Two Suns

Bat For Lashes Two Suns Lyrics
1.Glass

I will rise now
And go about the city
In the street's
Broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth

Went over the sea
What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour

And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the beam
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride


2.Sleep Alone

You know my darling I can't stand to sleep alone
No sweetheart in the dark to call my own
You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can grow
But the darkness is a stranger in our lonely, lonely, lone.

Last night's parties and last nights horrorshow
Smiling and welling and kissing all I know
Give my soul, give my soul, sing it free across the sea
Lonely spell to conjure but conjure hell is all I do

Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream
Lonely, loney, loney, his mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream

They say for every heart high there must be a low, low, low, low
And with every sun ascending a lonesome moon will grow, grow,
grow, grow
Drive my heart, drive my heart, into the fire of a burning
heart's desire
The only spells you'll be seeing, do you hear me coming in my
blue dream

Lonely, loney, loney, cos my mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream
Lonely, loney, loney, cos my mother told me
The dream of love is a two hearted dream


3.Moon And Moon

Lover, when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress for a husband lost at sea
If I had you here
Better here together
I'd be boy and you'd be girl
Beautiful

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll drag me to your door
And I won't see you no more

When this wild world
Is a big bad hand
Pushing on my back
Do you understand?
When I get home
Down in the jungle
Where's my bear to lick me clean?
Feed my soul milk and honey

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll drag me to your door
And I won't see you no more
I won't see you no more


4.Daniel

Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under under our blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We'll never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Crying took me to the darkest place
And you have set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark
Daniel
To a place that's worst
Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our love the tears crept
Just catch in the eye of the storm

And as my heart ran round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark
Daniel
To a place that's worst
Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

When I run in the dark
Daniel
To a place that's worst
Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home


5.Peace Of Mind

Lyricist:Bat For Lashes
Writer(s):Bat For Lashes


Peace of Mind

Look at this and look at us
We wonder,oh, we're wandering
And I don't like to say we're lost
Try my best with leading us

Build a ladder to the sky
Sit up there and say 'Oh my!
Does looking down make me a Queen?
With all the sorrow that I've seen'

And if I ever get back down...
Find a map that takes me back
Through the wounded, through the wars
To a time that came before

To hover-board into the Sun
And bring back when my time is done
A mother for this childless world
And an arrow of light for
every boy and girl

And peace of mind...
Peace of mind...
Peace of mind...
Peace of mind...
Peace of mind...
Peace of mind...
Peace of mind...


6.Siren Song

are you my family?
can i stay with you a while?
can i stop off in your bed tonight?
i could make you smile.
in the morning i'll make you breakfast
in the evening i'll warm the bed.
and i'll always be happy to kiss you
promise i'll never get sad.
till the siren come calling, calling
it's driving me evil, evil.
i was a heartbreaker, i loved you
the same way i do.
i've got so much wickedness and sin.
my name is pearl and i'll love you
the best way i know how
my blonde curls slice through your heart.
and the siren come calling
in the night
till the light.

help you dress yourself up fancy
bathe you when you get sore
i'll be good, i think i could
be all you would want and more and more.
be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
glitter your eyes for the town
tell every last boy that you're my man
try not to let you down.
till the siren come calling, calling
it's driving me evil, evil.
i was a heartbreaker, i loved you
the same way i do.
i've got so much wickedness and sin.

my name is pearl and i'll love you
the best way i know how
my blonde curls slice through your heart.
and the stars are exploding the lights
it won't be long until you'll be mine
it won't be long until you leave
it won't be long until i'll see your face
it won't be long to erase your pain
cause i'm evil, evil...


7.Pearl's Dream

there's a place i must go
there's a place i must go
it's not a place i have seen
but i'll get there in a new dream
down an ocean road
past a sign that says 'good love town'
into a darkness where the stars do drown
where the starry me needs to be free

and when the battle was done
i was promised my son
but with a thousand (k)nights gone
to any kingdom i run
and when the battle was done
i was promised my son
but with a thousand (k)nights gone
to any kingdom i run

there's a place i must go
there's a place i must go
for my heart is a child
that stumbles lonely for the arms of a bride
hear the desert sigh
sing the city's lullaby
the giant iris of the wide blue sky
showing me the way

and when the battle was done
i was promised my son
but with a thousand (k)nights gone
to any kingdom i run
and when the battle was done
i was promised my son
but with a thousand (k)nights gone
to any kingdom i run

you know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
had a big machine riding your shoulders
you know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
had a big machine riding your shoulders
you know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
had a big machine riding your shoulders


8.Good Love

in the night time we are found
misty sorrow swoop unbound
whisper you mean it, say you'll stay
hold my heart till brighter days
now i am searching
this queen of heart's dancing on her throne
but i need sorrow, baby, life's sorrow is the drug
so will i ever find that place they call good love?
good love
passed it last night in a dream
good love
and my heart caught fire
i drove past true love once, in a dream
like a house that caught fire, it burned and flamed
then the magician disappeared as quickly as he came
and with a sound like white magic caught in a black car's
blazing trail
the house set fire to my heart
like an inferno we shone rays
i swallowed the sun in your form
i woke up and you were crying
i woke up and you were saying
good love
passed it last night in a dream
good love
cause my heart caught fire
good love
passed it last night in a dream
good love
cause my heart caught fire


9.Two Planets

Show me moonlight on the sunrise
I've seen so many planets dancing
I've seen too many people hiding
Show me sunset and I won't forget

That I am one of two planets dancing
I am part of two planets dancing
Shallow men, sign your name on my sun
The son of Solomon died in the battleground
The son of Solomon died in love's battleground

I am far shattered by these sinning times
For all your suffering by night
.....
Life is so much dark and light
Day can not exist without a night
And you should not slip away from me
I have a heart that's full of light to be shared
On this night,feel my hands,
feel my love for the sun and the stars of my mother and my
sisters
I know where the funny is changing,
I know that the stars will follow on from me


10.Travelling Woman

Hang on travelling woman dont sacrifice your plan
Cos it will come back to you before you lose it on the man
Never fall in love with potential cos you can't see with your
own eyes
All the pretty faces and sorry words can take away your pride
Got to listen to the vision
Some may say a dream, words from the unseen

They can make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall
Make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall
Make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall

Hang on travelling woman, dont sacrifice your plan
Cos it will come back to you before you lose it on the man
Got to listen to the vision
Play in the ashes of what you once were
Got to listen to the vision
Play in the ashes of what you once were


11.The Big Sleep

How can it be the last show?
(How can it?)
How can it be the last show?
(How can it?)

No more spotlights coming down from heaven
It's a goodbye, it's curtains double time
Not even out of my dress
And already my voice is fading
Goodbye my dears and into the big sleep
