I watch the rain, grey skies today I sleep alone, wrapped inside this dream Outside, people walk in silence As water falls upon the earth I step outside into the garden Kneeling down in silent prayer I hear the trees, hissing echoes The leaves are falling on the pavement I see dark birds against the sky I watch as reason now deserts me I shed my skin and fade away
2.
Autumn falls, winter comes again Memories call, time’s true silent friend Yesterday, just like yesterday Hazy days, like a blinding sun Useless days, change is never done Yesterday, feels like yesterday

Evening 04:04
“It’s my time of the evening”, that’s what the woman said Her face was black as midnight, against the sky so red Just another shadow, walking out of town Soaking in the horror, as the sun went down The town hall clock was shining, shining like the moon Floating through the treetops, like a lost balloon Someone’s in the darkness, calling through the trees Wailing like a baby, on the falling breeze
4.
Leaves 04:15
When leaves fall, swirling through the land They’re passing softly through my hands When birds call, swirling as they fly Their wings form ribbons in the sky The cold air, filled with smoke and rain I walk there, lost in endless change
5.
Walk on through falling snow Find the words, can’t find the words Years roll by, that’s all I know Find the time, can’t find the time Lesson learned, carry on Can’t let go, won’t let go Emptiness, my true friend Love is gone, let it go...

The Watchers 04:20
We’re the ancient lights We’re aware of everything Wrapped in cold moonlight Through the darkest hours we sing We’re afraid of life We’re afraid of everything Riding through the night On the wings of darkest birds

Birds Asleep 03:40
8.
Never care, for when you do You’ll wear the chains and follow the rules Of love’s dark game, of love’s dark game - of tears and rain Cut out your heart and throw it to the dogs Better this than to face the loss In love’s dark game, in love’s dark game - of tears and rain Her voice cuts my throat with a knife Her words crush my soul in a vice In love’s dark game, in love’s dark game - of tears and rain I will lock the windows and the doors Put out the light and feel no more...

Aliénor 05:40
The morning sun rises - Aliénor The angels protect you - Aliénor Sleeping in silence - Aliénor Night halos surround you - Aliénor Birds whisper your name - Aliénor A gift from the stars - Aliénor

Routine 04:32
Rising in the morning, face another day Mind and body aching, feeling cold and grey Sun shines through the window, glowing on the wall Changing by the hour, drifting patterns fall Searching for the beauty, the world has lost its charm Waiting for an angel, to fall into her arms Lead me to the places where the bright leaves fall Far beyond the mountains where the blackbirds call
12.
My Weakness 05:57
I’m in love with the pain inside The deepest love of my life I’m married to the pain inside The deepest love of my life I’ll always feel my pain inside I hold her close to my soul I’ll never let this angel go The deepest love of my life

about

Originally released as a CD by Tursa through Cold Spring in 2010 (TURSA101).

ARTIST STATEMENT:

"Ghost Years" is my first retrospective CD featuring tracks from various compilations, vinyl-only releases plus some unreleased material. The focus is more on my vocal work, however there are a few instrumental pieces included as well. Although the music spans about a decade, I was surprised at how well the tracks flow together to make a coherent ensemble, evolving from my earlier song-oriented compositions to the more ambient nature of my recent recordings.
