lyrics

Young Girl

You’re a young girl
Lost your mother
Travelling on the road
Into sound
Sound is motion
Tell me your journey
I feel I already know

Young girl
Be my friend
You’re only in dimensions on this earth for so long
Before you back to the source
The source of everything

Your life is poetry
Your words are poetry to me
You make sense to me
You speak the truth and I hear it in my being
Just be a long time on your own
You´ll fix yourself
A long time alone is medicine
The natural will world will heal you
Heal you

Young girl

This morning I woke
My body in knots
My being tangled up
I looked at the Sun
Coming up over the mountain
Hot

It turned the pink of the dawn
Into the blasted blue sky of the Spring
Hot
Made the temperature in the room start vibrating
And I am in that room now
And I am in that room tomorrow

I twisted up my being
And it took me and it made me smooth
Thank you the dawn
Dawn

The dawn Is a doorway that you see through
You gotta be up to see
I know that you are seeing

Young girl
Living on your own too
Living up a mountain just like me
At least we got something to share when we meet

Feel nothing
And nothing is everything
You’re hearing nothing, nothing

Tell me again your story
Six years ago you set out on the road
Just instinct-intuition pulling you into forces of medicine
Natural medicine

It’ll fix you
It´ll take its time but you will be yourself again

The visuals have stopped a long time ago for me
But I still them in my eyes
I don’t know how its there but its there
Reality overlaid ontop of the one that’s mine

Hello again
I know you’re expecting me this time
This time

Things get confused I can’t tell half the time if its real or if its inside
Things seem the same out here

Its like being caught in a tidal wave turned purple
Washing all over your civilisation
Maybe it’ll clean you up
Maybe it’ll take your life
Gets kind of hard
To keep on going and stay alive

Young girl
Thinking of you
Thinking of you

And don’t need a shaman
I don’t need a shaman
I don’t need a doctor
I don’t need a doctor
I just need you to be real
Be real for me
Be real for me
