Track Name: Summer Rain
When it rains, Oh how it rains
When it rains, how it rains
And when you come, i hope it rains
I hope it rains like summer rain

And when you´re walking downtown i hope that you´ll find love
And may you find your way through the sunlight and thunders

We saw the rain come from the sea, we took our time and waited for it
There was no reason for us to leave, standing right before infinity

I danced with the tide and the wind, then i walked the stone street home
I had the sun and it´s hope on my back, while the uncertanty of night devoured the path ahead

When it rains, Oh how it rains
When it rains, how it rains
And you and I, we are the same
We have the eyes of summer rain
And if i wait, it´s not in vain
You have the eyes of summer rain
Track Name: Winter Comes
Winter Comes

Winter comes in slow steps
Winter comes in cold hands
And it comes and there´s nothing left
When winter comes

Winter comes in a dress made of leaves
Winter comes with brown eyes
Winter comes in soft and pale skin
Winter comes

Winter comes in a million shades of gray
And the hopelessness of any change
Winter comes with its sad shorter days
And a beauty I could never explain
Winter comes

Winter comes
And living is gone

Winter comes in slow steps
Winter comes and there´s nothing left
I´ll be waiting by the ocean
You´ll be waiting in the morning
You´ll be looking through your window
I´ll be looking through your eyes when winter comes

Winter comes
And living is gone

So baby won´t you come back home
baby won´t you come back home
So baby won´t you come back home
You´ll never make it out there on your own
baby won´t you come back home
this land is everything that you are not
and it takes something that you haven´t got
Baby won´t you come back home
Track Name: The Uncountable Colours of the Sky
“There´s no reason to be leaving”
It was already gone
There was no reason to believe it, i was already running
“Oh darling, what are you running from?”

In the beach we spend our summers looking at the sky
In a spectacle of life the day was fighting the night

And we saw uncountable colours

There´s a difference in between what we see and what things are
Specially when what we see is our reflections in the mirror
And your eyes see the reflection of your mind
Your eyes bring out what is inside

Inside was a tropical tree that was so much older than me
Though the flowers were all pink
Some of them would bloom white
Or any other colours we chose
So many other colours we chose

And we saw uncountable colours
And we saw uncountable colours
We saw for once and forever
And we saw uncountable colours

And we saw uncountable colours
We felt what was like to be alive
We saw for once and forever
And se saw uncountable colours
Track Name: Emily In Twilight
The days
They come in colour
They come in cold wind
Oh you´re the winter

And you
Come walking slowly
Come walking holding
Flowers in winter

Emily in twilight
Emily in goodbye
It´s getting dark
Too dark to see you Emily

Your photos
Become the water
The water that reflects
All the skies of all time

And you
Come walking slowly
Come walking holding
Flowers in winter

Emily in twilight
Emily with green eyes
It´s getting dark
Too dark to see you Emily
Emily your cold hands
Emily don´t pretend
Our eyes haven´t met
When you were dancing around so gracefully

Emily in twilight
Emily it´s goodbye
It´s getting dark
Too dark to see you Emily
Emily in twilight
Emily with green eyes
It´s getting dark
Too dark to see you Emily
