lyrics

Blue smoke, flicker deep, turn my sight and take my sleep
white light shadows face — are you friendly foe? are you runaway?
ashes fallin sweet, you burned up every part of me
bright night shadows grace , will I let you in, will you teach me patience
slowly with the moon I wane away and become new
leaving with the dawn, may fullness rise in the world beyond
blue smoke, flicker deep, turn my sight and take my sleep
white light shadows face, into every name will you come this way again

Blue smoke, flicker deep, run me wild and set me free
wide eyed sudden wake, spark to breath will become flame
blow ye bellow sweet, give you all these lungs can breathe
grow thee to your might, be the way of wonder sighing
slowly with the moon wane away and become new
leaving with the dawn, may fullness rise in the world beyond
blue smoke, flicker deep, run me wild and set me free
wide eyed sudden wake, into every name
will you come this way again

Dreaming of an Old Tomorrow demonstrates just why it’s so difficult to genre-fy David Sugalski’s music into one neat little box. Polish aims to unite all under one groove. Ayla Nereo
