about

feat. ali rojek

lyrics

i slip into the drawing room, it contains a bookcase
i slip into the drawing room, it contains a bookcase

i sit by the window
i sit by the window
in between the curtain and the stone
i am alone

i sit by the window
i sit by the window
in between the pages of my book
i am alone

i press my hand to the cold glass
protecting me from the storm
how i long to stay at the window
i return to my book

i see the frost and snow
i see the rocks below
i see solitary landscapes
i see fields of wildflowers
i see theifs fighting
i see ships on a torpid sea
i see sparrows flying
i see the sun on a summer afternoon
i see the sand of an island beach
i see the alpine earth covered in trees

i wish i could go
i wish i could go alone
i wish i could go
i wish i could go alone
with the page, child as i was/i am
i can feel the wind, on my skin
the air of a different place
fills my lungs

and i am happy
and i fear nothing
and i am happy
and i fear nothing
and i am happy
and i fear nothing
and i am happy
and i fear nothing
i am happy
i fear nothing
i am happy
i fear nothing nothing
