lyrics

Candle flame flickering
Thunder rolls
Thunder flickering
Candle flame thunders and so
When I sing to you
Could you sing through me too?

Let the rain touch me
Let tears fall
The tears on this page
Are tearing a space through which all
The voices I’ve heard
Like timely rain, pour.

Oh bell, bell you have said it so well:
When I speak for others, do I silence them as well?
And if, if I can remember this,
Then the me that speaks, and the place I tell might kiss, silently.

Paving stone shimmering
Sacred world
Concrete crust crushing
The lives that otherwise would unfurl.
Oh sun-trapped sun!
How patient the light.

I hear the jaybird
That colourful crow
With her monochrome bark
To the birch tree my longing does go.
Oh how fickle I am!
Oh magpie, I will learn to love you.

Oh why, why have I been so afraid
To be genuine? What was it that made, made me believe
That there could be anything wrong
With an open heart, or an open hearted song? Singing me …

Oh bell…
