The frost hits me in the eyes
and wakes me these are blury winters and I cannot see I walk into the white light of the snow when the sun comes I break it with my shadow which tales me where I go The frost hits me in the eye and wakes me I am the snow falling down on you I tear up your face with my frost And make you run to somewhere warm When I come I see you get away I burst out about your emptiness The frost hits me in the eye and wakes me these are blury winters and I cannot see 02. Confusion Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
False eyes are staring
disrespectfully and untrue the burden that we are carrying is way too much for me and you Sometimes it is better to lay don't you think? I'm evaporating a veil of smoke is what I am your thoughts will take on their way to grow old and to be certain Sometimes it is better to lay don't you think? 03. The May Song Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
I'm waiting for your hands
to fold around my wrist I'm mellowing in warm grass and the scent of you I've missed And blue is representing the draft in my heart I'm wandering through thin skies and the transparent air I've missed Pale is my face you might want to colour while I breathe I'm following large drops of rain with my eyes on the sight of you I've missed Pale is my face you might want to colour while I breathe 04. The Earth Is My Witness Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Mother earth look at her closely
she looks at her baby and she sighs the slight breathing pause that she takes it builds her and makes her strong She refuses to give her up and we close our eyes Her hands touch the round stomach and feel the kick The eyes that have seen so much cry with the water she starts to rinse her face And refuses to give her up And we close our eyes And you close your eyes 05. New Moon, Different Day Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
I'm at the waterside
my cold feet are numb and I follow my dream I want to cross I want to get inside The clouds make a circle on the soil that I'm on and I trust what surrounds me I want to cross I break the storm through the clouds I'm on the other side I watch time pass and I see, I have to go along with the water that will lead the way and I feel, the rain on my head and the drops hit me one by one I break the storm through the clouds 06. Third Chance Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Fear and sweat, my muscles ache
I smile but it's just a fake I fade away it troubles me, what you're gonna say just a day away and you will be here to stay I wait and I wait and what i really hate is the panic that stops me from breathing my knees hit the floor and I panic more until you open my door 07. Kevin's Telescope Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
His hands hide inside a sleeve
and little feet play with the ground beneath him while up in the sky is where he wants to be Time will fly and the wind plays with him the night will give him its charm While he walks home his head's up in a cloud he feels his pores fill up with fresh air and there is no doubt that one day he will be where the eye of his telescope has already been Night will pass but he's a lot faster no one can do him any harm 08. Nighttime Birds Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Their ways are open
they spread as their wings they want to be certain of a warm surrounding When they fly through the night as beautiful nighttime birds The warm wind picks them up When they fly through the night as beautiful nighttime birds 09. Shrink Music by The Gathering Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
To feel this great urge
to hold and embrace you I slowly dry out I shrink and shrink until I'm gone nothing to make out of me oh what the hell went wrong my heart gets pulled out into your direction it's no use you have forsaken me |
