lyrics
(The weight of the world
is love.
Under the burden
of solitude,
under the burden
of dissatisfaction
the weight,
the weight we carry
is love.
but we carry the weight
wearily,
and so must rest
in the arms of love
at last,
must rest in the arms
of love.
No rest
without love,
no sleep
without dreams
of love--
The warm bodies
shine together
in the darkness,
the hand moves
to the center
of the flesh,
the skin trembles
in happiness
and the soul comes
joyful to the eye--
yes, yes,
that's what
I wanted,
I always wanted,
I always wanted,
to return
to the body
where I was born.)
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a friend
To hear our names from the high-wave stand
We all wish to find a place
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a lover
We stir and swirl, we kneel and hope, we cry and pray
Trying to follow
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a lover
To feel the tide from our high-wave stand
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
I never learned how to swim
Like water in my hands, on your lips
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
is love.
Under the burden
of solitude,
under the burden
of dissatisfaction
the weight,
the weight we carry
is love.
but we carry the weight
wearily,
and so must rest
in the arms of love
at last,
must rest in the arms
of love.
No rest
without love,
no sleep
without dreams
of love--
The warm bodies
shine together
in the darkness,
the hand moves
to the center
of the flesh,
the skin trembles
in happiness
and the soul comes
joyful to the eye--
yes, yes,
that's what
I wanted,
I always wanted,
I always wanted,
to return
to the body
where I was born.)
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a friend
To hear our names from the high-wave stand
We all wish to find a place
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a lover
We stir and swirl, we kneel and hope, we cry and pray
Trying to follow
We all wish to find a place, to go back as a lover
To feel the tide from our high-wave stand
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
I never learned how to swim
Like water in my hands, on your lips
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights
In the shadows of our evening tides
In the shadows between the lights

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...
