Nature's Kingdom
Kirsty Hawkshaw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moon beauty
To live and to love
In delerious
Bitter gardens

The visions floods
Under the mind sky.
Night breaths,

Whispering symphony

After a blood sun storm
Love light relives.
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade

I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.

Sing a true moment
Recall a trip.
No language can heave through life
Like an ache, a sense, the blinding wind.

Making believe that if there's a sandstorm
You'll come and rescue me.
Help me find my way back to the waking world.
With a goddess and a dream

In sleep's misty shade
I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade

I'm going out to meet an old friend.
The desert knows we are strangers
Until the sands of time see through our eyes.
We could be lost, perhaps forever.

But there's space in the air
And it's ages till sunrise.
With a goddess and a dream
In sleep's misty shade

I lie beneath world's imaginary
With a goddess and a dream

In sleep's misty shade
I'm going out to meet an old friend.
