about

This is the first time I ever played a violin.

lyrics

As I float through the darkness
On sounds, unencumbered
By the sighted world that hovers below,
I See it All; i can see nothing at all.

Now I sit still and silent,
On the very edge of motion,
Not sleeping, not thinking, just echoing.
I Hear it All, when i say nothing at all.


And if you really know me,
Then you won''t forget me
When the light stops shining on my face.

And when the earth and the sun
They finally do collide,
You''ll feel that gentle pull on your fate,
And you''ll finally take your place.


My instincts have been reacting
To the world quite slowly,
And I fear I''ve been losing my ground.
But I Know it All, in that i know nothing at all.

So now I wait for a letter
That''s coming to me,
She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope.
I Hold it All; i hold onto nothing at all.

I Am All; i am nothing at all.


The moon stands proud of its golden ego,
Traces rings ''round itself in the sky.
I lie face up in the dust, and I don''t wonder why.

I just close my eyes, sing the song of rain.
