The concrete skies hang heavy Over power lines, and railway bridges And flyovers, and orange streetlights And warehouse rooves, and factory units But, don't worry About me, or my sister We're out late tonight We're out late tonight   We're sitting in the dark On the banks of the old canal Watching the stars, reflect on the water If you want to find us We're just waiting here For something to happen We'll be late tonight   We'll be late tonight Just me and my sister We're out late tonight   I love my sister And she loves me too But, if you want to find us Please don't worry We've…

I used to stand in your garden And watch the clouds of summertime rain In the distance over haybarns and cornfields I wonder do you remember my name   Through the silence you could see out past the telegraph lines As the lightning in sheets crossed the skies I could see the wild flowers growing in the meadows And the trees swaying in the breeze   The air in the evening was like rosewater And we'd watch as the thunder clouds rolled Never new it then but we were just starting We would never see those days come again   Everybody needs an angel And everybody's got a devil by their…

Today I've been talking to A crow Down by the old tin mine He's been telling me Of all the shiny things He found yesterday In the stream   I talk to the birds And I talk to the trees I talk to the flowers I talk to the streams   The crow He told me many things And of a polished stone The colour of fallen leaves He said if you have an honest heart It is a magic stone Upon it's surface the future will be revealed   I talk to the birds I talk to the trees Won't you please stop the voices Won't you please take me…

If I could live my life again I wonder which nightmare, I'd do differently this time Would I take her hand and never let it go Or would I watch her smiling back at me Forever from an album photo   If I could live my life again Would I lie awake thinking of someone else's touch Or would I listen to your breathing as you sleep Or would I shiver with the dawn sitting in an empty room   Let me carry you my love Across the oceans of your dreams I will take you to my secret place Let me show you to the margins of the world We…

I saw her reflection in a window When I turned, she was gone The rooftops and the deadbrick stretch for miles and miles Someday all of this will come down   And the people walking by Look just like ghosts   I passed a row of empty houses And a line of trees made of bone She held me for a moment in her watery eyes But the demon in me never sleeps   My dreams are filled with open fields and rivers And she stands within a veil of autumn mist These office blocks and shops don't mean a thing to me One day all of this will be gone…

I'm standing on this bridge Looking down Into the waters A million insect wings Are beating Beating in my head   But still these river waters Run deep Those crystal cool cool waters Run deep   Keep this cancerous sun Out of my eyes Keep it from my skin The stillness of the air Disarms me It strips me bare   But still these river waters run deep Those crystal cool cool waters run deep   The days grow long The days are growing long The days grow longer still Shade me from your sun Shade me from your sun   Words by Mark from "Cactus Farming At The Ends Of…

My friend, music is The language of the spirits When birds sing, do they call to the flowers Or do they call, to the trees, or to the streams?   For man in his understanding, cannot know What the bird is saying Nor what the stream is murmuring   When the ocean Waves crash upon the shore Can man in his understanding know What the rain What the breeze What the flowers know?   Man in his understanding Cannot know What the bird is saying Nor what the stream is murmuring   In your depths We deposit all our hearts All our soul   The spirits taught us to see with…
