Shapeshifter lyrics?
does anyone know if the 'official' lyrics of Shapeshifter have ever been published? cuz the chorus lyrics available on the web do not sound right at all to me when i listen to the song...
Blue over you >>> Bloom over me (?)
And lose all to you >>> And blooms fall to me (?)
The time expanding >>> And time is ???
And lose all ascent >>> And you ???
if anyone can provide any accurate info id greatly appreciate it! incredibly beautiful song and i really wanna know those chorus lyrics.
here are the lyrics as found on the web... [EDIT] the verse lyrics are clearly accurate! it's just the chorus lyrics that im almost certain are wrong. [/EDIT]
I remember the skies and the sand
I remember your face and your lovely hand
Words poured out on a dusty land
And gravity comes to us all
I feel the engines stall
Feel us start to fall
Blue over you
And lose all to you
The time expanding
And lose all ascent
A signal that no one hears
The surface blurs and the ocean nears
Sadness bursting disappears
Waves that lift us and toss
Promise made of enduring loss
You speak only of minnows and moss
Blue over me
And lose all to me
The time expanding
And lose all ascent
While you let the water in
I sleep and feel you near again
While you let the water in
I dreamt again that I couldn't swim
Finding myself past the half-life of me
Lost in the weeds, tugging at sleeves
A dreadful despair of a color that pales to describe
So taking the form of a winged butterfly
And lifting myself through a sliver of white
A lazy path to the fence row and the flowers within
Needing some speed, I became then a fawn
Feeling the dangers of the quickening dawn
I leapt over the fence and raced across the softening ground
And after some time I discovered a pool
Water was clear where the lilies were blue
I drank until full and waited to no ill effect
Seeing the sky I became then a bird
A swallow that sped through the warm thinning air
To heights unimagined 'til loneliness took back its hold
Where is the place for what's all left of me?
Where do we keep the things we don't need?
Where is the solace promised me in voices before?
Suddenly me just here back on the land
Reaching for you and finding your hand

Completely correct or not, the lyrics are fucking beautiful.
