Shining Eyes 03:41
Look into my eyes They’re ocean-wide See my hands up high Pointing at the sky Lets turn on the lanterns and the lights Lets not be passing ships in the night We’ve got to try with all our might To push the waves back into the tide Will you believe my heart is unconcealed Will you come out with me to the playing field Can you see how my eyes are shining My arms stretched out, come with me, try this Lets fill this dead air with our singing I feel like dancing as if we had wings Failing isn’t written in the nautical charts The fogs of the night have escaped our hearts Look into my eyes They’re ocean-wide See my hands up high Pointing at the sky

Sand 03:04
Meant to be All as planned Blonde corridor Light and sand It was me Black straw hat Sticks and smokes Authority Playing drums Clarinet Father and son In the room Picture of you To confirm Picture now See you again In the basement Dreaming in fear Horror movies In the attic Her awkward smile Her tall walk What she doing How she talks

We lived in bareness A bareness we wanted We lived a black and white film We lived every single reel We had to be blunt To be magnificent We thieved and we lifted Stuffed our heads with what we were gifted We posed I in “Paris Belongs To Us” You perhaps in “Flaming Creatures” We rose To be romantics and dilettantes, Vigilantes and militants Take the yesterday and familiar Make it celebrate, make it peculiar Turn around look around This is our town, our town Your pay was a pittance Silence only intermittent But we were the heads of our states The king and queen of spades We followed the noise The dancers and the costumed boys Our signposts shining bright Pointing signals in an empty night I met you by the bowling lane I was looking for a brand new name You were looking for a new colour of hair Both looking to trade in our fortune’s share Take the yesterday and familiar Make it celebrate, make it peculiar Turn around look around This is our town, our town

Blue Water 04:20
You look like Aurelien’s brother The one who lost his life through murder Under two moons one fateful encounter Under two moons forever ever after You look like the little lost prince Over his heart folding his hands I can see you with my eyes closed You’re at sea and I see you letting go You know you look peaceful Floating the ocean of a crescent moon No one coming through the halls for you With candles in their hands, you can be sure You look like you kissed life goodbye Holding your breath, closing your eyes You’re biting your lip in the fading light It’s 1815, 4:30 at night You look so goddamn pretty The guiding light makes you look sleepy When the moon dips, she will take you quickly Tell me, when you’re gone will you think of me? Blue water It’s the light on your face It’s the light of your grace Blue water Let go of your dreaming Let go of your being

Show me your hands Show me what you banned Open up your palms One by one You lured this tiny start With the hopeful sounds of your guitar I was hung up on what you fed me On whatever love you promised me There’s a star circling your sphere A star calling out “I’m here” But you turn the other way Turning over night and day Show me your hands Show me what you banned Open up your palms One by one It’s high time to write songs again Find the knocking pulse within my veins It’s high time to stop spinning Ground my feet, it’s time to start winning
