Lyrics:
When I was young and I was barely free
Just a boy upon my mother’s knee
Was that the wind howling through the trees
Or was that you
Calling to me
Calling to me
You showed me where the candle flame was black
I said oh babe I never noticed that
And with your breasts pressed against my back
You were
Laughing in the bath
Laughing in the bath
Take a look at this face of mine
Is it cool? Is it crystalline?
Or a pale imitation
A new tessellation
Tell me what you see
Moondog, you’re all I need
My mind keeps circling back to you
Like the universe just begs me to
What frightens me is what frightens you
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
I’m breaking free with a deeper will
The one I seek is a seeker still
Always reaching
Never teaching
I know nothing who am I to instruct
Moondog, you’re outta luck
Sometimes there’s magic, sometimes it’s hid
Half of magic is just hiding
I was loved you just didn’t know I did
One day I just left the light in
It was a barnburner in Galena, Illinois
Fate hit me like a bolt of lightning
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
It’s my life and I’m living in it
Sometimes there’s magic, sometimes it’s hid
Half of magic is just hiding

Thank you Leif (Leifur) for this song, wow, it hit me in the heart on the first bars. The voice is so open and naked. The arrangement fits perfectly, subtle and beautiful. The video is awesome, so simple, so powerful, the rain and the hand gesture at the end is just so much Leif. I look forward to the new material. Keep on making music from the heart .
