"Mikos" lyrics
Emilíana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra Lyrics
"Mikos"
I stand there silent
Your hair a halo in the water
Ribbons in the slipstream
Two ships eclipsed in the harbour
Your body 's moving strange
Left by the waves to sink
Your milky skin, your blue veins
I never told your mother
I kept my silence
I left you drifting to fall off the edge
Of the horizon
We're only passing through
Keeping on the move
Surrendered to such weathered scenes
Whatever was, whatever will be
Don't you keep me here
Just to have to watch you leave
Oh how we grew entwined
You gave me your name
I gave you mine
I never told your mother
I kept my silence
I left you drifting to fall off the edge
Of the horizon
I never told your mother
I kept my silence
I left you drifting to fall off the edge
Of the horizon

Júníus Meyvant - "Rise Up" All directions within
30 miles of catering
No sign of order
Your eyes up
You let it all hang out
And grab it all before the drought
With cold empty tubs
You gonna rise up
I play it well both ways

Beth Orton - "Forever Young" My love, don't you sing for me?
My love, won't you sing for me?
Am I not your poetry?
Then why don't you sing for me?
In the coliseum
Madness and reason
Laid out with the weight of snow
Come back...
Fever Ray - "What They Call Us" First I'd like to say that I'm sorry
I've done all the tricks that I can
Cinnamon bun in the oven
There's a fire in my hand
Did you see the light this morning?
Sometimes there's this extra air...
Rosie Thomas - "We Should Be Together" Man why did I let you leave me alone in summer
I should have known by fall I'd finally finish your sweater
And now it's lying here on my bed
At night I wrap the arms around my waist
Pretend it's you...
