Chamber Door
03:46
|

Chamber door, please hear me
You’re the only one who will
Tell my love I saw him weep
Upon his window sill
Chamber door, he sleeps now
He can’t hear my song, I know
But I have ridden winds to reach him
I beg you, tell him so
And I am here to take him home
I’ve crossed miles o’er the water
So he’d be my own
And I have tread the world on weary feet, alone
So let me take
Take him home
Chamber door I’m sorry
I know I betrayed his heart
Pulled his skin and burned him raw
And forced him to depart
Chamber door he needs me
Though his love I could not hold
But calloused hands have made me wise
And love has made me bold
And I am here to take him home
I’ve crossed miles o’er the water
So he’d be my own
And I have tread the world on weary feet, alone
So let me take
Take him home
Wake up, wake up, she’s here to take you home...
Wake up, wake up, she’s here to take you home…
What’s that sound I know that voice
I think I think that I have been lost
What’s that sound I know that voice
I think I think that I have been lost

Fairy's Lullaby
02:26
|
|||
Sweet little child, safe in bed I
Watch you sleep, I guard your breath
I’ll hold you soon inside my arms
I’ll cradle you close to my breast
Fly away from here
Leave this place behind
Live forever in the seams
Of children’s shadows
And mother’s dreams
I can make you mine
I can make you mine
Dream little angel, spirits call you
Lose yourself in inside our song
Just sink into my melody
And fade away with the dawn
Come away with me
Leave this world behind
Sing in echos in between
Words unspoken
And wisps unseen
I will make you mine
I will make you mine
Sweet little child, safe in bed I
Watch you sleep, I guard your breath

Fly Away My Heart
04:20
|
|||
Fly away my heart
I know you’re scared
Just be brave my heart
No one in this life’s prepared
You have friends my heart
They’ll you to your light
They’ll keep you safe, my heart
Burn bright
So fly away
Away
Oh, fly away
Away
Oh
Time’s no judge my heart
It moves, it’s free
Dreams don’t age my heart
So be
So fly away
Away
Oh, fly away
Away
Oh…..
Come, come home my heart
Remember who you are
Be, be free my heart
And soar
Oh fly away
Away
Oh fly away
Away

Mountain
03:23
|

“Oh, that’s just like you,” she said.
“Finding all the darkness, hiding in the hollows”
“Why not come with me?” she said.
“Dance in colored spotlights, shimmer in the gleam” and I say
Oh make me a mountain
Oh make me a wall
Plant my feet deep in the ground
And let me never fall
“Oh, you fear too well,” he said
“Seeing only darkness, waiting for the sky fall”
“Why not seek the sun?” he said
“Burn like flying lanterns, leave the land behind” and I say
Oh make me a mountain
Oh make me a wall
Plant my feet deep in the ground
And let me never fall
“Oh, I feel so lost,” I said
“Hoping for what’s hopeless, terrified to reach out”
“Why can’t I be brave,” I said
“Walk the night with eyes lit, let my heartlight glow ” and she said
Oh, you are a mountain
Oh you are wall
Let your voice outlast the wind howl
You will never fall
Oh, I am a mountain
Oh I am a wall
Let my voice outlast the wind howl and
I will never fall
I will never fall

Rise
03:31
|
|||
If the snow-soft footprints lead us far from here
And the winter's brush strokes freeze our breath
Will we hunt the warm glow of another hearth?
Will we miss the home that we have left?
Have your satchel ready, have your gaze set far
The horizon's singing to our feet
If we dare to chase the sun and find the spring
The our hearts be full with every beat
Hold on to the river's song
Place your pockets 'round your hand
Place in me all you hope to be
And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise
When my childhood daydreams used to guide my way
When my skin was still softer than bone
I would climb the branches of ambitious trees
I would claim the night sky as my own
Now my skin is thickened and my hands are grown
And my legs know burden in their pace
Yet my heart's still sapling in its need for flight
I still long to find another place
Hold on to the river's song
Place your pockets 'round your hand
Place in me all you hope to be
And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise
So we'll find our hollow in an old oak tree
And we'll carve the heart-wood with our names
Should others follow they can find them here
They will know which way our journey came
Hold on to the river's song
Place your pockets round your hand
I'll place in you all I hope to do
And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise
We will rise, we will rise, we will rise.

Sea Song
02:00
|
|||
My lady calls to me
She calls
She beckons me
To break free from these walls
So she can hold me
In her sway
Here’s to my lady
My lady
The sea
I long to be in her
To sail
To feel the kiss
Of every stormy gail
And for that freedom
I will pray
I sing my lady
My lady
The sea
For she is wide
And deep and unknown
And in her waves
Is where I find a home
And as I wait upon the shore
She’ll hold me heart forevermore

O Death
02:40
|
|||
O, Death. O, Death.
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well, what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet 'til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw 'til you can't talk
O, Death. O, Death.
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin' upon my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
O, Death. O, Death.
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour, come and go with me
No wealth, no land, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, Death. O, Death.
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

Wither
05:03
|
|||
Arm yourself
Arm your heart with walls of iron
Arm your eyes with jaded lines that have seen it all
Are surprised by nothing
But as you face the wither
Every wall will fall
Every stone grows soft
And lets the love back in
And while you face the wither
Hardened eyes will melt
Hardened lips will quake
To let the love come home
Just once more
Hold your own
Hold your independence dear
Hold back pain with rage that keeps you safe
That prevents your weakness
But when you face the wither
Let your arms fall weak
Let your anger pass
And let the love back in
And if you face the wither
Don’t hold on to strength
Let your heart fall free
To let the love come home
Just once more
Just once more
Just once more
Just once
So now you face the wither
And I watch you weep
And I watch you sink
Into your love again
Now that you face the wither
Don’t forget my name
Don’t forget I’m here
To watch your love come home
Just once more
Throw your heart high, throw
Now that her song is gone you still live whole
Let her hold you in her soul
Watch the sunrise and know
Beyond this weary story love grow
It’s alright now to let go
Throw down your sorrow
Upon the altar where you hide
Throw down your weary soul, love
Let the light inside

Sow Part 1
01:54

Follow me down to the river
Follow me to the water’s edge
Your bones they creep
Your bones they seek
My wicked heart, come rest with me
Follow me down to the river
Follow me down to the water
Sink into the deep, the cold, the black
My bones they’ll reach
My bones they’ll teach
Your naive heart, come rest with me
Follow me down to the river
And sink with me my dear
Beyond the brink, I’ll still be here
In my embrace you’ll find a place
So lie down
Follow me
Follow
Follow me down to the river
Follow me to the water’s edge
Your bones they creep
Your bones they seek
My wicked heart, come rest with me
Follow me down to the river

Sow Part 2
00:36
|

Where am I now?
I think I’m lost
Got here somehow
Don’t know the cost
Where is my path
I don’t know this sky
I think in circles now
Oh, where am I?

Sow Part 3
03:34
|
|||
And so I wait to be found
Reach my eyes toward the sun
But plant in the ground
If you could raise me
Help me see
Scrape me clean of doubt and worry
Set me free of all I know
Let me see the sky beyond the clouds
Help me go
Help me go
Sow my dreams
Sow my dreams
Sow my garden
Let it grow
Let grow
Still I wait to be found
Reach my heart toward the moon
But hands earthly bound
If you could raise now
Help me see
Take me far past the horizon
Set me free of all I know
Can’t you see my tear-fall crash the stone
Help me go
Help me go
Sow my dreams
Sow my dreams
Sow my garden
Let it grow
Let grow
Ahhhhh…..
Sow my dreams
Sow my dreams
Sow my garden
Let it grow
Let grow
