Crescent Eyes 07:13
lyrics
buy track
"Crescent Eyes" How do you catch the girl with the crescent eyes? How do you tell her amidst a thousand signs? How do you draw your love into the sky? For she sees with the heart and not the eyes How do you catch the girl with the broken smile? How do you say you'll walk with her a mile? Across the bars of her prison cell Into the night you fell How do you save the girl with the crescent eyes? She says would you keep me that I may leave your side How do you catch for her the myriad lights? As she gazes at them through the night How do you touch the girl with the crescent eyes? How do you break the glass of the world of lies? How do you show her what she's truly like? The one that's covered in light Bridge: The one that you see all night She says would you leave me till I'm by your side The one that you hold all night She says would you love me till I leave your side How do you catch the girl with the crescent eyes? How do you tell her amidst a thousand signs? How do you draw your love into the sky? For she sees with the heart and not the eyes

"Edge of the Knife" *You let yourself be cut for me On the edge of the knife And no one else was there with me On the edge of the knife* On the edge of the knife I was walking And you put your feet under mine Repeat * On the edge of the knife I was dancing And you put your feet under mine On the edge of the knife Bridge: The blood that dripped on the path wasn't mine From Gethsemane to Calvary it drew a line On the edge of the knife Repeat * On the edge of the knife I have you known you And you gave your life to cover mine Repeat * On the edge of this life I was standing And you put your feet under mine On the edge of the knife

Airtight Submarine 05:20
lyrics

"Airtight Submarine" Put me in an airtight submarine Coursing through the deep Where waves come crashing and sharks a-splashing And little mermaids weep But I pay no heed as I sail along Flapping metallic wings Onward I go, on Word I go I go to meet my King I run the race to win the prize Disregarding every outward sign When I need the light, You guide me with Your eye And I know that You are nigh And when I've run the race, I will scorn the grave For with You I've died, and in You I'm raised To cast the crown and every renown At the feet of the King of Calvary

Must I... 04:48
lyrics

"Must I..." Must I go to the ends of the earth Just to know it's only you that matter Must I taste all the seasons and their fruits To know they can't satisfy... soul's hunger Must I sleep a thousand nights To know that true rest isn't slumber Must I climb up every hill To see there's really nothing yonder Then right here, right now Let us get to know each other Right here, right now Let me know you, my Lover And all those things that the world seeks after They're only resting on your littlest finger

Slow 05:42

"Slow" The radio played a slow song on a sunny afternoon The lyrics they remind me of a day long ago The smell of summer and soap bubbles in the air Laundry detergent and shampoo in your hair I can tell That it's a love song x2 Slow song that you gave to me x2 The sound of children playing came in through the window Their laughter reminds me of a day long ago When we wanted nothing, nothing much at all It's enough just to see you when the day starts to fall Can't you tell? There's little that matters Can't you tell? You're all that matters And the Slow song that you gave to me x2 The radio played a slow song on a sunny afternoon

"Fallacy" There is no one quite like you In this moment, just like you In the rain, a melody Thinking of our fallacy If you knew who you are to me If you knew what you mean to me You'll walk differently You'll walk differently In the rain, in the rain Can you hear it in the rain? In the rain, a melody In the rain, a fallacy There is no one just like you In this moment, quite like you In the rain, a melody Thinking of our fallacy If you knew who you are to me If you knew what you mean to me You'll walk differently You'll walk differently Bridge: Hold your head high For I am for you Hold your head high For I am by your side In the rain, in the rain I’m with you in the rain In the rain, our melody In the rain, our fallacy In the rain, in the rain Can you see me in the rain? In the midst of the melody Holding you close to me (In the rain, in the rain Can you see me in the rain? Thinking of the melody That you just wrote for me)

about

Every song has a story behind it. Simply put, it is always about a girl and her Lover.

This album was put together over a period of nine months - that's also the time it takes for a baby to grow in the womb. Praise the Lord, who is in the business of growing people. My friend said something a while ago that stayed in my heart:

"Did the caterpillar soup change to legs and wings? How wonderful it will be to fly with my God..."

Over the entire universe, there are whisperings and rumors of a love story, a very old one... about You and me...
