MELT

by Corinne Gibbons

1.
Speak of the North! A lonely moor Silent and dark and trackless swells The waves of some wild streamlet pour Hurriedly through its ferny dells Profoundly still the twilight air Lifeless the landscape so we deem Till like a phantom gliding near A stag bends down to drink the stream And far away a mountain zone A cold white waste of snow-drift lies And one star large soft and lone Silently lights the unclouded sky

Silver Flame 04:13
Silver Flame My love knows no fear my love knows no pride when I’m by your side My love knows no time my love is blind when I’m by your side My love is like a lone star in a clear sky it burns so bright My love is pure nectar, quench your day and night, day and night Light up like a silver flame Light up like a silver flame Pure love embrace me in your warm unending light Pure love enchant me with your dance to entice Pure love tempt me to the highest of highs Pure love hold me till the morning comes and I will walk beside you to forever and beyond

Switchoff 05:07
Switch Off It’s a picture that comes to me In the quiet hours when I can be Like the seasons it changes constantly It won’t listen to me but it comes from me It won’t listen to me but it comes from me And the moment I try to pin it down It slips from my head like an empty crown And the wheels in my mind start spinning round And I’m thinking and thinking … I want to switch off I want some quiet time… I want some quiet time How do I switch off I want to switch off … My mind The angel’s kiss appears When I forget my fear And I wake from a noisy sleep Like I haven’t been to bed for a week There’s a peace that I can’t seem to reach It won’t listen to me but it comes from me It won’t listen to me but it comes from me And … the moment I try to pin it down …

Precious Girl I feel no shame for all the tears I cried for you I have no time for those who don’t understand I feel tender for the world that has suffered for your loss And I am I am I am touched by gentle inspiration And I confess to appreciate the simple things And I know how it feels insignificant in a bigger picture drawn by nature And I and I am watching the moon and it is watching me I am taking each day a step in time One breath in One breath out It’s what life is all about Precious girl Precious girl Time has shown I can weather the storm of losing you even though I feel torn into tiny pieces - invisible to the naked eye but make the jigsaw of my life my life I know how good it was to share your life And I know what it’s like to feel the warmth behind those wise green eyes And I know in my heart there will never be another to touch me in the way you did Laugh at the crazy things we did and I am Grateful Precious girl Precious girl Oh oh oh oh Till we meet again until we meet again - until we meet again

One Voice 03:19
One Voice Do you feel it in your heart that you want to let go do you feel it in your bones that you wanna stand up and have a say so let your opinions flow Do you feel you‘re wasting time in a world that’s spinning fast do you feel that it’s time that you don’t sit back and ask I wished I had of if I only did Do you wanna say good bye to the rivers that flow do plan to sit back and not have a say so – don’t think it’s too late don’t hesitate don’t hesitate One voice in the city tonight one voice saying everything’s going to be alright One voice sheds a silent tear one voice letting go of all the fear Fear of rejection what’s the point in protection when the planets gone there is no you later on - how do you wanna live how do you wanna live Animals die and the forests are weeping children are starving nations are bleeding do you wanna wait don’t hesitate Government decisions there is a bad one every minute when the war is on do they send their own sons you know you don’t have to take it you can initiate it And do you think that it’s beyond you to stand up and be counted One voice in the city tonight one voice saying everything’s gonna be alright One voice sheds a silent tear one voice letting go all fears Time... it’s time... it’s time

Life Goes 06:18
Life Goes My mother always said I could be anything that I wanted when I was just a little girl and I believed every word she said never doubted – I was comfortable in my world I grew up always wanting to be a writer sometimes I thought I’d be a sporting star – I even dreamt that I might be a pilot – but that all changed when I got my first guitar That’s the way my baby that’s the way my baby that’s the way life goes That’s the way my baby that’s the way my baby that’s the way life goes Leaving home is one of life’s adventures – it’s never as simple as it seems A young girl on the loose with all the answers Will soon find out that life is full of lessons and stings That’s the way my baby … The game of love can be so complicated and that first kiss sure put me in the clouds – but floating in thin air is over-rated and when the rain came pouring down – I was a puddle on the ground As time rolls by my reflections on the past have altered – perspective changes everything A single day can bring a change that splits your world into a million fragments and nothing will ever be the same – nothing ever stays the same That’s the way baby …

Good Days 03:19
Good Days Given time you’ll realize what life’s all about if you really want to Cause open eyes and beauty is all around to see And when the lights shine down and no one else around and the good times roll in over you Good days goodbyes – until you show again Good days goodbyes – until you show next time Better days and better nights unguarded time I can see the broken light shining down oh harsh light oh bright light Good days goodbyes – until you show again Good days goodbyes – until you show, until you show Goodbye

Silty Wine 03:32
Silty Wine It’s a long dark climb on a lonely road you can walk right by and miss the glow in the distance my senses draw me near Letting go falling in standing still and the worlds still spinning Drawn inside by the smell of a good time I can taste the silty wine I can taste the silty wine On a dark road in the quiet night to an open door with a warm light Come inside smell the sound of the people here And the glow in the room keeps marking time am I in a bar or is it in my mind Memories interfere Sitting close holding hands making plans while years are slipping And the bloke in the bar with a dawn cigar who never said a word never said goodnight Sitting sipping silently as his gaze drifts by the chosen three who are writing songs you’ll never hear - shiver lingers in my ear I can taste the silty wine And the place I will rest lies downstream On a dark road in the quiet night to an open door with a warm light Come inside smell the sound of the people hear I can taste the silty wine

MELT 05:09
Melt Sitting in a chair swingin slowly in the morning breeze staring out to sea It stares back at me Such a simple way to start the day Feel the spray on my face Just being in the moment The sun softly rises on the horizon And I feel your caress float in my thoughts And I am blessed I am thinking of you Are you thinking of me I am thinking of you It melts me We are worlds apart you and I While I sit with the morning Is the moon rising in your sky And I think to myself yours is a beautiful night a beautiful night So much time has drifted by already We are connected by golden threads of memory It melts me Pressure makes diamonds time a pearl You‘re in my heart and a precious jewel in my world We breathe the same air we share the same wind I feel you it melts me It melts me

about

MELT was written to support me through a time of transition. It is an album about love, the earth, loss and how we are all connected. I loved making this album with my dream team of collaborators and supporters. I hope you enjoy!!!
