BURN LYRICS

BURN feat- Noah Lembersky
(lyrics A. Shankar, N. Peralta)


Dancing on the tip of the evening moon
Presious kiss
this moment silver lips
and gentle love

Out on the edge of an unknown world
not alone
I see you , feel you
Dance with me

Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
(search with me amongst the stars, amongst the trees)

Falling pieces of a broken moon
burn the sun
Transparent moments
I'm loved by you

Out on the edge of an unknown world
not alone
I see you , feel you
Dance with me

Your eyes close around me
and I am lost ,I am lost
Your eyes close around me
and I am home, I am home

SEA DREAMER LYRICS
Category: Music

SEA DREAMER feat Sting
lyrics by K.Kale , A.Shankar

Same tide that drew me closer
Pushed me far away
Heald the hand the lit the dark night
Then with nothing I could say

I was on the outside
I was waiting for a sign
I set a coarse for a hidden island
That lay beyond the decieving silence
I was on the darkside
I was sailing towards the light
I made my way through a sea of sirens
I pirates lot full of worthless diamonds

I try and listen to the music
when the ocean breathes
Wish that I could build a bridge
across the sea
And the secrets of the moonlight
would carry me
Where the sun meets the water
and the sky breaks free
thats where i'll be

Same sign that drew me closer
Jealous howling wind
the memory of the safest shorline
never find again

I was on the outside
I was waiting for the right
I made my way though a sea of violence
But you never heard me scream in silence
I was on the darkside
I was sailing through the night
Im playing cards at the devils table
I lost my hand to a hand less stable

Every time I hear the music
when the ocean breathes
Wish that I could build a bridge
across the sea
And the secrets of the moonlight
would carry me
Where the sun meets the water
and the sky breaks free
Is that where youll be

Ill be on the outside
Far beyond the rising tide
Where youll be searching far and wide
for what you lost along the ride
When you sail to find me
Let the wind remind thee
Of a shipwrecked sailer
that was saved by a maiden
and sent out to sea

thats where Ill be
a million million miles away
sea dreamer till my dying day..
