lyrics

CRADLE OF LIGHT

there’s a child in me who refuses to give in
slips into my clothes when I wake up in the morning
a little animal who won’t bark with the dogs
and cries out whenever I forget to show her love

there’s a man beside me, he is caught in a dream
the devils inside him wage war relentlessly
he turns to me and says “we’re on a quest for beauty
I’ve been waiting too long for my soul to be set free”

life is overflowing
like a stream of tears
like a cradle of light
and the world disappears
swept away with a frown
when there’s too much too feel

the sound of the river fills my dreams endlessly
fairies and angels talk to me in my sleep
I walk into dark woods and take in nature’s mysteries
if only you knew how strange it is to be me

everything that echoes in this room is precious
every crack in the wall shows new worlds to us
I came to you with open hands and an open heart
nothing we’ve built here will ever fall apart

life is overflowing
like a stream of tears
like a cradle of light
and the world disappears
swept away with a frown
when there’s too much too feel

It's cool... Ms Casey is sort of the internet equivalent of friend from school :] I've been chatting with her intermittently on SoundCloud for a few years... I remember how excited she was to start setting up her home studio√ This is like going away to a different Jr. High & coming back for her graduation. Good people :] Glad to see you succeeding! Understated, sweet & free... "an exquisite thievery"!!! Caalamus Oriente
