the winter is born
just a day too late
it doesn’t matter anymore
the time has come too soon
our hopeful sighs just fade out of the room…
can this december never end?
can we hold on to this night?
do our dreams have to see their end
before they see their light?
can this december never end?
do we have to say goodbye?
‘cause I don’t want to lose the hope
that brought this heart to life
it’s already time to leave
these stolen glances cannot change a thing
as the silence closes in
can the winter come and die
and pass on by
then never change again?...

and your laughter still lingers
from some other dream
and all of these hallways
still hold all of me
and I’m finally growing tired
of chasing these delicate fires
and it’s time to give my heart
but maybe there’s beauty in falling apart…
so goodbye, scarlet night
all of those years
were phantoms and stars
so be still, say goodnight
when the world is on fire
with its fragile desires
say goodnight
you’re still just an echo
a ghost in my bed
I should know I can’t save you
you just haunt me instead
as the shadows come to life
we’re tracing ourselves tonight
and all eyes on you
‘til there’s nothing to say alone in this room…
chorus
goodbye, candlelight
as the stars start to fade
I’ll be running away
so be still, goodnight
when the world is on fire
with its scarlet desires
say goodnight

can you cover up the stain
that passion left you with tonight?
all the roses bear your name
every petal falling from your eyes…
and now our love lies bleeding
as our scarlet ribbons fill the sky
you’re all that I believe in
be my candle if you can tonight
crimson petals line the floor
a lion’s heart is beating deep inside
all that matters anymore
is how we choose to carry on this light…
chorus
mysterious, invincible love

I’ve seen this from every angle
but all your thought balloons are running off ahead
and the silence comes alive
accelerating time
will you scream with me?...
I don’t know if I can be
brave enough to feel this way
there’s a truth that neither one of us has ever said:
“you’ve always haunted me”
I know you love the stars like I do
I want to see them falling like they’re falling all for you
and I will stay behind
just leave me with a light
I’m a stranger in your world…
chorus
however near or far
we’ll find a new north star
do you feel intrepid now?...
chorus
every minute’s got to count
we’ll fight against the future now
do you feel intrepid now?
there’s a truth that I have always tried so hard to say:
“I want to be like you”

Olafur is one of my biggest inspirations. Stunning, complex work. From this album, a particular standout is "Near Light."
