about

Not much of a demo; pretty much one-and-done. A few lines I'd like to tweak, lyrically and melodically, but overall, I'm pretty happy with this one.

lyrics

once upon a time I had a dream
I sank without a sound beneath the stream
and you appeared before the darkness fell
to raise me up, to fill this empty shell

like roots that grow together after time
the tendrils on the bower intertwine
it’s hard to tell where you begin, and I
well, I don’t mean much, a river running dry

everything that’s left of me
the pull upon my tide
reflecting pale the flashing of your light
and I don’t know what I would do
without you by my side
my skies are full, the stars are yours tonight

you give me hell when I stop making sense
you lay me down when you’re my last defense
and to think I once could manage on my own
if I should lose you, I’d turn myself to stone

I know what it means to lose your trust
I know how it feels to fade to dust
and I don’t ever want to feel that way again
it pulls me under to think what might have been

everything that’s left of me
the pull upon my tide
reflecting pale the flashing of your light
and I don’t know what I would do
without you by my side
my skies are full, the stars are yours tonight
