lyrics

Lover, only haunt me always
The voice set calling down a stream
Beneath a hollow arching wall of
Stone where we untimely seem
Visited with sense-impressions
Ghosts pervade, you chill my flesh
Wherever it lies shaking.
Test the courage of that tender mesh

Celebrated stars turned timid
Eyes behind a veil of mists
Parting deep in soundless distance
Pining for a wind that lists
Toward a sail of linen angled
Tautly to receive the blast
Let that wind bear down and tangle
Starry tendrils, pin them fast

All your rising whispers
Little drifts of magic, hidden where
These maker’s moanings merge in self-abandon
Find me wanting there
Haunting, you are coming closer
Moving through our breath in song
To be together with the hum
Of flesh and blood in love and long
Imagination, touching upright
Music through its skin of star-
And moonlight. Haunt me. Make the lovesick
Moan to me the ghost you are

As what seems hollow stone
Our spirits’ threshold singing
Shuddering to receive
The body-beauty’s wedding ring

This is a really haunting folk album. Bobin's vocals in combination with the beautiful melodies and arrangements create a relaxed mood that is tranquil and straightforward at the same time. Eissturmvogel
