lyrics

Folded wings folded
Soft shut eyes dozing
Now your mind is open

Every path leads to the dark
Until knotted and unseen
Faintly outlined with stars
We disappear into a dream

Folded wings folded
Curled up like steam
An eddy in a deep stream

I leave the back door open
If you take to returning
Behind veil of my screen
I leave a lantern burning

Folding wings unfolding
Like a bird in the night
Only the sound of flight
A whisper
That I can’t see
But hear so clearly

I woke up in a crazy state
As if inside a dream
The features of each strangers face
I had already seen

I felt the essence of my friends
In random shopkeepers and kids
I heard the laughter of your breath
On playgrounds and cafe decks

Folded wings folded
Soft shut eyes dozing
Now my mind is open
Oh how my mind is open
