Night to come

I wait for the night to come
I wait for the night to come
The darkness brings me light
The darkness brings me light

(refrain)
Stars, the proof
Stars, the proof
Stars, the proof
that I’m there

I wait for the night to come
I wait for the night to come
The light brings me the truth
The light brings me the truth

(refrain)

She is a cloud

I look up in the sky
And there she is
The strangest thing I ever know
The hardest thing to find its shape

One moment she shows her shape
Another moment she turns into drops of water
I can only watch her cry

I try to comfort her
But I can never hold her
She floats in the sky
A white fragile cloud she is

When the wind sweeps her body
She just looks down and fades away
I can only watch her cry

She sees through our faces
She sees through our thoughts
She is everybody’s emotion
She turns into their tears

I try to reach her hand
But when I get there
All I see is a piece of cloud
I can only watch her cry

Air

Colors you can see
Colors you don’t see
Anything in between
Is hard to see

She lights her cigarette
She mothers her flowers
She sits and stares
All in silence

(refrain)
Sound of the street
Sound of the creek
Constant current
Swallows her words

Her gaze is blue
Does she see in blue?
Like an elegant flower
She keeps her thoughts inside

Her mind is clear
She sees us talk
Inhaling our words
Exhaling the air

(refrain)

I ask you, Blue Moon

Blue is blue
But the moon is white
So why do we call it blue
Once in a while,
Once in a blue moon she comes around twice


And you shine bright tonight
So the stars are dim
I watch you rise
I don’t know who to ask
So I ask you, Blue Moon

(refrain)
When you get to his side
Please tell him I think of him
When you reach his side
Please tell him I think of him

Sadness and rain
Last I saw was a sad face
That’s what I remember now
I don’t know who to ask
So I ask you, Blue Moon

(refrain)

Stories

Stories are made
Today she plays a tragic woman
She learns her part
She knows she’s smart

She wrings her tears
But she feels no fear inside
Her voice sings sadly
Her eyes darken madly

(refrain)
Her life, in stories
She lives in stories
Her life, in stories
She lives in stories

She colors her world
With her carefully chosen words
She wants it to be grand
She wants it to be stirring
She wants it to be dangerous
She wants it to be something else

(refrain)

Lost Balloon

I know my name
I know my face
I know where I live

I know the color of my blood
I know pane and ache

But I’m a lost balloon
I don’t know my way

My voice or your voice
My choice or your choice
Is there a clear line?

Is my desire
Is my joy,
Are they mine or yours

I’m a lost balloon
Inside I feel empty

I’m a lost balloon
I don’t know my way

Cosmo’s tune

Solo drum piece by Jason Vontver

Another Full Moon

I’m back again
Another Full Moon
I wonder if the sky ever weeps
When the moon disappears
Some things never return
Some things are never meant to
But I wish I could see you tonight

Closer and brighter
That’s what you chose
Truly, I feel fine
But something makes me sad
What is a feeling?
And why can it fade so fast?
I wish I could see you tonight

Like a star
Far from here
It might have been burnt
And now it’s gone
What I’m seeing is just a light
Emitted long ago
I still wish I could you tonight

Wakare - parting, separation

(translation)

"Let’s be friends forever"
When one says this,
that’s a beginning of a separation..
Without knowing consciously,
I start to see things that are about to happen .

Flowers bloom
Cicadas cry
Trees get tired
and they get covered by ice

The things I didn’t see till now,
I begin to see gradually
The tears and scars from a childhood.
When I see this,
I snip the thread.

I can’t do anything, and I just leave.

Rare Flower

I close my eyes to see you
I close my eyes to hear you
There is no need to far
There is no need to go anywhere

You are a rare flower
I found in a desert I came to visit
You glow and shine for everyone
Who sees you

I wanted to pick you and take you
To brighten up my home
I wanted to have you for my own
But your roots grew deep there

So I close my eyes to see you
I close my eyes to hear you
There is no need to go far
There is no need to go anywhere

Messenger

Messenger has come to me
Riding on a horse
He came to say I was free

Free to see
Free to have
Free to know
Free to be

(refrain)
He touched my skin
I woke from a dream
He open the door
I stepped outside

Messenger has come to me
Riding on a horse
He came to say I was free

Free to choose
Free to rise
Free to live
Free to love

(refrain)

Surprise is there (surprise track)

Rain comes down
When the sun is out
I step outside with shades and an umbrella
It’s complicated, this weather here
But it changes when I look
When I look I see

The rainbow runs from town to town
The tallest mountain anyone has ever seen
I’m soaking wet
But I’m not so cold suddenly

The worst day can come more than once
Each time I called the "worst"
I try to be good, try to be fair
Yet I’m made to crawl
I’m make to clime

An angel comes and sits on my head
She turns my eyes to the horizon
I see the moon
Full and yellow


Surprise is there
It needs to be found
A prize is there
It needs to be found
Surprise it there
It needs to be found
