Space Mermaid
So we shall learn to breathe under the water
So we shall learn to breathe under the snow
The sky the sky did you hear
How the cat proposed
This Earth is just an experiment
Where gods take no place
Bloody philosopher
I go back home but you’re not there
I go back and what I find
Oooooooooooh a miracle
And I’m not a fool
I learn how to breathe
I can teach you
The impossible things
I close my eyes and walk into
The green nettle sea
It works so fast like a time machine
Takes me back to childhood
When tears are hard as hard as stone
Marble behind my temples
Ooooooooooooooh a marble face
And I’m not a fool
I learn how to breathe
I can teach you
The impossible things
So we shall learn to breathe under the water
So we shall learn to breathe under the snow
Fly oh fly oh yes we can
Make it with just one wing
Everyone has got
Their own technique
But you are floating like a space mermaid
Caressing the broken sky
But you are floating like a space mermaid
Caressing the broken sky
Oooooooooh oh the broken sky
Oooooooooooh oh the broken sky
And I’m not a fool
I learn how to breathe
I can teach you
The impossible things
So we shall learn to breathe under the water
So we shall learn to breathe under the snow
To breathe under the snow
To breathe under the snow
To breathe under the
Earth

Coming Home
Dad I'm coming home
Dad I'm coming home
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
And the trees are falling down
And the house is running off to the fields
Dad you're falling
Who's there to hold you?
Dad you're falling
Who's there to hold you?
When the trees are falling down
And the house is running off to the fields
Like an apple tree
Like a cherry tree
Dancing there in your garden
Oooooooh
Last night I had a dream
I saw a dying wolf
And I kissed its lips
And it turned into the
Bread
BREAD
And when the old wolf bleeds
What you do do with it?
And when the old wolf bleeds
What do you do do with it?
All of the snow's not enough
To cover cover it all
The trees are falling down
And the house is running off to the fields
COMING HOME COMING HOME
COMING HOME COMING HOME
Dad I'm falling
Who's there to hold me?
Dad I'm falling
Who's there to hold me?
When the trees are falling down
And the house is running off to the fields

Wind Sculptures
It takes time to memorize
A face that we love
But I know yours so well
I could paint it blindly in the night sky
Make a sculpture of it
And instead of stone I'd use my own
Heart
I stand on the ocean
I try to walk
What's real and what's not
Can't tell any more
Call me Call me Call me Call me
Call me Call me Call me Call me
What we used to know
Is a snake of a question now
And it enters me
My King
Precarious dangerous
Menacing way
Perilous treacherous
Hazardous game
What we know what we know
Is a snake of a question now
What we know what we know
Is a snake of a question now
I stand on the ocean
I try to walk
What's real and what's not
Can't tell any more
I speak to the wind
As if it's you
I sing to the sea
As if it's you
I fall to the fields
Fall to the fields
Fall to the fields
As if it's you
You
Oh before the trouble comes
Oh before the trouble comes
You gotta call me
Before the trouble comes
Call me before the trouble comes
Call me Call me Call me Call me
Call me Call me Call me Call me
Sleepwalking falling
To the bottom of the sea
Stealing dreams of strangers
Who are no more strangers to me
And if there's an angel
It must have wings
Of the letters
That you wrote to me
Mother

In the Shadow
I stand in the shadow
Of your perfect mind
I dream by the window
Of your shut heart
I break my wings
Against your strong will

Desires
Desires-
Too many desires
Like pit bulls
Bitting on my heels
And the cuckoo cuckoo
Is counting my mistakes
Ooooo Ooooo
I run-
There’s river to my right
I run-
There’s river to my left
I jump
And see if I can swim
Go down
And see if I can live
And the cuckoo cuckoo
Is counting my mistakes
Ooooo Oooooo
Calm down
Calm down
We live
Only when we breathe
Breathe in
Breathe out
And the cuckoo cuckoo
Is counting our years
Oooo Ooooo

Million Years
A mllion million years ago
When I was still a bird
And your hair was jet black
And snow was hip deep
Now you’re the only one I can hold
Now I learn to be free
I recognise the imprints on my heart
Like steps of dinosaurs
Which are so hard to prove
So hard to prove my dear
When no one saw it
Love that visited us
A million years ago
Can I touch
Can I touch
Can I touch
Touch you dear
And all the things that were
A million million years ago
When I was still a bird
Now you’re the only king
Left in this world
Now I learn to let go
Time refuses to obey
Time refuses to be your slave
Can I touch
Can I touch
Can I touch
Touch you dear
And all the things that were
A million years ago
A million years ago
Oh if I touch I will die
Oh if I don’t I will die anyway…
So can I touch
Can I touch
Can I touch
Touch you dear
And all the things that were
A million years ago
A million years
Ago

At night when everyone falls asleep
I sit down and learn to breathe
At night when everyone falls
Asleep

Arctic
You left the house
And you left the sea
It slowly flooded me
Where did you go?
Where did you make your home?
Where did you go my dear?
My tears has turned into the snow
Ad covered those lonesome hills
The trees in the window saw you go
But they didn’t speak to me
Aaaaaa Aaaaaa
I heard you became a goddess now
Of the Arctic sea
And when people make you so angry
You close the gate for fish
Aaaaaaa Aaaaaaa
I dragged my heart like a wounded beast
Upon the frozen sea
And left it there not caring for spring
Which I hope you didn’t see
Believe me I dragged my heart
Believe me like a wounded beast
Believe me upon the frozen sea
Which I hope you didn’t see
Aaaaaa Aaaaaa

Don’t Fall Don’t Break
Sister pine tree how I miss you
Summer’s here but there was no spring
When you’re sad- no one finds you
When you’re sad- your heart’s a bird
How I long for you
How I long for you
Don’t fall don’t break
Don’t fall don’t break
Don’t
Here you are- whispers the wind
On the sea shore amber tears
Plate my braids brother echo
Plate my braids of tears and salt
How I long for you
How I long for you
I forgive I forget
How I long for you
How I long for you
Don’t fall don’t break
Don’t fall don’t break
