A scene is sown and set for thee A port appearing out of fog and scree A maiden voyage across the sea A feeble barge shall be the escapee A crumbling crown decried the wave A tide untied and led to its grave A sundown covered what the day gave A lullaby to lull and lave And rise and fall And short and tall And wax and wane And work and gain A wink of Aegean’s hand A shift and harsher gales land A whim and oceans expand A swarm of waves at his command A multitude of mornings arise A panoply of plans dies A myriad of marking and tries A horde of hurdles materialise A wind, a whirl, a wave, a wall A storm, a stone, a strike, a stall

Boundless 03:14
Before the field settles Bright in snow Before the wind's combing Boundless Basins of grasses and circles Basins of children of streams Bring them hope and Bring them home to me Before distances increase Brighten up Because when all settles Before our eyes it settles down Before our eyes the way will part Before our eyes a valley grows Before our eyes lies a new start Before our eyes, before our eyes Before our eyes, before our eyes Before our eyes, before our eyes Before our eyes, before our eyes Before our eyes it settles down Before our eyes the way will part Before our eyes a valley grows Before our eyes lies a new start Bring them hope and Bring them home to me Before we leave this harbour Bright with gold Be sure we'll meet someday Boundless Boundless... Bring them hope and Bring them home...

Drape the net all over the land Drape the net all over the land Down and out Down and out Down and out on the land Don't fall back Don't fall back Don't fall back to us Dust the time off your hand Dust the time off your hand Down and off Down and off Down and off, off your hand Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back to us Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back to us

Feel My Hand 04:17
Friend-- Feel my hand Firmly reach out to you For it is time to Finally set aside Feuds that persist to abide Feel my hand Foe-- Feel my hand go Firmly to reach out to you For it is time to Finally set aside Feuds that persist to abide Feel my hand Feel my hand Feel my hand Feel my hand Feel my hand

Gone the sounds Gone the noise Good to hear you're here with me Good to see you sail with me Guide us Guide us to the edge of the light
8.
Hold on tight lest you fall Hold on to the rail that guides all Home to the sounds Halfway past the bounds Hold on tight, tomorrow Holds another light to borrow Hoarding it in time Harvesting the chime Hold me when I fall fast Hold me when I fall far Hope is a hand Hand in the dark How pleasant to see you Harbinger of snow Have you camped out Hiding out to grow? How far have you come now Harbinger of snow? Have you arrived? Heard the jaunt is slow Harbinger where are you hiding? Here and now the rugs of wheat Have been trapped beneath a white sheet Hope is a hand Hand in the dark Hope is a hand Hand, hand in the dark

about

For a while I had the idea to make an album that featured predominantly vocal parts and a minimal set of additional instruments. The first time the plans materialised to something more concrete was when I saw and heard the song played during the middle section of the movie “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”. Over the months of writing the songs, the mood shifted gradually, so the result is quite far from that track of the movie soundtrack.
