about

The song that probably went through the most versions out of all of them, despite being the first one written out of the lot of them. The issue was always tempo rather than trickery, but here we have a happy balance for me. Some of the most poetic lyrics I have manged to create.

lyrics

She’s like the warm breeze in the fading light, the fading light,
The safe caress as dying embers flicker at the fade of day,
That holds you close and keeps you near.
One passing moment she eclipses every second gone before.

She opens up just like the summer’s night, the summer’s night
She’s endless sky with nothing bound to any possibility,
She’s like a tune upon the wind,
So, so familiar but she leaves you chasing more that you could hold.

Is this a love or just a flight of fancy?
Sparks in her eyes that set alight the flame you know will scar
But you can’t do a thing just feel the need to burn.

Is this a tick or years in golden circles?
Bound in green chains, within, without; you submit your reality
She shines so bright she burns within your mind.

She’s like the warm breeze in the fading light, the fading light…
