lyrics

Love rising from the mists,
Promise me this and only this,
Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down, just to show me
How to give my heart away
Once a crystal choir
Appeared while I was sleeping
And called my name
And when they came down nearer
Saying, dying is done,
Then a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
And still I hear their whisper
Stars bursting in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dying cry
Shimmering memory, come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
Sun sifting through the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swooping down, just to show me
How to give my heart away
Lately sparkling hosts
Come fill my dreams, descending
On fiery beams
I've seen 'em come clear down
Where our poor bodies lay,
Soothe us gently and say,
Gonna wipe all your tears away
And still I hear their whisper?
Love, rising from the mists
Promise me this and only this,
Holy breath touching me, like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss

I love this album because its like seeing her creative process behind the scenes. You can sorta pick up which records the songs were recorded for and why they were chosen for this but left off of others. Eduardo Yeti

In the Air Tonight / More Than Words
by Marissa Nadler & Stephen Brodsky

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Kiss”

Nadler and Brodsky's take on this pair of 80's staples ramps up the drama, effectively transforming and revitalizing both songs with an impressive cinematic quality that transcends their Pop music roots. Totally awesome... rikm
