“Far Away” (demo)
You kissed a spot
A world called its weary heart
Then you tore away
Tore away
You’ve held your plan
To sing for another man
Well, on your way
On your way
So far way
Far way
Far Away
Far Away
I can’t believe
The way a muse can up leave
My awe estranged
Awe estranged
And so far away
Far away

“Howling Waves” (demo)
Something in the sky
Cries for tomorrow
Send a down kiss
Rid me of sorrow
Behind a thin cloud
Silhouette of an angel
With wings opened wide
Wings that are borrowed
Don’t leave me here
Amongst the howling waves
My body is blue
My hair’s turning grey
Kiss me once more
Give me a chance for the shore
Calm the howling waves
My vision is flooded
The angel sings
I thought my song was forgotten
From the choir’s memory
And what of these scrolls
That are etched on my hands
For the lighthouse is dimming
Oh I’ll never see land
Don’t leave me here
Amongst the howling waves
My body is blue
My hair’s turning grey
Kiss me once more
Give me a chance for the shore
Calm the howling waves (2x)
