Mike Scott (Scottish musician)

“How long will I want you? As long as you want me to And longer by far”

“How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you And longer if I can”

“I spoke about wings you just flewI wondered I guessed and I tried you just knewI sighed but you swoonedI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moon”

“I was grounded while you filled the skiesI was dumbfounded by truth you cut through liesI saw the lone empty valley you saw BrigadoonI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moon”

“I pictured a rainbow you held it in your handsI had flashes but you saw the planI wandered out in the world for years you just stayed in your roomI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moon.”

“You're trying to make senseof something that you just don't seeYou're trying to make sense nowand you know you once held the keyBut that was the riverthis is the sea.”

“Once you were tetherednow you are freeThat was the riverthis is the sea.”

“The stars are alive and nights like thesewere born to be sanctified by you and me.”

“Come with me on a journey beneath the skinWe will look together for the Pan within.”

“I have drownedin the big seanow I find I'm still aliveAnd I'm coming up forevershadows all behind meecstacy to come”

“I have heard the big musicand I'll never be the samesomething so purejust called my name.”

“A metaphor for seeing God's signature in the world.”
