Альбом Bat For Lashes

I will rise now
And go about the city
In the street's
Broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth

Went over the sea
What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities

And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour

And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors

Saw a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the being
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot white diamond
Burning through the rainbow

Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

Hey, oh
Hey, oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey, oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh

You know my darling I can't stand to sleep alone
No sweetheart in the dark to call my own
You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can grow
But the darkness is a stranger in our lonely, lonely, lone.

Last night's parties and last nights horror show
Smiling and welling and kissing all I know
Give my soul, give my soul, sing it free across the sea
Lonely spell to conjure you but conjure hell is all I do

Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream
Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream

They say for every heart high there must be a low, low, low, low, low
And with every sun ascending a lonesome moon will grow, grow, grow, grow
Drive my heart, drive my heart, into the fire of a burning heart's desire
The only spells you'll be seeing, do you hear me coming in my blue dream

Lonely, lonely, lonely, cos my mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream
Lonely, lonely, lonely,
The dream of love is a two hearted dream

Lover, when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress for a husband lost at sea
If I had you here
Better here together
I'd be boy and you'd be girl
Beautiful

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll drag me to your door
And I won't see you no more

When this wild world
Is a big bad hand
Pushing on my back
Do you understand?
When I get home
Down in the jungle
Where's my bear to lick me clean?
Feed my soul milk and honey

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll drag me to your door
And I won't see you no more

I won't see you no more

Daniel when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under under our blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We'll never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Cryin' took me to the darkest place
And you have set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that's worst ?
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our love the tears crept
Just catch in the eye of the storm
And as my heart ran round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that's worst?
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that's worst
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

Look at this and look at us
We wonder, oh we're wondering
Unalike, to say we're lost
Try my best with needing us
Build a ladder to the sky
Sit up there and say oh my
Does looking down make a me a queen
All the sorrow that I see
If I ever get back down
Find a map that takes me back
Through the wounded, through the wars
To a time that came before
To hover bored into the sun
Come back when my time is done
A mother for this childless world
An arrow of light for every boy and girl

Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Are you my family?
Can I stay with you a while?
Can I stop off in your bed tonight?
I could make you smile.

In the morning I'll make you breakfast
in the evening I'll warm the bed.
And I'll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I'll never get sad.
'Till the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil.

I was a heartbreaker, I loved you
the same way I do.
But I've got so much wickedness and sin.

My name is Pearl
and I'll love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart.
And the siren come calling
In the night
Until the light.

Help you dress yourself up fancy
and bathe you when you get sore

I'll be good; I think I could be all you would want and more and more.
Be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
Glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
I'll try not to let you down.

'Till the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil.
I was a heartbreaker, I loved you
the same way I do.
But I've got so much wickedness and sin.

My name is Pearl
and I’ll love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart.

And the stars are exploding the lights
It won't be long until you'll be mine
No, it won't be long till you break
It won't be long until you break
It won't be long until you leave
cause I'm evil, evil...

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
It's not a place I have seen
But I'll get there in a new dream

Down an ocean road
Past a sign that says "good love town"
Into a darkness where the stars do drown
Where the starry me needs to be free

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
For my heart is a child
That stumbles lonely for the arms of a bride

Hear the desert sigh
Sing the city's lullaby
The giant iris of the wide blue sky
Showing me the way

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders

In the night time we are found
Misty sorrow swoop unbound
Whisper you mean it, say you'll stay
Hold my heart till brighter days

Now I am searching how to get alone
This queen of heart's dancing on her throne
But I need sorrow, baby, life's sorrow is the drug
So will I ever find that place they call good love?

Good love
Passed it last night in a dream
Good love
And my heart caught fire

I drove past true love once, in a dream
Like a house that caught fire, it burned and flamed
Then the magician disappeared as quickly as he came
And with a sound like white magic caught in a black car's blazing trail

The house set fire to my heart
Like an inferno we shone rays
I swallowed the sun in your form

I woke up and you were crying
I woke up and you were saying

Good love
Passed it last night in a dream
Good love
Cause my heart caught fire

Good love
Passed it last night in a dream
Good love
Cause my heart caught fire

Show me moonlight on the sunrise
I've seen so many planets dancing
I've seen too many people hiding
Show me sunset and I won't forget
That I am one of two planets dancing
I am part of two planets dancing

Shallow man!
Sign your name
On my sun!

The song of Solomon
Died in the battleground
The song of Solomon
Died in love's battleground

I am full
Shattered by this sailing time
For all your suffering by night
Oh warm, but under bright
And life is so much dark and light
When day cannot exist without a night
And you are not separate from me
I am a heart that's full of life

And to be shared
On this night
Feel my hands
Feel my life
For the Sun
And the stars
Are my Mother
And my sister
I know where the form is changing
I know that the stars will follow me..

Hang on travelling woman
Dont sacrifice your plan
'Cause it will come back to you
Before you lose it on the man
Never fall in love with potential
'Cause you can't see with your own eyes
All the pretty faces and sorry words
Can take away your pride
Got to listen to the vision
Some may say a dream, words from the unseen

Or it can make you tired, tell you lies and make you fall
Make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall
Make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall

Hang on travelling woman
Don't sacrifice your plan
'Cause it will come back to you
Before you lose it on the man
Got to listen to the vision
Play in the ashes of what you once were
Got to listen to the vision
Play in the ashes of what you once were

How can it be the last show?
(How can it be the last show?)
How can it be the last show?
(How can it be the last show?)

No more spotlights coming down from heaven
It's a goodbye, it's curtains double time
Not even out of my dress
And already my voice is fading
Goodbye my dear
(Goodbye)
And until the big sleep
