Lyrics:

Autumn sings of  tangerines      
lulls me to an old dream
enriched by the noon’s light 
her eyes rend under my skin

My chest caved in the quake
All through the quiet fallout of fate
Our notebook’s empty spaces
slowly filled with whirling traces

Lost to the war led
By the curls in her head
Breath again into existence
by her bracelets and pendants

Stone after stone
how our castle stood tall
Too close loomed the edge
And the long fall


Like thieves came the night
Days on end without a light
I died there was nothing there
A cold dock, the boatman's fare

Torn where it bleeds the most
Half a shadow half a ghost
This shell the mirror sees
Is it really me?

Like thieves came the night
Days on end without a light
Do the stars still shine above
upholding my right to be loved

Has the devil lost his book
I’m good for every drink i took
I hold your hand, storm your dream
Feel my love, come to me


Across this barren land
a single flower steals the scene
We brought something back 
Beyond all earthly things

And how quickly the sand falls
Down through the hourglass
The shores, such beautiful lies
Too soon the river is passed

stumbled out of this fever dream
On a raft battered by the storm
She showed me we never grow old
She showed me love will keep us warm

And I wrote songs
about her bright quintessence
with all the notes I hear
when listening in her... 
presence

Aika

Nice Dream

Lyrics:

Smith was a sailor, from the day he was born
over a dark raging sea, his skin bare at the storm
slipped the unsober hands, of his peg-legged mother
nearly spend his first night, at Davy Jones Locker

He was not yet fourteen, when his hands took the wheel
steering that double helm, was the best he could feel
salt ran through his veins, taste of rum in his smile
Oh! the puf of the sails, Oh! the ocean so wide

We´ve seen the hollow void and the edge of the sky
The wicked winds of fate let them try try try try
What lurks down below, truly no man can know
the wicked winds of fate let them blow blow blow blow


The song of the siren, calling like treasure
For what lies underwater, there´s no level or measure
From the nest of the crow, so blue is his throne
Let the old gods come forth, and make themselves known

Let us face lighting, and thunder with grin
Hear the crack of the mast, feel the rain in our skin
Let us gamble our lives, in the deep ocean’s dice
Let Death save our souls, if that be the price

Oh I swear upon the waves here my heart shall lie
The wicked winds of fate let them try try try try
What lurks down below, truly no man can know
The wicked winds of fate let them blow blow blow blow

To hear the ropes moaning, under night’s stellar sky
The dance of the deck, as the waves pass us by
The squeak of the mice, the creak of the hull
to be one with the ship, to be the hands of its soul

I spoke of laying anchor, and saw his face frown
He has not once set foot, on safe solid ground
So I take another sip, and I hold my peace
You see alas on sea, every day is a feast

The Sailor

Lyrics:

So many moons
Have passed us by
Beneath this June’s
Warm Summer sky

Nightly Ocean swims
Under bright galaxies
Thousand young whims
Linger in me

Tonight our love transpires
In this dark ocean shore
A theater for our desires
A loving war

The Earth twirls and warps
Our live ascends and drops
Yet for one night we lay
Fool and young this way

When we’re aged and grey
Remind me love
Of this night in June
Below the yellow moon

Night in June

Night In June

Lyrics:

I hung around
the medicine man
Now for days on end

It's dangerous to fly 
so high
In this darkness

She was all 
down to business
Made a compelling argument

Her words were of 
numbing cold
Riving cement


there’s a low humming in my head
there’s a low humming in my head
there’s a low humming in my HEAD

The smoke that sheltered my eyes
 testified
Something was burning inside

The road flew fast under the
headlights
And the purple sky

She took my hand 
And I was defeated by
the smoothness of her thigh

Oh Why would she carry 
a knife 
To a gun fight?

Medicine Man

Lyrics:

She never takes the easy road

Not sure what’s up with that

Shoots out in fast forward mode

Storming out to the stars



Gravity has no pull on her

A love light as air

She burns through the atmosphere

To crash in my backyard



Oh fate showed me a lonely road 

But fate is a  liar

Now I’m aflame

Cause her love is fire



Fire Fire



She ventured deep into the dark

The halls mid my lungs

Her kiss mad like a spark

Eyes Brighter than the sun





The breeze was still

But she had me dead to rights

Dragged me hard up that hill

Waking up the night



When God thought to make her

Those Heavens were a storm

Passion is this endless war

That stirs her more and more



And I tried to break the shackles

But I anticipate her ire

Now every night I am aflame

’Cause her love is Fire



Fire Fire
