The Giant

|
Your shoes are made for a superhuman being
who has such big feet that he cannot walk
Your mouth is soft and hard with teeth that break
Your lips keep moving
but you do not talk
Your eyes are wide like lakes in Iceland
But the water’s far too hot to touch
And I only wanted to look for a minute
By taking that look
I took too much
Your eyes are wide with tears that freeze in winter
In winter, they say, it’s far too cold to cry
Well, I see, I’m lucky then you’re still the North Pole
The season’s good
to pass me by
Your hair is soft and everyone wants to touch it
but you keep it hidden underneath your hat
I offered you a hand to ever hold you
But now I know
you can’t be swayed by that
You want to give but when it is expected
there’s nothing you can do but run away
A fear of all of life that seems to bind you
So where you live
You cannot stay
Oh man you’re fun you’re everybody’s party
You’re looking for a thrill that everlasts
Oh god did I just thrill you for a minute
Our party’s over
My thrill has passed
This giant then that walks among the houses
tramples us and doesn’t even see
but the only thing that’s worse than being trampled
is still to hope
is still to hope
is still to hope
you’ll come back to me

Inner Pocket

Let me climb along your pants
sit inside you coat
in your inner pocket
A collar 'gainst the cold
I'll hide inside the folds
of your inner pocket
And sitting here with me:
your passport and your keys
in your inner pocket
in your inner pocket
The spring is fresh this year
for now I'm staying here
in your inner pocket
My head against you heart
until the summer starts
in your inner pocket
Please let me believe
I'll never have to leave
leave your inner pocket
leave your inner pocket
Remember when our love was young
December when we sang our song
Our hands were cold and winter long
But when the summer comes along
You'll have to take your coat off
As we walk the final mile
I'll hug your heart and smile
in your inner pocket
in your inner pocket

Sorrow
04:39

|
He took off the little friendship charm
he took off - he wore it ‘round his arm
for a while
Now he says the color’s not his style
Sorrow, I’m guessing at your plans
Sorrow, blow into your hands
before
you start tearing at and pulling at my heart
You’re making me fall
You’re making me fall
You’re making me fall
You’re making me fall
When you’re tearing at and pulling at my heart
He packs up the pans that I once bought
he packs up, the van is in the lot
it takes off
to the city with the wide and open streets
Sorrow, I’m running off the rails
Sorrow, cover up your nails before
you start tearing at and pulling at my heart
You’re making me fall
You’re making me fall
You’re making me fall
you’re making me fall
When you’re tearing at and pulling at my heart
Please don’t be as hard
as he was soft
Please don’t be as hard
as he was soft
when you’re scratching at
tearing at
scraping at
and clawing at and grabbing at and jerking at
when you’re tearing at
and pulling at my heart
I still hear him tiptoe up the stairs
I still feel him brushing back the hair
from my face
and now he’s gone
my heart is out of place

Let Go
04:19
|

|
No I don’t miss you too much
I can stay out of touch
till I hear your voice
Through distortion and snow
it is you that I know
Speaking through the noise
Now I can’t hang up no more
you’ll have to cut me off
I know it’s still far away
but a week fills a day
and a day a year
You’ll be flying full speed
cannot be who I need
when I need you here
My heart sinks when I think of
what will follow when you follow yours
Yes I know you gotta go you’re in the flow
the world won’t let you slow down
guess I better raise my head and find me someone else
won’t be no showdown
I just have to let go
let you go now
You blow kisses up high that I catch from the sky
I’ll cherish each and every one dear
you won’t fade away slow
I’ll be missing you so
when all is said and done dear
now just hold me one last time
as tight as I’ll be ever held tight
In the call the image froze but after all the record shows we tried
forget about another call I can’t fit in your carry-all tonight
forget about another call I can’t fit in your carry-all tonight
I just have to let go
let you go now
Let go of you - let go
Let go of you - let go
My lovely leaves on Monday
His ticket is a one-way
I just have to let go (Let go of you - let go)
let you go now (Let go of you - let go)

Lewin Amsterdam, Netherlands
LEWIN: the fresh musical leaf that has been turned by songwriter and musician Jara
Holdert.
Lewin's voice "might remind you a bit of Joni Mitchell in the upper registers, while her musical temperament feels closer to the bardic stylings of Laura Marling. Lewin's sound is a refreshing mix of emotional authenticity and beautiful folk-pop songcraft.” (chillfiltr)
