Cold guides the way
Cold from that mountain rain
You’ll have to climb up Blackstrap
Climb up to that tower to call her
To call her
You’ll need to cut the last strap
Wait there one more hour to call her
To call her
We’ll meet on top of Blackstrap
Wait just one more hour then call her
I’ll wait on top of Blackstrap
Waiting one more hour to call her
To call her
I’ll wait on top of Blackstrap
Waiting on this tower to call her
To call her
I’ll wait on top of Blackstrap
Tried up here for hours to call her
Please answer
All yr gods will grow up tonight

Raindrops

I can feel the raindrops falling down
And all the time I’m falling to the ground
We’ll take flight through my window
Starlight is ours
By the light of the moon I hold onto stars
I can feel the raindrops falling down
(What you feel is a light emotion)
And all the time I’m falling to the ground
I’ll pour wine on these mountains
Comb through these clouds
On the other side of the world
Is my backyard
Garden of Eden spirited
Did it need to be protected?
I can feel the raindrops falling down
And all the time or calling to come down
In this silvery night light, stretch out yr arms
By the light of the moon, I hold onto stars
On the other side of the world
Is my backyard
Garden of Eden spirited
Did it need to be protected?
And when will we fly free
We’re still trying to become
In frustration, we came back
To the sea and to the land

Christmas Can Wait
08:03
|

Death crawls through my window
And as the evening dances
An honest man falls from his iron frame
This is where lonely hearts live
On my blanket, there’s a window
And as the evening dances
She calls
Calls
Calls
To him
On my blanket, there’s a window
It’s now yr dream, not yr life
This is goodbye my love
Christmas can wait
For the life of beauty and pain
Wrote my future without reservation
From some old circumstance
It was a small sacrifice
For the life of beauty and pain
That suspends us in its grace
The thing I lost will last an eternity

On the other side of the world
It came through like a piece of metal
In the time it takes to make the earth move
Tracking lives, fossilized
In layers and lines which tell time
But you can’t make light
You've got lifeboats on the line
To go alone is suicide
To sink my ghost ship
All yr colours all the time
You're my fortune calling
You don’t like that song of mine
From Yr Lights In to Long Lines
Contentedly, picked up a pen
Looked over to him, looked so zen
Seagulls flying by, boats on the horizon
High high high, this snapshot sent
Meant to tell you then as I tell you now
Things have been changing
Breathing new life into our heads
Our hearts on fire again

Feuds With Guns
04:21
|

And you set a date for it
On the dark side of town
And you said you’d wait for him
Forever
All I ever wanted was to stay
For always
They set a trap for him
On the outskirts of town
Feuds with guns it takes a cold man
To sign-on
Hope you get this message I’m alright
Yrs, always
For always

Please believe me when I say it's true
There will never be another you
In the golden years when I know, we're through
What in the world are we gonna do?

New Revolution
06:54
|
|||
We have starlight that shines for us
We are more than fortunate
Find meaning in our thoughts
Seeing laughter in dark eyes
We have nothing to hide
Call is set for revolution
The call is set a long, long way
Call was said for revolution
The call was sent a long long way
Gonna love you for a long, long time
There’re so many ways of creation
So let’s write the world in our lifetime
So much we are capable of
No mystery that can’t be solved
In a flash of blinding light

Jamie Starr would steal everything that you wore
And listen to the songs that you wrote
And all that you take from me
Would never make you come around
You've been missing since the father of time woke up
All the ladies crying “Lord don’t take yr life”
Come to me
Don’t ever leave
Come to me
My Prince of thieves
With love, there is no death
You've been missing since the dark of the night rolled up
All the ladies crying “Lord don’t take his life”
You've been hurting since the father of time woke up
All the ladies hang a light up for yr life
You’d sing “Free” to me
Playing from my tape machine
You've been missing since the dark of the night rolled up
All the ladies crying “Lord don’t take his life”
All the ladies cry: “With love there is no death!”
I wanna know where you are
And if it feels like it’s far
I wanna know where you are
Can I come?

Oh mother could you make the moon talk to me?
Cause everybody here they hate my dream
Could you tear apart the world and make them see?
When me and moon will talk, no one else around can breathe
Oh mother can you make the moon talk to me?
In the dark lonely seasons of my mind
When me and moon will talk, no one else around will breathe
And I’m lost on the broadway of my mind
Oh mama can you take her mind and make her see?
Hide yr eyes
Don’t leave memories
Of yr warm summer body
But it’s all the same to me
Leave a light on for me love
No one else will take me now

The Besnard Lakes Montreal, Québec
Unique among their furrowed brow peers, The Besnard Lakes are unafraid to marry textured, questing headphone sonics to the honeyed pleasure of radio hits past: the rapture of My Bloody Valentine entwined with the romance of Fleetwood Mac. Imagine dreamy Beach House riding Led Zeppelin dynamics, with unabashedly androgynous vocal harmonies. ... more
