lyrics

i wanted to say something beautiful and strange
but the color of my eyes turned black
i wanted to say something beautiful and strange
but the color of my eyes turned black

so i drew it on the board when i got the first call
i washed my hair after a couple of days
it doesn't matter my life's kinda simple
i have no words to describe this place

i never talk now i want me to talk
but i lost my voice
this is what i've got songs for
can you hear me now or not?
you don't owe me anything but i owe you the world
let me see if i can pull out the roots
i'm like a dog digging in the ground
what are people gonna think
i'm not the girl from their dreams
anymore
anymore
anymore
anymore

i wanted to say something beautiful and strange
but the color of my eyes turned black
i wanted to say something beautiful and strange
but the color of my eyes turned black

so i drew it on the board when i got the first call
i washed my hair after a couple of days
it doesn't matter my life's kinda simple
i have no words to describe this place

went outside down to the river
spent there several hours waiting
yellow trees and purple colors
counting stars they're slowly fading

went outside down to the river
spent there several hours waiting
yellow trees and purple colors
counting stars they're slowly fading

went outside down to the river
spent there several hours waiting
yellow trees and purple colors
counting stars they're slowly fading

went outside down to the river
yellow trees and purple colors
went outside down to the river
yellow trees and purple color

It's so calming, relaxing and also deeply reflective. I related to the lyrics as the instrumentals washed over. One of my favorites! jasonlikestapes

I am sure I would never have found your music weren't it for the article about your latest album in Respekt magazine. And what a loss it would have been. Thank you, it fills me with amazement to hear such wonderful Czech music. martipa2
