ALCYONE
(JP Mercier/JP Mercier)
I didn’t know what I was in for
When I watched you being born
I never knew why I was here for
Before I held you in my arms
As spring came crying through the door
There you were dreamed and sown
Then carved out of a star
And fate would paint you as a dancer
Long before you could walk
As graceful as a flight of birds,
Above the sea, below the storm
Beware, the mewing slows before it stops
Believe me, you’d rather have no heart
Than feel one break apart
I can’t let go…
Of the stares you give me
With those big blue eyes
You fire when I’m wrong
I can’t let go…
Of the smiles you brake in
When you stretch your hand
To tell me I belong
I can’t let go, no…
My god, spring flew by like a summer!
You’ve grown up my love, now, you go on
I can’t hold you back any longer
Too soon you’ll learn that on your own
Don’t mind an old heartbroken bag of bones
So ill equipped to die alone
I can’t let go…
Of the stares you give me
With those big blue eyes
You fire when I’m wrong
I can’t let go…
Of the smiles you brake in
When you stretch your hand
To tell me I belong
I can’t let go, no…

IN FALL
(JP Mercier/JP Mercier)
God it’s late and you’re still
Dotting a line
Where I’ll sing on a deal
You shiver up my spine
Each autumn more cruel
I can never outrun
An incoming winter
Or could you spare me this one?
I am fighting this war for you
Whether or not you knew
But I fear now, it can never be won
I’m ripe and I’m ill
Come on, throw me a line
That sweet Faustian deal
Now, I’m ready to sign
I am fighting this war for you
Whether or not you knew
But I fear now, it can never be won

HoS could probably be the biggest small and unknown independent band in the world! :D
