Tides by Tarot, on Crows Fly Black

Oh, I see your face as if in a dream.
Eyes where the shadows drown.
Frozen in a frown.
And I feel like paper burning free.
The wind is shattering me.
I'm the sky, I'm the sea.

Walk for now.
Endless days alive somehow.

Staring, dreaming, cold rain, skin steaming.
Just some fog in my eyes.
Tides in my blood follow the pale moon
drawing my soul to the skies.

Standing here, where a dream once had a home.
Emptiness now calls,
where hope crumbled with the walls.
And I feel like dust, lighter than air.
Winged by the smallest prayer.
Destination anywhere.

Walk for now.
Endless days alive somehow.
Keeping pace.

Staring, dreaming, cold rain, skin steaming.
Just some fog in my eyes.
Tides in my blood follow the pale moon
drawing my soul to the skies.

Stars, they're skywide, forever burn.
Scars, you carve deep, but never learn.


I just love this song. It's a slow, draggy song, and generally isn't typical of their music. I was so surprised to see it on their live album.

I was very disappointed to discover that they will not be performing at ProgPower next year. I'm saying that X will be my last but I'll break that if Glenn ever gets them to perform. Of course, the lead singer is also the bassist/male lead in Nightwish, and they're currently on tour and will be for who knows how long.

Nonetheless, it's bedtime. Early morning tomorrow, for DH's half-marathon. I totally regret committing to going, but that's only because it's going to be a cold fall morning! ;)
