afuture-moose Found it via a random music hunt in band camp, and just loved it there and then, oddly now listening to Cypruss Island while on the Island of Cyprus, in the med enjoying a short break on the east coast. Favorite track: Cypress Island.

if i’m giving up right at the start it’s cuz i now myself i know this heart and yet hardly at all seems i know hardly at all well the land lies low where waters rise and she kneels before the test of time Louisiana parish lines i cross them just to clear my mind but when the light burns low and the night draws near is it not love that drives out fear? when the bottom falls out from underneath is it not the truth that sets us free? then i saw the way the heron flew over Cypress Island early June in the world of things that i might do if i didn’t fear i had so much to lose but when the light burns low and the night draws near is it not love that drives out fear? when the bottom falls out from underneath is it not the truth that sets us free? i’ve been losing what i know where the rubber meets the road i headed South four years ago wasn’t sure which way to go now i can’t explain the things i’m holding a song to sing before too long and i can’t contain this vast unfolding that’s gathered in the break of dawn. when the light burns low and the night draws near is it not love that drives out fear? when the bottom falls out from underneath is it not the truth that sets us free? i’ve been losing what i know where the rubber meets the road i headed South 'cross the Ohio wasn’t sure which way to go but when the light burns low and the night draws near is it not love that drives out fear? when the bottom falls out from underneath is it not the truth that sets us free?

parti sur un voyage suivant l’étoile du nord j’aurai mon équipage pour quand j’arrive au port s’il faut riser les voiles mon dieu, quel triste sort ! vous prierez dieu, ma belle pour que j’arrive au port quand tu seras dans les îles les îles très éloignées il y aura des italiennes qui sauront te charmer et moi la malheureuse je serai bien délaissée ! car l’amour est trompeuse quand on est éloigné mon amie, ma douce amie souviens-toi ce que je t’ai promis avant de partir je vais te le redire: sois-moi fidèle et sage conserve-moi ton coeur au retour du voyage je ferai ton bonheur

in the winter’s thaw it’s like a final straw steps right in like a fatal flaw and it melts the waters we can no longer hold not as we were not in that mold fear traded freedom for a stalemate and we held each other in an icy phase now it melts away it melts away not of my choosing but the spring will have its way and there’s nothing here to hold me down could it be that there’s a higher ground? there’s nothing here to hold me down we have made no promises no vows where this unwinds is where the morning’s light cuts right through my fondest night and it floods the valleys we can no longer go to the places we call home fear traded freedom for a stalemate and we held each other in an icy phase now it melts away it melts away not of my choosing but the spring will have its way and there’s nothing here to hold me down could it be that there’s a higher ground? there’s nothing here to hold me down we have made no promises no vows
