lyrics
Seems my luck is in today,
mournful ways soon to change
and the worries in my head drift away.
Life won't flicker around, this ain't like me.
Wake eyes, come into my hollow walls.
Shame and lies, I won't feel nothing at all.
Wake the dark and lightest skies,
no hint of sighs or crash of tides and down.
Seems I've woken from my sleep,
I'm no fool I'm no creep.
Banish dreams that bring you down way too deep.
Life won't flicker around, this ain't like me.
Wake eyes, come into my hollow walls.
Shame and lies, I won't feel nothing at all
Wake the dark and lightest skies,
no hint of sighs or crash of tides and down.
Move away and move around,
You're running of ways to drown.
I want to share the fortunes in my mind,
I want to see you mine.
mournful ways soon to change
and the worries in my head drift away.
Life won't flicker around, this ain't like me.
Wake eyes, come into my hollow walls.
Shame and lies, I won't feel nothing at all.
Wake the dark and lightest skies,
no hint of sighs or crash of tides and down.
Seems I've woken from my sleep,
I'm no fool I'm no creep.
Banish dreams that bring you down way too deep.
Life won't flicker around, this ain't like me.
Wake eyes, come into my hollow walls.
Shame and lies, I won't feel nothing at all
Wake the dark and lightest skies,
no hint of sighs or crash of tides and down.
Move away and move around,
You're running of ways to drown.
I want to share the fortunes in my mind,
I want to see you mine.

about
Ross John Martin Cambridge, UK
RJM plays beautiful, intricate and textural acoustic music. Like Nick Drake jamming on Becks Sea Change
album.
Songs that are sad, strange and soulful.
Overcoming odds
and an awakening of the soul are an ever present theme.
