Kol 04:47
For all this silence You seem so close, not far away And I hold my breathe, in anticipation Not a muscle moving, on this bed where I lay And all those dancing round on painted horses Hidden in colours, dizzy with pace Well, I loose my threads and sing them into a whisper And I fling them out into hyper space Maybe they'll find you, to bring us face to face Basheket, basheket efshar lishmoah Hold on and turn, like a rocket we travel Basheket, sodot kmoosim lifkoach In the morning rays, we begin to unravel....

If not for the one you love, How for another? If not for yourself, then for whom do you speak? If not for a touch, Well then, how could you feel? And how can I touch you through all this debris? But I can't be hiding myself just to please you. And I won't shut my eyes just to 'show you I care'. No, you can't just look through me and call this open. You can't just close down to hide what you fear - 'cause we free-fall... Why you shouting at the rain? So loudly, I could no be near... While you shouted I was alone already, my dear.. These words, habits washed in by pride and devotion, These catch cries, monsoons over rivers and streams, If I float with my back on this sea of emotion, How hard could it, would it, just for us to be? But I can't be hiding myself just to please you. And I won't shut my eyes just to 'show you I care'. No, you can't just look through me and call this open. You can't just close down to hide what you fear - 'cause we free-fall...

Rain 04:02
In river of rain, you flow into my life, on a water-flamed arrow, into my life You caught me unaware and you soaked me to the bone Stirring, teasing my hair, drip slowly down, into my Soul I hold you in my palms, hold the gifts of heaven above I feel you on my skin, sensuous drops that soak right in. Right in through every pore, elixir of life, I'm ready for more, I'm dancing in the rain! I'm dancing in the rain! Pearls on my tongue, beads on my skin. Wash away the dirt, let the sun shine in.

With You 04:25
As though in a moment things become clear, then fall out of view through a lens too long.. As though the story forms in the mist and letters define, distinct and strong As though all the mysteries haunting my dreams came to explain, with solemnity of truth As though all my strings were tight like a web, defying the wind, with the arrogance of youth... And though your touch can shake me from illusions, in a moment things become clear, then fall out of view And if I cup your face in my hands and savour, As though there was nothing else I wanted to do... I would be with you... I am so slow in my hurry and pace, so slow to arrive, in my eagerness to save face. And I've searched so long to find my own kind of grace... I could be with you, I would be with. I could be with you, I would be with. And though your touch can shake me from illusions, in a moment things become clear, then fall out of view And if I cup your face in my hands and savour, As though there was nothing else I wanted to do... I could be with you, I would be with. I could be with you, I would be with.
