lyrics
OBLIVION.
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2008.
If it’s on your mind,
And you need it,
And nothing else will do…
If it’s your life,
And you believe it,
Then maybe that’s the truth…
Use your sight,
And your feeling,
If you’re going to be with me…
Speak your mind,
And your body…
Will be free.
Moving,
Synchronised,
The sunlight and the moon.
Dancing,
By driftwood fires,
On the beaches next to you.
I’ve lived a lie,
And a method.
I’m leaving it alone.
A doorway in a picture,
That now I understand the meaning of.
Maybe you meant it as a warning?
But I could only see so far.
But you pass right through consciousness,
And out into the stars.
Moving,
Synchronised,
The sunlight and the moon.
Dancing,
By driftwood fires,
On the beaches next to you.
There’s something about her,
That was true.
There’s nothing about her,
That I really knew.
You feel it in a woman –
It’s your conscience as a whole.
The land a kind of paradise –
Your never see what’s coming on.
Moving,
Synchronised,
The sunlight and the moon.
Dancing,
By driftwood fires,
On the beaches next to you.
Water,
Emptiness,
Hedonism for the thrill.
Stepping,
Both in time,
In and out of love with you.
There’s something about her,
That was true.
There’s nothing about her,
That I really knew.
Tourists,
Identity –
Neolithic and the new…
Cool hips,
In galleries –
It’s a catwalk for the few…
Lovers,
Refugees -
Film stars and the crew…
Colour,
Uncertainty -
And a photograph of you…
