Ghost Years

(in a dream)
And maybe something comes around
Meet me on the promenade
Yeah meet me in the dust
I’ll be by your side
And we can raise a glass
To the time that we left so far behind
And that we’ve raised at last
Meet me in the ghost years
Yeah I’m here in the ghost years
I’m a dancing in the graveyards
Wearing flowers in my hair
I’m so high on a promise
I’m living without a care
Here in the ghosts years
Yeah I’m living in the ghost years
I’m dancing in the graveyards,
I’m passed out on the grass
Here in the ghost years
And maybe they were the best years
Here in the ghost years.
(how to walk into the heart
The production was vigorous this time
I had a crush on you)
(in a dream)
And maybe something comes around
Meet me on the promenade
Yeah meet me in the dust
I’ll be by your side
And we can raise a glass
To the time that we left so far behind
And that we’ve raised at last
Meet me in the ghost years
Yeah I’m here in the ghost years
I’m a dancing in the graveyards
Wearing flowers in my hair
I’m so high on a promise
I’m living without a care
Here in the ghosts years
Yeah I’m living in the ghost years
I’m dancing in the graveyards,
I’m passed out on the grass
Here in the ghost years
And maybe they were the best years
Here in the ghost years.

True Love
06:48
|

True love leaves
No traces
No hanging branches
And nothing wasted
No sweetness that
I have not tasted
Only roads
that lead us back to Babylon
And I think you know
I’ll be with you there
I’ll be with you in the fall
I’ll be with you there
I’ll be with you through it all
True Love knows
No silence
No reminders of
Our little violence
just directions
That map the horizon
these line of flights
That lead us back to Babylon
And I think you know
I’ll be with you there
I’ll be with you in the fall
I’ll be with you there
I’ll be with you through it all
And true love leaves no token
After the moment of its great commotion
Only the silence that lies on the ocean
Only this process that puts it in motion
You said its
Nothing baby
Its sovereign and it’s free
You said it’s
Nothing, baby
Its sovereign and it’s free
But baby, sometimes,
I wake up in the night
And its like there’s nothing there
There's nothing there
Behind the light
You got to help me find a way
To make it through this life
We’ve got to find a way
To make it through this life
We never found a way
To make it through this life
I never found a way
To make it through this life

Garden
03:36
|

|
Out in the evening,
drinking smoking
I wish it was like that,
but I’m so broken
Yeah, I’m so cold,
I’m almost frozen
Every time the lights go down
I’m just choking
Give me sunlight
Pouring down from above
Give me spring time
Give me some kind of love
Even I could let you go,
It wouldn’t be like this no more
Even if I could let you go
I couldn’t let you go
In the garden,
we did make our kingdom
This is your Queendom,
It’s my kingdom
Somewhere a harp plays,
whispers freedom
But that’s just distance love
That’s not freedom
Sometimes I feel like
We've become a drifting star
Sometimes I feel like
We’ve gone too far
Yeah we’re too lost
we’re too wild
Sometimes I feel
Like such a desperate child
My love, we’ve tried everything but we’re not
Ever going to get back to the source
And they’ll never forget what you did
And I’ll never forget when we were
The lights went down in the grey
And I could see everything now
(I could see everything now)
Dazed and Wasted
I’ve never tasted
Anything quite like this
What we’re faced with
Maybe if I let you go,
It wouldn’t be like this no more
Maybe if I could let you go
If I could
I’m not sure
Even when we first dreamed
That we dipped our fingers
In the cold oceans
On the shallow beaches
Even when we first
Left our clothes by the palms
And they called you
The ocean girl
Because that’s
From where you came
Out on the water
I could see the reflections
I could see the flames burning
I could see them reflecting
I could see our infamy
I could see our indirection
I could see the beauty
In this misconception
The garden’s burning now
It’s burning to the ground
The garden's burning baby
The garden's burning down
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the fucking ground
You sit with me
And we watch it all come down

Wasteland
03:53
|
|||
|
You don’t know
Ah
(It just was, it just is)
There’s a wasteland in my mind
There’s a wasteland in my heart,
I don’t know where to start,
anymore
Just following the Hangjiang
Past the towers
Past the tall grass
Where you lay
By the shore
In the never ending days
Lying with you on the rooftops
Dream person I just don’t know
Unspoken but always sure
You looked at me and you said
Everything’s crumbling
Everything’s crumbling
Fuck this love
And fuck this state of being
And fuck the autumn
Now I’m just living in a dream
There’s an eastern wind child
Blowing down from the towers
And it smells like murder baby
Carried on the wind and the flowers
The storms are coming through
Yeah we know they always must
And I feel just like a mountain
About to crumble into dust
We being through this before
Yeah we being through all this before
Yeah we being through all this before
We’re through this forever more
And it’s just
It’s crumbling
It’s all crumbling
It’s all crumbling
It’s all crumbling
It’s all fucking crumbling
Into the dust
Like glaciers melting
Into the dust
Like the garden burning
We go into the dust
Like we never ever been
Into the dust
So that all that remains
Is this wasteland in my mind
Is this wasteland in my heart
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know where to start
There’s a wasteland in my mind
There’s a wasteland in my heart
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know where to start

Sunshine over Nijiaqiao
06:22
|
|||
|
All that,
we ever wanted,
was nothing
Everything we ever did,
just crumbled into dust
In these piano rooms and bars,
the morning,
it just vanishes
The endless coming down,
Out into the dusk
I was mostly in one piece,
I guess
But I was terrified
When you put your hand in mine
And looked straight into my eyes
But In a handful of pills, she said
I will show you sunshine,
I will show you sunshine,
And I will show you night
In a handful of pills, she said
I will show you sunshine,
I will show you sunshine,
And I will show you night
Isabella is alright I guess
She’s just swinging
Though she looked so fragile sometimes
Like she’s always about
To disappear
In the Chengdu nights
She always seemed so vacant
With her cocktail glasses in her hands
And her hair falling into her eyes
But those rooftop bars with you
They were always getting empty
With the kids all wandering home
And the sun rising out beyond
Our castles made of sand
She consigned them to distance
With a wave of her hand
She whispered and they were gone
Its not a dream she said,
Baby, yeah its just a promise
It's the promise of a land
That will never really come
In Nijiaqiao or wherever,
I guess I didn’t remember
Didn’t remember where I was
Or where we were going to from here
But In a handful of pills, she said
I will show you sunshine,
I will show you sunshine,
And I will show you night
In a handful of pills, she said
I will show you sunshine,
I will show you sunshine,
And I will show you night
(i will show you sunshine...)

Yuzhong skyline (bit)
02:33
|

|
I sit out next to Yuzhong
Waiting for better days
I sit out next to Yuzhong
Waiting for the world to go away
Xin Yue's counting the boats out on the harbour
Yeah, she's always counting the boats out on the harbour

Disaster Dinner Party
08:24
|

|
(It's found again
What?
Eternity!)
At the disaster dinner party
You met them with a smile
And you said, I didn’t notice
But I haven’t been here for a while
I haven’t been here for a while
I haven’t been here for a while
So we sit and sip our brandy
And think of this decline
And there’s magic dust all over the table
And we’re drinking blood like wine
We’re drinking blood like wine
We’re drinking blood like wine
So you make a cup of coffee
And you cut another line
And I thought I saw you smiling
But was that a tear in your left eye?
Was that a tear in your left eye?
Was that a tear in your left eye?
Then We sit around so broken
Just like the way we always used to be
Much of us is still left unspoken
Like the silver on the movie screen
Like the silver on the movie screen
Like the silver on the movie screen
We’re feeling kind of groovy
As we make our way down to the beach
And there’s a red sun out on the horizon
But it’s receding out of reach
Yeah it’s receding out of reach
It’s receding out of reach
The world around us is just empty
There are no blue jays, left in the trees
The building sites are full of ghosts
And it’s sinking into the sea
Yeah it’s sinking into the sea
Yeah it’s sinking into the sea
So we sit around, after the disaster
Thinking of how it used to be
Much of us is still indescribable
We are sovereign
but never free
Yes sovereign but never free
Sovereign, but never free
And it’s receding, out of reach
Yeah it’s receding out of reach
On our way down to the beach
It’s receding out of reach
The aftermath brought only silence
Lying forever, beneath the trees
It always felt like a love affair
Between my body
And the sea
And she said
At the disaster dinner party
You met them with a smile
And you said, I didn’t notice
But I haven’t been here for a while
I haven’t been here for a while
I haven’t been here for a while
