Tie Up The Tides
Said I’ll live by candlelight and make the moon my home Tie up the tides as they rise and as they fall What can I give? What can I hold? Should I even ask these things at all? So I live by candlelight and darn if I know I'm walking down this road alone But watch the earth For a grid will unfold Until I find my golden home I left that world of dreams and entered one anew A planetary truth is born of lightning There's nothing left when you suffocate the hours Spent beyond what time had tried to offer So I live by candlelight and darn if I know I'm walking down this road alone But watch the earth, for a grid will unfold Until I find my golden home There's a ghost making up its mind down into my bones Isn't this what you brought me here for? This parallel of backwards gifts lifts into my eyes Isn't this what I felt the need for? Oh child, you keep living that way, in your own time This feeding back of circles and this loop for which I'm thrown The moon will never keep us from unfolding I'll point my way back home until my fingertips turn blue There is no me and there is no you SongtexteSo I live by candlelight and darn if I know I'm walking down this road alone But watch the earth For a grid will unfold Until I find my golden home Aus Songtexte Mania
