Night Signals
Solarstone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On and on they feed me and forever more
And now I wonder how we may go beyond us
Every word is stardust as we speak
Conceal me, hide me from my body
For it tries to haunt me, teach me to be whole
And this possession, turning to obsession
Listen to your name when you hear me calling.
I share your breath upon me softly
Pillows gently rock me, guide me as I sleep
And then you′ll find me, we will be together
Now until forever
Listen to your name when you hear me calling.
Prepare me strawberry vanilla
Happy ever after, that is all I need
I'll be longing for stories we imagine
Capture them for bad times we may meet
Listen to your name when you hear me calling.
