Stillness

A very mellow and quiet piece. I had something very different in mind at first, but I wanted to have a little more time for it, so I spontaneously wrote this instead. Turned out to be quite large as well.

I think I will actually release a water-themed album from songs from this year's Weeklybeats. Water has been my leitmotif for many songs so far.

Lyrics:

I have found a perfect place
where the time is still
Feel the sunshine in my face
burning as I will

I have found the perfect time
for a small remark
make from sparkling water wine
glowing after dark


stillness of the lake
will you give or will you take
stillness of the lake
will you live or will you fade
stillness of the lake


We have found a green lagoon
rowing through the bright
knowing there will come no moon
a new black shines tonight

A wondrous green and airy roof
protecting our sleep
keeps the starlight far aloof
from dreams about the deep

stillness of the lake
will you give or will you take
stillness of the lake
will you live or will you fade
stillness of the lake
