ashley eriksson - island song
Come along with me
To a town beside the sea
We can wander through the forest
And do so as we please
Come along with me
To a cliff under a tree
Where we'll gaze upon the water
As an everlasting dream
All of my affections
I give them all to you
Maybe by next summer
We won't have changed our tunes
I still want to be
In this town beside the sea
Making up new numbers
And living so merrily
All of my affections
I give them all to you
I'll be here for you always
And always be for you
Come along with me
To a town beside the sea
We can wander through the forest
And do so as we please
Living so merrily
ashley eriksson - mother nature s promise
Mother nature
Mother's promise
Do not hate your nature
Just be honest
Don't forget your pride
We are on your side
ashley eriksson - why are you so helpless
Why are you so helpless?
Is it the pain in your heart?
That keeps you from helping
Another person in need?
Are you a victim yourself?
Are you hungry for an end?
Are you sorry that you were born at all?
Why are you so sad?
Is there no rain
In the sky
That can clean your
Weary eyes
Or no sunshine
That can heal
And reveal
A new sky?
Are you swallowing your anger?
That someone dear could let you down?
How could they hurt you, can it really be true?
How could they betray you?
Sorrow is just like a void
There's no one there to help you out
But if you help me, and I help you too
Then it won't have to be so bad
Is there no rain
In the sky
That can clean your
Weary eyes
Or no sunshine
That can heal
And reveal
A new sky?
Is there no rain
In the sky
That can clean your
Weary eyes
Or no sunshine
That can heal
And reveal
A new sky
Is there no rain
In the sky
That can clean your
Weary eyes
Or no sunshine
That can heal
And reveal a new sky
For you and I
You and I
ashley eriksson - arguably
Sometimes I wish I was talkin' to you
'Cause you know everybody that I do
You would hear my story, and you would agree
We are always right on, you and me
And you can always count on my company
On and on and on, endlessly
We're all loving creatures of the same decree
But we've got one up on them don't we?
Don't we?
Arguably, don't we?
ashley eriksson - bury the house
Bury the house, under the garden
Make an attempt to go outside
Bury the house, under the garden
Bury the house
Parallel lines coming from you and me
Will have to cross each other eventually
Our house is made of wood
But I don't think that it should
Before it gets any worse
I'm gonna cover that house with dirt
ashley eriksson - colours
Colours in the morning
Sunshine on the awning
It comes without warning
And I still feel like yawning
But if I could just hold on to the dream
I could keep the feeling
A leaky roof, a door that's jammed
A dusty shelf, the food stuck to the pan
The broken clock, the moldy shelf
The car won't start, there's a fire in the chimney
There's a fire in the chimney
Keep it light
Try to write it down
Before it's gone
ashley eriksson - good storm
When emotions run dry
I look for a good storm
Something bigger than me
With its own story
The gentle breeze will have to end
And a good storm will come back again
When emotions run dry
I look for a good storm
Something bigger than you
To look forward to
The gentle breeze will have to end
And a good storm will come back again
ashley eriksson - humming in the dark
Humming, humming in the dark
Humming, humming in the dark
To keep warm
To keep away from harm
Do you hear me in the woods?
Do you hear me in the woods?
Don't be startled
Don't be starrtled
ashley eriksson - in the stubborn eyes of a demon
In the stubborn eyes of a demon
Is there no progress, no chance for peace?
And can something terrible ever be rectified?
I really want to think so
What is nothing? Is it a black hole?
Or can it even exist at all?
Is it a theory, a concept, a figure of speech?
Or is it the substance that makes me?
I really want to believe everything
ashley eriksson - sunset
What have we done to the sunset?
Do you still think it's pretty when you're sitting in traffic?
And if your car breaks down, can you fix it?
And if it falls off a cliff, will you miss it?
Are you still on the same road that you were before?
Are you still trying to get home in a hurry?
Will I really miss my car?
Will I really miss my home?
Will I really miss smoking?
Will I really miss my phone?
ashley eriksson - west of the mountain
West of the mountain
West of the mountain
A shadow from the rain
West of the mountain
The alluvial plain
West of the mountain
Bridges and brooks
Highways of water flowing underfoot
Through the rocks and roots
West of the mountain
West of the mountain
Blessed by a fountain
West of the mountain
Many a rich land
Are volatile below
The ashes and the soot
Have made the soil good
So how can we show hate
For something that is so great
West of the mountain
West of the mountain
