As you close your eyes
From the water
A golden light wanders with the birds
Where have you been
What have you seen
All the peace when you come following
I'll tell you it's worth it all
On my icy rim
Behind your golden eyelids
Are drops of your hair
Oh, but your tears
That your cancer's fade
On the source of it
On your voice sings rain

My twins were born
Far too early
Called out and laid in our bed of heat
Lead me from this dark house
With your bold fingers
Turn this wicked toxin into a golden church
Please tell me it's worth it all
On your heart beats rain
Behind your golden eyelids
Float with birds in your hair
Oh, no words
That your mouth left unread
Oh my arms are your bed
Your heart beats red

You have such a good heart
For wondering
All the peace when I come following?
You told me it's worth it all
On my icy rain
Worn behind your golden eyelids
Beyond the last words you said
Oh, I followed
On my float away kids
Let your arms be our bed
And my eyes see red

She looks like the adult version of the girl on the banned Blind Faith cover from 1969 {#Cheesygrin}

The story about Ari Picker's mother (the woman on the cover) makes the song a lot more personal and powerful:

After hearing some songs from this CD I bought it. It's a bit of a quirky, thematic CD with an interesting back story. Still digesting and absorbing it. If you are looking for something off the beaten path, check it out.

A beautiful song. Truly beautiful and yet heartbreaking too.

Quite a lovely tune - from a local band; I wonder who uploaded it.  I thought that woman on the cover looked somehow familiar - interesting story. 

 
Thank you Mr. P
for me that story adds to the depth of their music

Mustn't have listened enough lately. Didn't hear this at all yet. Very interesting.
Hope to hear it again, so I can see if I want to bump it from 7 to 8.

Doesn't do anything for me even after repeated listenings.....

Used to be this one flipped from 5 to 6 and back. Now, most days it's a 6, but this morning - it just struck the right chord and made a 7.

No, I guess you're not local; good job.  {#High-five} 
Friends of mine had been telling me about this band for a while, but I was not familiar with their material until this album.
 

NPR's All Songs Considered raved about this band when their last CD/Album came out. There's some good stuff on that one as well, as I recall.
