken for a cause or do we fall for
Nothing at all

You said killed or saved it's all the same
And in the end you'll still find your peace in your pain
We are over now
Over trying to swim against these foolish tides
That burn in sighs

For I am oversensitive and I am overwhelmed
Caught by fractured fables the tattered poet sells
Seems you are just a passing bird and I the fallen man
Who walks beneath your shadow as you wheel above the land

When I died were you there
My quiet thought my last despair
Did I warn you of the fall or did I say
Nothing at all


Nothing At All (Original)

You lay outside with the bone dogs and the creepers in the dirt
Out of reach to words but those scratched in your skin
Braving the shadows as you sever all your senses
Folded small and wasted like some carrion in the road

Oh, road dog are you sleeping? With your eyelids thin as paper
Should I stay and watch you suffer for a while and then go home 
Are you waiting for that great bird to come down to your shoulder?
But she don’t fly for anyone these days long since the fall

It’s just what you see and what you need are never the same it seems
But no one needs to be that alone

I overheard them saying that they thought you’d be alright
The time you almost made it out your eyes so cold and bright
Was it hard for you accepting you’re someone that doesn’t matter?
As your steps are getting smaller and those eyes are growing dim

It’s just what they see and what you need were never the same it seems
But no one needs to be that alone

But I won’t let you fall. 

It’s just what you see and what you need are never the same it seems
But no one needs to be that alone

It’s just what they see and what you need were never the same it seems
But no one needs to be that alone

It’s just what you see and what you need were never the same it seems
But no one needs to be that alone

Copper Birds
When I am an old old woman Will I watch the ships come in?
Shall I wait alone and silent or will you sit and watch with me?
Watch with me ..

Graceless flightless copper birds are circled in the sky
Cast a stone upon their wings and watch all hope take flight
No one can hurt you if you take no others hand

We must live and die alone
We travelled to the briars caught a rabbit in a trap
You gathered sticks and fire as I broke it's slender back
No one will save you when you're fighting in the night
We must live and die alone

The darkest seed I planted in my heel, 
If he should ask I'd marry him, my dear

Hush now baby don't you cry, Mama sings a lullaby
If you should die before you wake I'll bury you in pearls
No one will love you when you're looking kinda sad
So we live and die alone

The darkest seed I planted in my heel, 
If he should ask I'd marry him, my dear

Weight the sky with copper birds
Weight the sky with copper birds

I Have Learned (Original)

A piece written in the quiet and calm of the early hours. Born out of the frustration and anguish of sleep deprivation. This is a slow and pensive piece with many rises and falls. The last fall is, to sleep. 

Speakers or headphones recommended.
