about

The other old song. Clearly confused someone who asked me how I wrote 'worship songs' after an acoustic performance. Actually she was not too far off the mark as it remembers a journey into the rainforest, watching the circle of life turn and turn and feeling very very small. Guitars inspired by a love of late 80s shoe gazing.

lyrics

Life falls away just like the flowers and days fade away just like the sun.
Remember the day that we looked at flowers? Hopeful and humid, alone but for one.

So can't you see that all this really matters?
Don't you mean that we are just like flowers?
Don't you see that the flowers die so quickly so the circle turns completely?

They say that the eyes are the doorway to your soul.
In that case then your soul is deep as the sea.
We balance our days thought the low ebbs and high tides.
Afloat on the ocean, just cling on to me.

So can't you see that all this really matters?
Don't you mean that we are just like flowers?
Don't you see that the flowers die so quickly so the circle turns completely?

Give in to it now, just give in to it now.
Cling on to me now, just cling on to me now.

So can't you see that all this really matters?
Don't you mean that we are just like flowers?
Don't you see that the flowers die so quickly so the circle turns completely?
