lyrics

Wave after wave wishes unspoken
Talks like a blowtorch Palms out and frozen
Who said it's easy language is losing
I swallow the steam and claim to be stupid
Nails on the threshold
Moon free don't make me the king of you
Past is a point behind the horizon
Bottom of the flame Burning the garden
Smiling on the threshold
Moon free don't make me the king of you
Well I'm a soldier for you frightened climbing Don't make me the king of you
Wave after wishes my boon companion
Talks to the frost but who will cheer the champion

There is something with Jeffs music that touches my heart. I really like his soloalbums. There are so stripped and bare. I can relate to his lyrics. Its like he is setting words to what I experience of living in this 2021 world. Love to you all. hans796
