lyrics

Two Worlds

I walk down the road where butterflies fall
Where the soft rains patter and the pines stand tall
If I ever learn to brush the dust from my feet
Then maybe you can join me where two worlds meet
The birds of the evening are singing in the trees
Perhaps they’re singing for you and me
Wish I could raise myself up and be complete
I maybe think I can where two worlds meet

You’re moving too fast and I have to take a breath
I’ll figure this game out with all I have left
My blood is pumping. my knees are trembling and weak
I’ll somehow get to you where two worlds meet
My feet are caught in some cunning snare
I’d move on now but I’m gripped by your hair
You can see that I’m lowering my head ready to sleep
So come on hold me once more where two worlds meet

So blood is blood and bone is bone
I’m not asking for much or to be left alone
I’m just so tired of chasing the ghost of your speech
I daren’t say more where two worlds meet
Stars are falling and the seas are enraged
Leviathan is loose , he’s torn down his cage
I watched as the admiral turned his cannons on the fleet
I’m sailing adrift where two worlds meet

You’re bold as brass , I’m hard as nails
I watch the lake, see distant sails
You know how to steal success from my defeat
I wave a white flag where our two worlds meet
We have so little time and a pinch of salt
Water and wine , was it my fault
Even if all I do is brush the tears from your cheek
That will be enough for me where two worlds meet

The ransom was paid late in the day
I’d answer your call if you’d get up and play
The chances are slim that I fall on my feet
I climb up the wall where two worlds meet
The pleasure’s all mine just to gaze at the door
Seems like I’ve been out here sometime before
It’s a struggle pinning you down but yet your smile is so sweet
I can’t help but respond where two worlds meet

Trails of dust on a long road to here
I spied you from afar as your shadow came near
Nothing seems fixed and the sun wants for heat
Pull me from the edge where two worlds meet
Your silence is killing me degree by degree
My eyes once saw clear but now I can’t see
You may be aiming high, but I’ve got clay feet
The tower fell and is crushed where two worlds meet

Beulah's Boneyard Oxford, UK

In the turbulent Summer of 2020, we found ourselves dazed, bewildered and locked in isolation in Beulah’s Boneyard. In our bubble of semi-consciousness, we vowed to never let our experiences be forgotten and solemnly pledged to chronicle our time in the boneyard somehow ... more
