Like Alice

I wonder how long it takes to fall
without looking down
or watching the ground
Moving closer
Rising to meet her
Like Alice
It seems we're falling forever
I wonder if this is as cold, as dark, as empty for you
Is Alice still haunting you?
Do you feel her moving Under skies?
Is she closer now to the ground?
Like Alice
It seems we're falling forever
Said I wouldn't keep you
Still I begged you, I begged you
Stay, we're falling forever

Touch the moon
02:46

Tears slide down your frozen face
Melting you the white queen of ice
Washing your dreams away down the mountain
In a pure snow avalanche
And when the waters freeze
You become an island
I know you're run aground
And you'd like to sleep through it
But time is unforgiving
Rise up and touch the moon
Feel the glory
Push against the waves
Feel the ocean flow
Push your boat out to the horizon
Where the sky touches the sea
Your life, a slow suicide
Berating yourself, outdating yourself
When there's precious time
For this lament and discontent
Would you give up everything you worked so hard for
To lie beneath the snow

Close to the sea

People like me live close to the sea
Waiting for any kind of vessel to sail along
A ship would be fine but a raft or a liner would serve us well
We don't stay long
So give me a reason to stay, to stay
When I get the urge to run
Would you keep your heart warm if I stay, if I stay
Oh please don't let me run
Going out of my mind I've been hoping to find
A missing piece of time
Through air, land and sea
Sometimes I would like to forget
All I've felt, all I've seen
So give me a reason to stay, to stay
When I get the urge to run
Would you keep your heart warm if I stay, if I stay
When I'm too tired to run
Waking all night through
Lately I've been imagining life
Here with you, you, you
So give me a reason to stay, to stay
When I get the urge to run
Just keep your heart warm and I'll stay, I'll stay
Please don't let me run

No gold

You lost your will
Don't stay just for me
The path we have chosen now is steep and rough
Will you stay for the journey?
Or is it too hard to bear
To find there is no gold buried here
Just a glint of sun on the earth
In diagonal shade
Beneath the tree that protects you
Fine threads of daylight filter through
Will you keep on believing?
Or is it too hard to bear
To find there is no gold buried here
Just a glint of sun on the earth
We learn something new everyday
And I'm no stranger to uncertainty
But I miss your light
Nothing feels right today
No gold
There is no gold here
I lost the treasure
No gold here
