lyrics
do you remember your beguiling,
do you remember the ball,
the extraordinary sundays
after the curtain call..
in a field of willows weeping
where you awoke my skin
and i would kiss your lustre
in a world unraveling,
filling my enchantment with all the reasons to believe
all the poets' fantasies
were ours alone to breathe.
do you remember falling victim
to the mediocre dream,
a tale of two cities
left to burn away with me..
do you remember your beguiling,
do you remember mine,
the extraordinary sundays
left to line the graves of time.
do you remember the ball,
the extraordinary sundays
after the curtain call..
in a field of willows weeping
where you awoke my skin
and i would kiss your lustre
in a world unraveling,
filling my enchantment with all the reasons to believe
all the poets' fantasies
were ours alone to breathe.
do you remember falling victim
to the mediocre dream,
a tale of two cities
left to burn away with me..
do you remember your beguiling,
do you remember mine,
the extraordinary sundays
left to line the graves of time.

It's like being swept on a transcendent journey, where the soaring melodies lift you into a realm of pure escape, embodying a sense of flying away from the mundane. Each note weaves a tapestry of eternal sorrow and compassion, an exquisite balance of sadness and joy that echoes the complex emotions of life itself.

Deep, interesting, strong and emotional. Just a great work. Liz Harris will always have something strong, special and surprising in the best artistic way.
