Mariposa Antisocial 01:30
lyrics

Mariposa antisocial no se atreve a volar Ya el capullo empieza a apretar Pero no puede soltar el miedo Allá arriba ve temblar El abrigo de las hojas Lejos, algo ve brillar Como nunca nada antes Qué lindo sería tocarlo y sentir su calor

The Afterglow 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Iridescent particles in the light A dress of dead leaves and puzzles made out of clouds The song that birds sing In the hour of deep twilight In the mountains, snowfields reflect the sky In the afterglow, look who’s at your door Wind whisperer, notice the trees A message from the first strokes of Spring Mercury in retrograde The void of the sleepy eight A universe in my head So hard to concentrate Call upon Jupiter Beautiful perceptions Violet sea Roses in the morning Name them after me Dress of dead leaves, I put it on for him Particles, like thoughts Suspended in the light…

Gusanos 02:42
lyrics

No te lo dije, nunca preguntaste Fue hace 8 o 7 años atrás En el mismo banco, en la misma plaza Tuve un corazón entre los dientes y no pude no apretar Julio, Junio, tres, dos, uno Como que todo va hacia atrás Martes, lunes y domingo y los gusanos vuelven a enterrarse Sin flores, cómo encontrás la tumba de lo que ya no podés tocar Si me rompés , yo te rompo O antes para no arriesgar Con su corazón entre los dientes, Como iba a no apretar Y brillan estrellas que olvidaron que eran estrellas, Que eran estrellas Y brillan estrellas que olvidaron que eran estrellas, y él entre ellas otra vez

Cosmic Swirl 05:08
lyrics
buy track
I bought a book that came with a storm And the sight of you framed by the bedroom door From where time can´t erase you Against all predictions, the next season followed Now I look at you as if you were a stranger Whose lips I wore on mine Does it matter, in this cosmic swirl I used to wear your lips on mine? Does it matter to this cosmic swirl? Does it matter? Had a mean little boy rip me into pieces Yes, you lit firecrackers under my bed Then left where I can’t reach you Where you’re not mine to taste Does it matter when it hurts Like paper cuts inside your brains? Does it matter in this cosmic swirl? Does it matter? The one who forever eluded you Freezing in the pouring rain Your first words starting to forget.. Does it matter, in this cosmic swirl That it’s too late to memorize you? Swirl, cosmic hue If you were liquid, I’d be drenched in you Swirl, cosmic hue If you made him liquid I’d be drenched in blue

Recuerdos de Marte 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Témpano, irás al cajón que guarda el verano En Enero logré embotellar el sol en el lago Donde duerme mi nube, quizás es dentro de un piano Cierran círculos y rosas Trato de no resbalarme y borronear Recuerdos de Marte Recuerdos de amarte Témpano, irás sobre la almohada que llenan mis sueños La luna se prende, se prende y desprende el miedo del trueno y en un charco tiembla el cielo Trato de no resbalarme y borronear Recuerdos de Marte Recuerdos de amarte Recuerdos de Marte Recuerdos de amarte Témpano, la gota que cae lenta de aguja en aguja es el tiempo y el tiempo no vuelve atrás.

Anchored in Blue 03:29
lyrics
buy track
I pity the ones who never kissed you The ones that didn’t dare The ones that never noticed the sunlight in your hair But every time I see you gets harder than the last ‘cause I know very soon We’ll have to say goodbye Shut the world, come through my window The sun has set, But not on us just yet I pity the ones who never touched you Who never held your hand The ones who never promised To love you till the end But every time I say it, I know that it’s not fair Do you believe in fairytales? I’m anchored in blue I got you loving me You got me loving you But us is just a notion, a wave in the ocean that instead of just waving, it dreams Dreams I envy the ones who’ll never get to dive in your crying eyes The ones who’ll never say goodbye (I said I’d never write a love song. Oh no, that’s too corny for me. I said I’d never write a love song, ‘cause love songs are nothing like me. Now guess who went and wrote a love song; I guess I’m too corny for me And yes, it’s just a silly love song, I lost my armor, could it be?)

Hablo con el Viento 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Entre flores pisoteadas, las hojas corriendo van Por veredas de ciudad, sin saber que hay algo más Cuando el otoño se caiga, volveré a recordar El crujido de las piedras que son puente hacia mi hogar Hablo con el viento, con el viento Hablo con el viento y me dice dónde va Solo las olas demuestran que el tiempo corriendo está Cuando todo está tan quieto y hay soles de metal ¿Cómo bajar la montaña si no me quiere soltar? ¿De qué servirá este bote sin un río que cruzar? Hablo con el viento y me dice donde va Hablo con el viento, con el viento (sûl.. sûl..sûl..)

Soundborn 04:59
lyrics

The moon has a place inside, a hiding place inside my room Soundborn, sound-born In the horizon Winters aglow, Waters stolen by the sky Sunrise surrenders Dripping through, Where the river used to run Soundborn, sound-born In the horizon Doorway open, One day, Someday Into the moon Winters aglow… See you, I see you, the sea in you (soundborn soundborn in the horizon) Say you got me a hiding place..

Sueño Viejo 03:09

Me parece un sueño viejo Pero el sol es el mismo Y yo también Como sigue siendo El sol sigue siendo Y yo sigo siendo Pero vos no estás Cómo sigue siendo Todo sigue siendo No entiendo No entiendo Me parece algo imposible Que ya no te enteres de lo que en el mundo de lo que en el mundo pasará No entiendo Yo sigo tejiendo Tejiendo un sueño viejo Y a vos (ya mí) Dentro de él Cómo sigue siendo El sol sigue siendo y yo sigo siendo pero vos no estás Cómo sigue siendo Todo sigue siendo No entiendo No entiendo Cómo sigue siendo Como sigue siendo Siendo siendo siendo

Fade To Gloom 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Flickering and wavering glowing little things moving through meadows Flickering and wavering all through the grassy hills just after sundown Homes within the caves in lakes Or underneath the lily pads they wander Shimmering reflecting all the colors leaves them floating on the water Behind a mask of leaves talking to mugpies Suffer a deep longing in their absence Been cloud-popping in a dream With an armor so thin it couldn’t hide the wings So many things fit in a tear Now with you in my rear view Everything fades to gloom Bounces like a rubber ball Then frozen in place ‘til dawn and undercover He left a kiss under a rock along with things he keeps hidden from sunlight Among shoelaces he has taken From the girls that gather daisies in the summer Where the breeze wakes up the leaves of long past falls and turns them into dancers Forces that created universes Say there’s more wisdom in their dance than in those pages Breathe life in, now breathe it in the stillness of the wind

Trees 04:09
lyrics

If you love me take me to the woods If you love me take me to the trees If you love me take me where the sky is blue If you love me, set me free Lay on the grass the wind yearns to touch and wave time goodbye How will I survive with no flowers in sight? It burns to see you blind If you love me take me to the woods If you love me take me to the trees If you love me take me where the sky is blue If you love me, set me free Birds, what’d I do in this cage without you Your song lets me know trees are not just a dream Friends, you have grown roots in my mind I carry your swaying with me, Here inside. If you love me take me to the woods If you love me take me to the trees
