lyrics
After all this wasted rain
Just got a flicker of the sun
It scared me
We rarely get to end what we've begun
The torments of my faith are gone for good
But I'm eager to trust the flame and fallout
From your pain and lust
I've shaken off the cobwebs
And we've painted over all the rust
We're here at last without the past
Come on baby
Take these cardboard boxes
Wake your fears
Today we unpack our belongings
Spread so thin over the years
You're insisting that space is a compatriot
But time is still your enemy
The hours, the stars
You are
I say we ride that wave until it ends
It's alright to bend away from heaven
Just acquaint my shadow with the light
You were
You are
Just got a flicker of the sun
It scared me
We rarely get to end what we've begun
The torments of my faith are gone for good
But I'm eager to trust the flame and fallout
From your pain and lust
I've shaken off the cobwebs
And we've painted over all the rust
We're here at last without the past
Come on baby
Take these cardboard boxes
Wake your fears
Today we unpack our belongings
Spread so thin over the years
You're insisting that space is a compatriot
But time is still your enemy
The hours, the stars
You are
I say we ride that wave until it ends
It's alright to bend away from heaven
Just acquaint my shadow with the light
You were
You are

Silver Tomb For The Kingfisher
by Jay CliffordJay Clifford is one of the greatest living songwriters and a masterful singer. Best known as frontman for the brilliant Jump, Little Children, this 2nd solo album has his genius on full display.
go to album -
A gorgeous instrumental record from the brilliant mind of Bob Boilen. Great as ambient music but filled with beautiful melodies and shifting textures for focused listening, which I highly suggest.
