Blanket of Stars It’s past midnight, the sound of rain keeps me awake And I get lost in melodies, they’re all I need The night alive with traces of faces that I’ve seen And I imagine a… Blanket of stars to soothe me Let me walk on your steps to the heights of my dreams A blanket of stars to see me Where I’m naked and tremble in the depths of my seas I stop and I leave my thoughts to be a cradle in the dark My fears and memories they’re all I need And as this city takes over, and my restlessness grows Oh I imagine a… Blanket of stars to soothe me Let me walk on your steps to the heights of my dreams A blanket of stars to see me Where I’m naked and tremble in the depths of my seas

Baby Darling Blue Come here oh baby don’t you cry clouds will blow over sun will shine You and me under the stars tonight oh such a pretty sight Come here oh baby darling blue I know the dark that’s holding you no need to hide no need to proof just let it wash over you Hmmmmm I tell you my darling it’s all good just feel what you feel there are no should’s And out of the darkness light can shine I promise things will be fine I promise things will be fine

Cocoon 03:14
Cocoon It’s been a long day love Your eyes have seen enough As the crickets sing we know it’s time to follow the slumber song’s melody Cocooned in warm a golden white light caresses you to sleep the tide has returned to us for now we have seen enough As light as your laughter as soft as the morn the silvery moonlight it cloaks us in calm so sleep As the crickets sing we know it’s time to follow the slumber song’s melody Cocooned in warm a golden white light caresses you We know it’s time to follow the slumber song’s melody Cocooned in warm A golden white light caresses you hmmmm

Lie With Me 04:49
Lie With Me Like a child in the dark I stay up late Like a radio-wave A sirens parade Lie with me, lie with me tonight Lie with me, till all is bright Like I'm one of the stars Simon said I fly from Venus to Mars All from my bed Oh come here and lie with me, lie with me tonight Lie with me, lie with me till all is bright Like a falling leaf We search for ground The silence smothering me I need you around So come here and lie with me, lie with me tonight Lie with me, lie with me till all is bright
