lyrics

Apparition

I feel the rippling sands around me
And they burn through my feet
I grope through curtains of moonbeams
In a dark city street
It's all a matter of taste, dear
(Passengers on a boat)
I see you through a smudged window
On the waves do we float
It's true that you are my wasting
Waves are crashing on rocks
It's still ringing in my ear, love
Seagulls wheeling in flocks

I walk into a dark chamber
From the wind blowing wild
I fall into a deep slumber -
Seen through the eyes of a child
My ship is washed upon the strand, love
I hear faint sounds from the crew
I walk along the shore of dreams now
And I'm waiting for you

Till the sunrise clears away the misty field of dreams
Obscure phantoms shift and float in twilit fogs and steams
Scintillation grows from points well hidden in the gloom
You dissolve the veils of darkness, all begins to bloom
Apparition hov'ring closer, brightly deeply sighs
Enter into love so real, it dazzles half-shut eyes
Shaking, trembling through the fibers of your open limbs
Love is opening up your heart with sounds of lofty hymns

David T. Anderson: Vocals, guitar, and keyboards
PH: Vocals, drums, guitar, and keyboards
Chronos Chesterton: Keyboards, guitar
