ASH

by Trees

/
1.
See them in the orange gloom Angels of love, ashes of light Breezes stir the latest blue A fever in the air of twilight
2.
Gold on the surface of the sea Your hair in the breeze and your face in the sun Starfish and shells, days on days and nights undercover Asian summer sands Asian summer sky Days on days and night undercover Days on days at the edge of the world Shiva sings of love A love like mantra Salt on my skin, I think of you Deep in my head your silky sound East of the sun, west of the moon Your fingers play like snakes of lust Burn on me the flames of your love (now here, so real) Tears burnin' on, ashes ungone (still glowin' on)
3.
Disease's passed, silver September Every rhyme surrender to the healing tender Breathe at my side, heaven's only angel Cruel killing crime doing harm within you (Wordslike, maybe thoughtslike) the sky moves sideways (Loverlike, maybe ghostlike) it leads me by the hand Desert's plains, kingdoms of ages Every golden dune is a fragile fortune
4.
The doors you open you find ajar, 'cause you I await Heaven in disarray I share with you and outside it rains so hard, so come on, please come on... Tiresome and twisted you came and reached for me from miles away Desperate and pure and in the mood for love you lay, so come on, please come on... I will take it now if you give me now and if you won't at all I won't do at all I will let it go if you want it gone and if you want it on I will let it on And I will love you now if you want me now and if you won't at all I won't do at all And I will let it go if you want it gone and if you want it on I will let it on So come on, please come on...

December 06:18
You came like December, gazing at the season change Your mind on a sweet dream, never afraid of winter You came like a light breeze shivering on a quiet lake Your lips close together, never afraid of silence And you rolled on down like river smoothing all the hard stones Your stream never ending, never afraid of future And you rose like a jasmine clinging to my body Your heart clean and reckless, never afraid of loving me Much I dreamt of you like a seed under the snow And then you came in my awakening, maybe my deeper dream Much I loved you, but veiled my heart remained unsaid knowin' the pain of too much tenderness And all we have someday shall be given, sex you make sweeter with hunger and thirst Now the wind longs to play with your hair, the bees to count your petals So you came, so you lay, like light breeze on a quiet lake So you clinged, so you chained, like jasmine to my days
6.
Bring down the light, weave around me darkness, let it be the night with the sweetest blindness Give my heart another chance, shall I find my love Among the sheets her silhouette, laid and still like island Oh, why it's just in dreams we fly? why it's just in dreams our life? Why it's just in dreams that truth is on our side? Why it's just in dreams the peace we feel sometimes? All we dreamers walk balancing on the edges (head in the clouds, all we Dreamers fall) All we dreamers fantasize, boozers and on smoke dopes (head in the clouds, slowdown-honey-slowdown) We can tell a thousand tales, we can charm them up like snakes We have all the stars' names, we can set the night ablaze And if they say we need some aid, they just wanna change our mind When they say we need some aid, sure it's just a waste of time And if somebody turns his face, maybe he's just a jealous kind Might somebody turn his face, sure he's just a jealous kind Homecoming to the house of tomorrow, unexplained white silence smiling in flowers Ecstasy is a freedom song

Beauty 05:54
When you sleep in my embrace beauty is in my arms When I breathe life from your chest two hearts beat as one Remember the day when we first met, lost for love to find us Really no one was just as closest, two souls into one Beauty is every creature faithful to a wildlife, it's senses and attraction, nothing you can't hide alike Beauty is only nature, the guessing game of angels Who lay on us a higher love, as blasphemous we pray on them And when I gaze at your tempting shape beauty is in my eyes Every new day God's country landscapes reveal in my eyes, every new day beauty is in our prayers
8.
Treasure 06:13
Eyes on fire, the world's tumbling down Losing ourselves, love's burning bright Pleasure to taste, asunder in waste, your lips cherry red like a bleeding scar Consciousness confuses me, innocence, treasure and bliss Now it's you lyin' here like the sands of a shore and me like the waves that kiss you for more Precious you rest and smooth the day breaks, It whispers in your ears and so lift you up Highways you find soothing my mind and sparks as the stars in the sheltering sky Love it's you lyin' here like the sands of a shore and me like the waves that kiss you for more Smooth the day breaks, the world's tumbling down as soon as the light's glowing
9.
Mistral 06:32
Sail away on oceans, light's the direction Blind faith on a fairy wind, blind faith on a mazy star Pray for a new skin, pray for a new sky It breathes in the sunrise, it bleeds in the sundown You're far beyond emotions, far beyond sensations With miles given to the wings, miles to be left behind Blessed by a new dream, dyin' on a peace of mind You're still in the sunshine, naked and overshy Hours in the house of love, eyes in the eyes of love
10.
Missing 06:10
Away from love, away from you Why so far? Was it so far? Being apart and feeling just insecurity We've been aching body and soul in synchronicity Why so hard? was it so hard? A call of emergency, my heart it burns, a call of emergency, my head it turns In search of you, in need of light and it won't stop until you make it right A call of emergency, my body shakes, a call of emergency, the moves I make Fever's on, high and blind, and it won't heal until you make it right
