lyrics

ravens have flown out of your hair
silver moon is sparkling bright and fair
our hands have been through many a storm
their touch still is soft and warm

the twinkle in your eyes is still there
i can read it tween the lines loud and clear
our feet have walked many a mile
didn´t know, how much i missed your smile

it´s a long, long, long roll
keeping together your body and soul
i´ve seen so many people grow mean and cold
can be a drag getting old

the dance in your stride may have slowed down
underneath your worn coat i still see aphrodites gown
our hearts have been through many an exchange
some below, some far beyond their range

it´s a long, long, long ride
keeping together your wits and pride
i´ve seen so many people giving in
like there´s no beginning again

but, it´s along, long, long roll
keeping together your body and soul
i´ve seen so many people snap and break
sometimes it really is too late

about

The Sunmoth Giessen, Germany

The Nymph only could repeat, the Beloved were transfixed on their reflection. Quite tragic really - quite funny, too.
Krautrock, Americana - who cares: all of it is music.
