1.	A Song to Sing Whilst You Think of Crows and Bees and Specters! (A love song for a raven or storm) 03:43	lyrics	buy track
Did you ever see such a beautiful cloud? That nimbostratus loves to make rainfall Have you ever met such lovely birds? Crows and ravens just sing about love And all the prettiest flowers have thorns Did you ever feel such a beautiful wind? That breeze creates dances and debris Have you ever met such a lovely insect? Bees with honey; stingers bring love And all the prettiest thorns have flowers <<Music Break>> And the flowers and the thorns have beauty Did you ever hear such a beautiful song? That screaming loves to make echoes Have you ever met such a lovely demon? Phantoms and specters bring everyone love Don't, don't forget, don't forget to do, do what you might have forgotten! Don't, don't forget, don't forget to do, do what you might have forgotten!
2.	Mi querido tenebroso (Lo que ocurre en la zona oscura; ojalá que llueva para siempre 03:55	lyrics	buy track
No hay que tener miedo de la sombra Lo que existe allá, es sensible y querido No hay que evitar la oscuridad Lo que prospera allí, siempre vive tranquilo Estribillo: Apagar la luz Exponer la sombra Vivir por la noche Cantar con las bestias encantadas por la madrugada Hay que cuidarse por la luz Lo que existe aquí, es mentira y expuesto Hay que darse cuenta del día Lo que prospera acá, siempre finge tranquilo Estribillo ¿Quién es que está en el corredor? ¿Qué es lo que está debajo de la cama? Las velas encendidas iluminan lo que las tinieblas nos ofrecen No hay que tener miedo de la sombra Lo que existe allá, es sensible y querido No hay que evitar la oscuridad Lo que prospera allí, siempre vive tranquilo Estribillo Las bestias por la madrugada Las bestias encantadas… Oh Las bestias
3.	Sea Stars (sitting by the window at the sea whilst it rains watching ships, sailors, and ghosts) 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Everything you've ever wanted from a pottery class and it's raining on the window's glass Everyone you've ever wanted to recite poetry verse and the waves undulate at the sea shore When the seasick feeling of waiting brings one alone When the sea wreck fearing of wanting brings one home Every word you've ever wanted from a seance medium and their speaking from a spirit's voice When the seasick feeling of waiting brings one alone When the sea wreck fearing of wanting brings one home <<music break>> When the seasick feeling of waiting brings one alone When the sea wreck fearing of wanting brings one home Do you have another candle to burn? I'll be by the sea stars to shine Do you have another sail to fly? I'll be by the sea stars to shine Come to the sea stars, five pointed sea stars, shine, come to the sea stars, open to shine, come to the stars to shine.. to shine?
