[Verse 1]
I used to know
Where the wave reaches inside me
Feel the burn
Could it be
Sister walk on by
Shed your skin
The snake slips away in the cracks
Unseen in the heat of the sun

[Chorus]
Like the caterpillar and the butterfly
Leave me there
Walk on by
Walk on by

[Verse 2]
Could it be I was the one you haunted
When no one was home
You threw all my letters
To the ashes
Smoke pipes spiral into the night
Tangled lies folded in two

[Chorus]
Like the caterpillar and the butterfly
Leave me there
Walk on by
Walk on by

[Verse 3]
Where you gonna hide
With the hurt in you
Along the marshes
Summer wind
Swallows flight
Circle high in the evening sun

[Chorus]
Like the caterpillar and the butterfly
Leave me there
Walk on by
Walk on by

[Bridge]
Where you gonna take my hand
Along your highway
Dirty roads and broken strings
Ghosts in the sandstorm
Passing through
You see I know where you're at

[Pre-Chorus]
Flesh and bone
We're not alone
Turn the stone
No one can run
Behind the rays of the sun

[Chorus]
Like the caterpillar and the butterfly
Walk on by
Walk on by

[Outro]
Were you gonna hide
Shed another skin
All that you carry
Grey clouds within
We were only reaching under
Breaking free

Fly high with the butterfly
Fly high with the butterfly
On the wing
Longing to bring him home
Fly high with the butterfly

Oooh butterfly

Waves wash over me

Sister

Verse 1
She reaches in the silence
lying next to me
holds my gravity
where the dawn rises
this paintbrush washes across our landscape

Chorus 1
Long road home
Indigo wave
Indigo wave
Indigo wave

Verse 2
then the sound broke our light
cracks in the walls
came to break our wave
21 miles to the dark room
they tried to take me down

Verse 3
cutting through the grit
count the lies in the bricks of your walls
turning the shadows of your pain
I don't want your cold
as your dream is slipping
I was just another of your strings

Chorus 2
Long road home
Indigo wave
Indigo wave
Indigo wave

Verse 4
Inside my mothers house
are all her secrets
she keeps the words inside her heart
and all of these fractures
crumble in the dust
so she kneels on the earth
with the lady in white
she's seen the spirit in her eyes
they prayed together
in the folds of the wild
as the sun set in his name

Bridge / Outro
let me go now
let me go now
let me go now
Was I just a mistake you needed to break

Final Chorus
Long road home
Indigo wave
Indigo wave

Indigo Wave - Long Road Home

[INTRO]
[SPARSE MUTED PIANO]
[LOW AMBIENT DRONE]
[VERSE 1]
[BREATHY WHISPER VOCALS]

Sanguine Sun, dancing light in my East
In the fever of the storm...
As the rain falls across my skin.
Lightning spins beneath my feet
Thinking of you, as I turn away
In a moment, you catch my eye
Feel your touch inside my dark.

[CHORUS]
[ETHEREAL LAYERED HARMONIES]
[ORCHESTRAL SWELL]

I will always catch you
When you dance in the light
On the shore of the Sanguine Sun.
Breathless... feel the love that we touch
Breathless... hold the night in this promise
Whisper my name, breathless
Losing me inside this feeling
Need me now, in love’s repose.

[VERSE 2]
[SLOW CELLO PULSE]

Holding my hand in the silver night
Lost in time, you’re the dreamer
Remember when you told me
Tales of ancient times?
Tides to the oceans, somewhere in between
We climbed to the top of the wave.

[BRIDGE]
[SUB-BASS INTENSITY]
[CRESCENDO]

The silence of my bones
Underneath the seeds we’ve sown
Earth bound...
Show me your love.

[SUDDEN SILENCE]
[DRY VOCAL]

Beyond the fear,
Call my name...
Where I flew too high.

[OUTRO]
[FADING PIANO]

We remember...
Two as one.
Breathless...
In the light of the Sanguine Sun.

Broken Wing - instrumental Interlude

[Intro]

Bm – G – D – A (repeat 2x)

[Verse 1]

It’s cold in this space
Where the storm rolled in
Swelled behind my back
Crept into my light
And darkness fell on my dreams

[Bm G D A Bm]

[Chorus]

Walk away
Walk away


Broken wing
Broken wing



[ G D A G D A]

[Verse 2]

All those lonely nights
Tears kept falling
Burning through my heart
Spinning my whole world
Underneath your lying eyes
They blamed me for your sin

[ Bm G D A Bm]

[Chorus]

Walk away
Walk away


Broken wing
Broken wing

Take me under


[G D A G D A]

[Bridge]

This love is all I have
This love is all I am
No name in the silence
As you faded in the morning light
Now your ghost is my strength
No more dark in the light

[Progression: Em Bm G A F#maj7 G]

[Verse 3]

Time is running
You stand in front of me
A voice in the deep
From long ago
I forgive and let go
As I fly free on the wind
Drifting with the wave

[ Bm G D A Bm ]



Walk away, fly away
Walk away, fly away
I found my wings again
Alone — without you
I'm free

[ G D A Bm (repeat as needed for emphasis)]

[Outro – D Major Resolution with F#maj7]

No more dark in the light
Your ghost is gone
This life is mine
Don’t need your hurt again
We were just
Strangers in rhyme

Ma mère,
Ma souer,
Mon ami,
Mon amant,
Je dois te laisser derrière, être libre.
Fly away
Oooh
