1. I hold you in a sea of silence.......BLACKWATER

2. The sun shines high above the sounds of laughter..... SEPTEMBER

3. what happend here a butterfly has lost its wings the airs to thick to breathe and theres something in the drinking water......WORLD CITIZEN

[Despair]

You`re confiscatin transmission
Of liberty,no sympathy


Always feel its best to start where it all began

[suzannahsylvian]

"Degradation takes a soul potential
The woman ain't to blame, well" - Simply because his voice is lush!

"You do me wrong but I'm still crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can't live without you"

"When you come to me
I'll question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own?"

[ob8]

when you come to me
i'll question myself again
is this grip on life still my own ?

[suzannahsylvian]

when you come to me
i'll question myself again
is this grip on life still my own ?

WOOO SNAP

[digimarsh]

a summer house in Texas,
searching for siberia,
pioneering underground




i hear your voice ,way down inside
a wispering sea of towering trees
but no reply

Two of my favourites

[Dreadbear]

Here am I, A life time away for you.....

[proggrl]

Here am I, A life time away for you.....

*sigh*

[Blemished]

Voices heard in fields of green
Their joy, their calm and luxury
Are lost within the wonderings of my mind

Sometimes I feel I've been here forever
Sometime ago
Sometimes we sense the doubt together
Sometimes alone

There is always sunshine
above the grey sky
I will try to find it
Yes I will try

[Q Quarters]

The Unconventional: Take Position and love will take stand
That is the way it goes

Love Is Infectious: She keeps her patience for the bedroom
Should satisfy her for a week

Fall In Love With Me: A summerhouse in Texas
Searching For Siberia

[mynewcareer]

It's all behind me now/The work is done/We pull away from rivers/The light of a distant fire burns again

(Bit of a cheat, as those are all the lyrics. )

[Simonp]

Running like a horse between the trees / the ground beneath my feet / gives me something to hold onto

[Chet]

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal - I thought all I needed was to believe.
I recognise no method of living that I know - I see only the basic materials I may use.
I haul you in a sea of silence - On the borderline of truth, hope and violence.

[sakurafleur]

1.
strip the branches
unsheathe the hatchets
the threads of friendship
are coming off

2.
i never wanted to be on my own
i could be wrong
but i slipped away from home
and now i'm gone

3.
the wounds on your hand never seem to heal
i thought all i needed was to believe

[Lord Brett]

Two Sylvian lyrics which which haunt me:

"I'm waiting on the empty dock
Watching the ships rolls in.

I'm waiting for the agony to stop
And let the happiness in"

and

"Underneath a burning sun
There's always work to be done
We take much more than we care to give away"

Come to think of it, I've just realised that they are on either side of the Let the Happiness In 12 inch single!

EDIT: Do I have that last line of Let the Happiness In right?
