Afterglow

 

1. Afterglow

Afterglow, afterglow
Afterglow, magic show
shine across the earth tonight,
shimmering over the ocean.

Glow it’s a glow
glow it’s a magic show
gleaming up on the earth so bright,
moving along in slow motion.

River of light
I know the afterglow makes it alright

Wonderland, wonderland
wonderland is at hand
lustre inside this heart of mine,
chasing away the shadows.

Land, wonderland
wonderland is at hand
all abiding under your shine,
revel in all that you disclose.

River of light
I know the afterglow makes it alright

2. Unbound

When the nighttime is falling
I lay down content
And the morrow is calling
Stick to the present

Where my mind is a flowing
Body will follow
Must be some way of knowing

Nothing holds me back now
And I will be standing my ground
Luck will find me somehow
You know that I will be unbound

I want you to be
Out there with me
I need you to be
Unbound with me
I want you to be
Out there with me

And then why do I worry
Odds are with me
I am upon my journey
Untied I will be

I have found what I came for
Why should I concern
Just a taste and I want more
I'm on a good turn

Nothing holds me back now
And I will be standing my ground
Luck will find me somehow
You know that I will be unbound

I want you to be
Out there with me
I need you to be
Unbound with me
I want you to be
Out there with me

Then you bring about
open windows to jump through
over to the other side

3. Stardust

What’s the use of reaching for your heart, when we sail miles apart.
I gave you tomorrow’s useless broken try, to make our world alive.
I’m free from lover’s breathless scream, following me.
Perhaps you could just take one small chance, and see maybe you need me.

I’m the man that stands behind you,
real calm while you prove yourself
Understand that there is someone
waiting, till the curtains close.

Me, I’m a watercolour washing off
into the deepest sea.
Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in light.

I’m the man that stands behind you,
real calm while you prove yourself
Out beyond your claim to freedom, a field wide
I can meet you there.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops,
I lift them and you are born again
Out beyond your claim to freedom, a field wide
I can meet you there.

I’m the man that stands behind you,
real calm while you prove yourself
I will come back here at sunrise,
a lover who waits all night.

4. Here Comes The Wave In

Watching shadows dancing on the wall,
painting you and me before the fall.
Time and fate have left me in this place
and reality is in my face.

Is this it? And just how will I know,
hiding under a blanket of snow.
When tomorrow is another day,
with bright colours over skies of grey.

Somewhere high above the timber line,
must be some way I can redefine.
In this atmosphere of discontent,
leaving all of this without torment.

Break the shackles that have kept me down,
feel the fresh air, have to leave this town.
Moving further out, with both arms spread,
ever higher up the steps ahead.

Here comes the wave in
Let the water even everything
When the morning comes, all this you’ll find behind you.

Whispering to me
Is the wind that blows, and birds that sing
Dry your tears, it’s just something we must go through.

Out with the old and in with the new,
this is something that we have to do.
Through the storm I travel in the night,
find my comfort come the morning light.

Somewhere high above the timber line,
must be some way I can redefine.
In this atmosphere of discontent,
leaving everything without torment.

Here comes the wave in
Let the water even everything
When the morning comes, all this you’ll find behind you.

Whispering to me
Is the wind that blows, and birds that sing
Dry your tears, it’s just something we must go through.

5. Underneath It

Calm is in the air
Leaves are floating by
A trickle here and there
Home to unify

Little headwind
Try to bring me back
and underneath it
underneath it
underneath it
underneath it

The order of the day
Is mend the falling out
And let guilt fade away
Refinement bring about

Then we can begin
Then my heart can beat
and underneath it
underneath it
underneath it
underneath it

All that tumbles down
Things that have gone south
Gone from green to brown
In the word of mouth

A reason why we’re here
Reason can’t be far
and underneath it
underneath it
underneath it
underneath it

Hear the whispers of the restless brook
And while the shadows fall
We can find an answer
Getting closer by the hour
Closer than we have before

6. Nothing

Nothing breaks our wave my love
The coldest nights are out my love
Voice unearthed, a hurtful truth, somewhere in the clouds
So ambiguous, nothing breaks, now

Nothing breaks our wave my love
Nothing breaks our wave my love

7. I Know You Know

Oh! How I need you now
Want you beside me
Oh! How I need you
Alone with a heavy heart
Why can't you see me
Feeling my luck wear thin

Drive away with me
Straight into the rain
Never coming back again
See the rivers flow
Heading for the ocean
I know that’s where we belong

Meet me up in the light
Now that it’s calling
Sing to a quiet stream
Oh! How I long for light
A light that won’t leave me
Never to go away

And I know you know
Let the ocean bathe me

I know there’s a love star
Shining down on the old house
Nowhere near the tried lines
I know where the keys are
The keys to the old house
Nowhere near the guidelines

8. Dreaming

In an endless spin
and without you leaving
flowing over every cup
if you know you're dreaming
if your worlds are crossing
and, this dark should fall.

Look up to the stars
in the darkness glowing
and when you're out there soaring high
without your body flowing
don't hesitate you're dreaming
after all.

Over fields of green
in the sunlight gleaming
leaving all I know behind
now I know I'm dreaming
I follow every line that leads to you.

9. New Day

Let forgiveness mend the past
Heal our wounded hearts at last
Wait down by the flowing stream
Your return into my dream

Love so pure and ever true
Mends your heart and leads you through
Now a fleeting leave of gloom
As the sunlight fills the room

When the flowers grow
They lift their heads up to the glow
And find a way to make things okay

Line out to the sleeping sun
For a new day has begun
Be it false or be it real
This is what you made me feel

When the flowers grow
They lift their heads up to the glow
That clears the day and makes it okay

When the flowers grow
They lift their heads up to the glow
For me and you the sun will shine through

10. Fennir yfir

Walk along a weary path,
The weather holds the aftermath
Inside his sadness hiding.

Crying to the cliffs aloud
Careless of the hills, it bowed
The heavy wind keeps blowing.

Passing over pathless steps
And pleading on the ground, oh lord!
My soul is in your keeping.

Forward through the frost and snow
Following the northern glow
Inside his pain abiding.
