I see your eyes light up like fire
It's medicine to me
But as the hunted live their lives
You're keeping out of reach

So I keep running, falling
Till I reach the water
Run with me holyman
But when I reach out
I find I'm standing right beside her
Now we're living
Blessed with all the thunder in the world

Now, should you ask me to come home
To wake up from the sleep
Like a boat inside a storm
Is there no hope for me?

So I keep running, falling
Wade into the water
Run with me riverman
But when I reach out
I find I'm standing right beside her
Now we're living
Blessed with all the thunder in the world

David Sylvians collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto is brilliant. Brilliant Trees. Check it out.

I think his music would be better without the singing and could be the instrumental soundtrack for the next Blade Runner movie.

Wow, very little air play. I like it, especially the sax.

Is this what is meant by "shoegazer" music? It seems like ambient trance music, for falling asleep to or getting stoned to. There is a place for that kind of music. I prefer rock myself.
