Lonely Skies - EP - November 30th, 2010

1. Lonely Skies

all eyes, dull smiles
high laughs, small ties
close friend, now gone
so far, so long

i see in through all the windows of your eyes
all the doors that led towards you closing slow
now open up before me lonely skies

life's strength, green days
shining sky, drift away
full moon, great dark
old forest, love's tree

i see in through all the windows of your eyes
all the doors that led towards you closing slow
now open up before me lonely skies

2. So Far Away

i never get to see you
you live so far away
maybe when i'm older
i'll come visit someday
i never get to see you
you live so far away
maybe when i'm rich and famous
i'll come visit someday

i'm walking on soft snow
for the first time in my life
i'm so close to where
i want to be

i've seen you in the sky before
smiling down at me
clouds were floating by
and everything felt free
it's been so many years now
and still i'm over here
waiting for a chance to go
ignoring any fears

i'm walking on soft snow
for the first time in my life
i'm so close to where
i want to be

3. Dimming Desire

hold the strings as you pull me down
i follow as you drown
held by a wire
over your dimming desire

summer's temptation
the sun in my eyes
the sun in my mind
your eyes in mine
mine, the sky and the sea
desire's waves crash over me
summer's temptation
the sun in my eyes
the sun in my mind
your eyes in mine
mine, the sky and the sea
waves of desire crash over me
