There Is A Place

There is a place
I go to when it’s quiet The walls are way too thin Not to hear you crying
Bury the years
In the shallows, love Lock your door Where they can’t find you
Weary eyes blatantly gazing Back at me
Hollow deception
It all comes out now The words we use are
Blindly suffocating this room
So we drown in The pale shade of The two lovers We used to be
Weary eyes blatantly gazing Back at me
Hollow deception
Weary eyes blatantly gazing Back at me
Hollow deception
In the morning sun There is smoke in your lungs In the morning sun
Our names disappear

Morpheus
03:41
|

|
Wide-eyed, bodies close
Innocence, youth can bruise young hearts
Indigo nights that we’re breathing in
Upstream running creek
Forever runs lonesome
In secrecy
Laying in the sheets of your honesty
Your inner silence seeps through
The words you speak
I can’t tell you what’s home
Since I’m gone
We’re running with the wolves
Forever run lonesome
In secrecy
Laying in the sheets of your honesty
Your inner silence seeps through
The words you speak
Put me back to sleep Morpheus
Put him back to sleep Morpheus
Put me back to sleep Morpheus
Put him back to sleep Morpheus
In secrecy
Laying in the sheets of your honesty
Your inner silence seeps through
The words you speak
In secrecy
Laying in the sheets of your honesty
Your inner silence seeps through
The words you speak

Howling
03:16
|
|||
|
There are whispers in the tree
And they‘re calling me
Oh they‘re calling,
Calling me back again
The falling rain sounds like a melody,
A melody, that’s long been gone
An almost forgotten one
All the sirens and the demons
They‘re teasing me
The promise of their chains to release me free
The snake and the devil
They‘re pleasing me
But I left them
Howling
I left them howling
I‘m riding on the back of an elephant
It guides me, to the tempted land
Golden fields of sweet sweet lies
They scratch their hands
While I’m passing by
A shadow in his own light
All the sirens and the demons
They‘re teasing me
The promise of their chains to release me free
The snake and the devil
They‘re pleasing me
But I left them
Howling
I left them howling
But I left them

TV
03:45

The TV is loud
She can barely hear her thoughts
A notebook with names
She might have heard
of
The curtains are closed
And her daylight hides
It‘s early spring
And she forgets who her husband was
Tell me all the stories I’ve heard a thousand times
A 1001, 1002, 1003
I‘ll bear them for you
A 1001, 1002, 1003
I‘ll keep them for you
The TV is loud
She can barely hear me talk
She holds my hand
She won’t believe a word
They‘re all strange, they stole her purse
People trying to help
Will only make it worse
Tell me all the stories I’ve heard a thousand times
A 1001, 1002, 1003
I‘ll bear them for you
A 1001, 1002, 1003
I‘ll keep them for you
Soon sitting on her timeless throne
She will be home soon
I will stay, when she goes
Soon sitting on her timeless throne
She will be home soon
I will stay, when she goes

Palace Of Gold
03:45

|
Oh lord, I close my eyes
Till the day
I go blind
And I, I do not care
What you’re doing over there
On your throne in your palace of gold
As long as you don’t mess around
In these walls of mine
Upheaval in our countryside
But we won’t defy the king
Even if we chose a side
It’s the mess where we hide
We are not fighting who we are
As long as we could spend our days
Just caring for our prayers
We are
used to living with our sins
’cause that is, what a good day brings
Upheaval in our countryside
But we won’t defy the king
Even if we chose a side
It’s the mess where we hide
On your throne in your palace of gold
On your throne in your palace of gold
On your throne in your palace of gold
On your throne in your palace of gold

The Swallow
03:59
|
|||
|
You cared for my dreams
Like a mother for her child
Oh all the love
You left behind
You got carried away
Like the swallow leaves with the winter sun
The rhythm we danced to
Turns into a lonely drum
You’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone with the winter sun
You were like a crusader
Desperate for the holy grail
So you had to move on
Far away, only words remain
I’ve tried to catch up
But even your shadow is a raw draft
The lilies are withered
That you once plucked
You’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone with the winter sun
You’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone with the winter sun
The swallow is back
But you, you stay wherever you are

Eldorado
04:03
|

|
Sunday morning, the coffee is brewed
He’s all suit up, she’s wearing his brooch
Getting ready for church
Like good people do
Eldorado, the car is new
Daddy’s smiling when the neighbours salute
She’s pretty
While she prays the rosary
My dad is a hard-working man
That’s what my mama said
My dad is paying all the bills
So we show him some respect
‚Your mother’s feeling sick today’
That is what my father says
Broken porcelain
On the kitchen floor
Second time this week the doctor rings the door bell
Because mama fell down the stairs
Blue petticoat
Blue bruises on her throat
My dad is a hard-working man
That’s what my mama said
As long as we live under his roof
We need to show him some respect
Daddy drinks, Mama cries and I hide during night
- And the neighbours salute -
His Sunday prayers they can’t hide
the sins and demons of the night
- And the neighbours salute -
Forgive me father
My dad, a hard-working man
And the neighbours salute
My dad, paying all the bills
And the neighbours salute
My dad, a hard-working man
And the neighbours salute
My dad, paying all the bills
So we show him some respect

Her Ghost
03:33
|
|||
|
‚You don’t talk to me
like you used to do’
His words are crawling through her head
‚You don’t touch me now
like you used to do’
His words are crawling through her skin
But she knows she holds his heart in her hands
And her ghost he’s waiting for to come back
He doesn’t make her feel
What she felt before
Words aren’t always spoken truth
Is there something else that might have changed them selves?
In-between their vanished youth
But she knows she holds his heart in her hands
And her ghost he’s waiting for to come back
He doesn’t know what to say after all this time
She can’t differ between wrong or right
She doesn’t know how to feel after all this time
He’s only watching her turning his days into nights
His heart
In her hands
His heart
In her hands
His heart

Dead flies on their window sill
And I can’t change how they feel
When nobody is listening
I don’t hold my tears within
Dead flies on my window sill
And I can’t change how I feel
When nobody is listening
We don’t hold our tears within

Amber & the Moon Hamburg, Germany
Amber & the Moon writes songs of somber beauty. Fragile and intimate textured acoustic arrangements create a mysterious and haunting atmosphere. While her lyrics hint at melancholy and vulnerability, any sentiment of wistful poignancy is alleviated by singer Ronja’s delicate and emotive voice. Amber & the Moon’s moody indie-folk music recalls colors of artists such as Daughter & Laura Marling. ... more
