Music - Brilliant Trees (David Sylvian)
When you come to me
I'll question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own?
When every step I take
Leads me so far away
Every thought should bring me closer home
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
Every plan I've made's
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn
A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
When you come to me
I'll question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own?
When every step I take
Leads me so far away
Every thought should bring me closer home
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
Every plan I've made's
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn
A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
BigE: I haven't listened enough on Sylvian's songs, but I get it that he is pretty "deep". Here's a really great and sad song he made with Robert Fripp.
DAMAGE
I found the way
By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice
Did I give you much?
Well, you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone
Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything,
Everything
Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face
We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone
DAMAGE
I found the way
By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice
Did I give you much?
Well, you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone
Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything,
Everything
Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face
We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
I only want to be loved
And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, starblind
Tied to someone
