it's been very long since i last took a photo. :(
i was thinking which lyrics to post. so this was my decision. listen along to it if this song is conveniently implanted onto your friendly pc/mac. :)
Water Night
Eric Whitacre, original lyrics by Octavio Paz
night with the eyes of a horse that trembles in the night.
night with eyes of water in the field asleep is in your eyes
a horse that trembles is in your eyes of secret water
eyes of shadow water
eyes of well water
eyes of dream water
silence and solitude
two little animals moon-led
drink in your eyes
drink in those waters
if you open your eyes night opens doors of mask
the secret kingdom of the water opens flowing from the centre of the night
and if you close your eyes
a river, a silent and beautiful current fills you from within
flows forward, forward
darkens you
night brings its wetness to beaches in your soul.
