AMELIA LYRICS

amelia, you’re waking my heart
i go near you when things come apart
hollow, is the way it goes
when the forest reflects your soul

could live in your aura
could live in your aura

all the morning songs
the forgotten ones
you worked yourself madly
try to reason with
inspiration comes between the porch
and light beams

walking in a winter sun
inverness moves our bones along
follow, a truth is near
you have voices someone should hear

could live in your aura
could live in your aura

long time ago we met
and i came to you above the bay
to watch the birds
coastal play and you were looking
for a teacher then

someone to say everything you fear
someone to closely listen

amelia, you’re waking my heart
i go near you when things come apart

could live in your aura
could live in your aura
