lyrics
Verse 1:
I saw unfurling shapes of waves
One could get lost at sea for
Days without end
Drifting around the bend
In time all things will pass their way
I pondered what it meant to
Stay, to try stay
Anchored backwards
Chorus:
Long into the night, far from their sight
Your secret's by my side
I'll gaze into your fairy eyes, and tell you twice
That we'll not come down
Verse 2:
I sought that penetrating gaze
A meager glance instead to
Capture your face
Capture some saving grace
In time all things will pass their way
I pondered what it meant to
Stay, to try stay
Anchored backwards
Chorus:
Long into the night, far from their sight
Your secret's by my side
I'll gaze into your fairy eyes, and tell you twice
That we'll not, come down
Long into the night, far from their sight
Your secret's by my side
I'll gaze into your fairy eyes, and tell you twice
That life just isn't very fair
Bridge:
So we try
To forget all we have done
So we try
To blanket out the sun
I saw unfurling shapes of waves
One could get lost at sea for
Days without end
Drifting around the bend
In time all things will pass their way
I pondered what it meant to
Stay, to try stay
Anchored backwards
Chorus:
Long into the night, far from their sight
Your secret's by my side
I'll gaze into your fairy eyes, and tell you twice
That we'll not come down
Verse 2:
I sought that penetrating gaze
A meager glance instead to
Capture your face
Capture some saving grace
In time all things will pass their way
I pondered what it meant to
Stay, to try stay
Anchored backwards
Chorus:
Long into the night, far from their sight
Your secret's by my side
I'll gaze into your fairy eyes, and tell you twice
That we'll not, come down
Long into the night, far from their sight
Your secret's by my side
I'll gaze into your fairy eyes, and tell you twice
That life just isn't very fair
Bridge:
So we try
To forget all we have done
So we try
To blanket out the sun

-
Yesterday is a Distant Dream
by OJ LawAn all-in-one-man-band in the most exemplary sense. Imagine the production chops of Dave Fridmann with the songwriting and vocal mettle of Prince-meets-Buddy Holly-meets-Brian Wilson.

Our favourite new act of the year. Superb song-writing. Exceedingly charming and lovely to a fault. Very excited to see where they go from here.
