南方的女王 － 尧十三 (cover)
南方的女王 － 尧十三 (cover)digging this song lyrics: 风声干枯了发疯的人 画笔变得不完整 我化为了你的影子 仿佛没有那么悲伤 你在夕阳里渐渐柔软 带来了我的世界 我拾起一些时光 做成你过冬的衣裳 我会轻轻拍掉身上的雨 把我的家交托给你 你飞过高山和河流 醉倒在我怀中 可是亲爱的梦还在路上 跌跌撞撞匆匆忙忙 你撕开了黑夜哭了愿望 眼泪装满了我的胸膛 我的手会越来越老 可是你会变得年轻 年轮只在我身上流过 却对你手下留情 我们点起火把烧死爱情 从此义无反顾一无所有 我会用最美的画框 装起二十年后你的模样

Sharp Blade of Winter
Sharp Blade of WinterLyrics: I haven't seen you since the end of December And summer's now bearing its teeth Our paths drew apart as the sharp blade of winter Was slowly returned to its sheathe Your hair is shorter, your beard is shorn But deep are the lines on your face It seems to keep up with the fast changing times You felt you must quicken your pace Old friend, you are older still Than the land worn away by the tides Yet still you are younger than new buds of spring And your voice when sought out runs and hides

Ten Thousand Things (demo)
Ten Thousand Things (demo)Lyrics: All the time I overlooked, Where faces tear apart when they should be whole And moments rarely stick around, some even stay too long The stains of the passing night All stink of last night’s wine and tomorrow’s chores Raise me on a thousand lies, I’ll overdose on truth Truth I’d swear on my alibis, what if they’re lying too? Oh my dear, it’s time I let you know That which is above is as that which is below Oh my dear, don’t you know All that is above is as all that is below Come this time next week, I’ll have less to tell myself Come this time next year I’ll have less again Come the plastic smiles, come the biting steel Come the need for change, come the spinning wheel Ten thousand paper cups blown across the sand Ten thousand paper heads placing bets on where they’ll land The ten thousand things blending vital breaths They bear the darkness on their back and they bear light on their chests

The Bloody Sun (demo)
The Bloody Sun (demo)wrote this song using some stanzas from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge with my trusty resonator tuned to DADGAD Lyrics: All in a hot and copper sky The bloody sun at noon Right up above the mast did stand No bigger than the moon Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down 'Twas sad as sad could be And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea Day after day, day after day We stuck, nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean About, about, in reel and rout The death-fires danced at night The water, like a witch's oils Burnt green and blue and white The bloody sun, I pass like night from land to land Farewell, farewell, and this I tell to man and bird and beast All are blind 'neath the bloody sun
