What's On My Playlist Nowadays?

It's been a while. I am so busy (and so un-inspired) I haven't been writing. Anyway, I fell in love with this song. It has such a beautiful lyrics, so I just want to share it ^^ Her song reminds me of Brooke Fraser's Albertine (don't know why). Here goes:

Laura Jane Scott - The Librarian

I know the distance it takes

to sail around the world

I've done it many times

on seas of Van Gogh green

And every night with certainty

the stars descend around the whole like fireflies

It's no surprise I'm here tonight

Holding out hope for a change in the tide

Painted windows on the skyline

Sail me off this empty island

I'll be home before you know it

I'll be home before you know I'm gone

I know the secret waves

that lap around the world

The mermaids sing of them

as they brush their hair with coral

Where every lighthouse sends a beam

like Roman columns to a city down below

And this I know: to plunge down and breathe

Is more than possible if you believe

Painted windows on the skyline

Sail me off this empty island

I'll be home before you know it

I'll be home before you know I'm gone

La la la la (8x)

I know the distance it takes

to sail around the world

I've done it many times

behind my knotted desk

In quiet service to the stories I collect

Until it's time to close and go home for the night

Without the pirates

Without the sirens

Without the love notes in bottles at sea

Waiting for someone

Waiting for someone like me

Painted windows on the skyline

Sail me off this empty island

I'll be home before you know it

I'll be home before you know I'm gone

Painted windows on the skyline

Sail me off this empty island

I'll be home before you know it

I'll be home before you know I'm gone
