Say Goodbye 00:48
2.
Come on rise up Rise and disguise the pain Come on feel the wind again Soak your eyes Pull the thorns Hold your heartbeat in your hands Too late now we're torn apart Too late we've been joined apart Lay down and over the moon Lay down and make right with you Today gives way to the night From today we have months of night
3.
Echoes 03:32
I send my soul Amended heart I know there'll be a place for us To start anew, I couldn't without you From the shore Through a forest of fallen gods Is this the only path for us? A way to pass through, on our way to You? I see only winter I see only skies all in gray But I can't let go I count my loves Then count the stars How to count the ways of ours The ways we made do Wind and rain Air on skin, the season's change A note a touch a view a bark A sound that rings true, field sky taste dew I see only winter I see only skies all in gray But I can't let go Echoes of summer Echoes that fade underground (ooo-oo) I can't let go
4.
Love Again 03:48
Feeling a landslide Bartered and sold Once in a nighttime Waits to be told Wants to love again To take control Wants to break this ordinary hold Tuesday a lamp post Friday the cold Noticing less than The moment before Wants to run again To feign control Wants to break this ordinary hold

Good Anna you Good Anna you say too Three ten ever Needs hand done And love money and song And duty sea And long tea soon Caught in a phone Cold in a U-shape tube Caught up in you Caught in all you say too Oo-ooo I want to do And I love and talk Loss Do And I love to do And I love gonna do Do
7.
Feel 03:20
Hold my face Stood and found a laden dog Cool eyes wait Dead he said and walls that talk Wait like I told you It's not late at all I don't know how much I care I don't know how much I can understand I can feel it Call my name Torn between vacuum and fog Too-lined face Led around the ring I fall Tastes like I told you Not so bad at all Cold, my space Days are nights, I hold in thrall Cool eyes wait Teddy's dead and all that talk Days like I told you It's not fate at all
8.
Sea 03:39
Lay down to fallen gnome I lay down for the best and loneliest part I know to hold fallen own I love to fall about I'm known by the stars too I do, I do, I do, I do Know you can loan it back anytime Take eye to fallen low I love to fall the best, the loveliest part I'm known to roam around alone and love to foil attack by the loneliest star too I do, I do, I do, I do Know you can loan it back anytime Lay down to hold your own Try love to fail the best, the loveliest part I know to hold on alone I lay down for the best Antonia sky too
9.
Sea Redux 01:59
10.
Old Time 03:54
Take my hand, not to hold but to keep it well Choose to stay and let go all other ways Try not to tell what you feel anyway And I love all the fine complications And I love, ah love I tell about the days on the floor nothing ahead He wants talk and cigarettes I want to rest Now he’s at peace and it's me who wants to talk And I love all the fine complications Now I love, now I love

about

Sometime in the future
when circumstances allow
or dictate
the first crew of humans to leave Earth behind forever
attempt a long journey through the vacuum
descending through unknown gases
to live on a distant planet
