lyrics

I can remember that history lesson
You were my saviour, I’ll never forget it
Will you?
And later backstage we wrote songs of rebellion
For that time and others I’ll always be grateful, will you?

In summer we used to walk down by the river
Sunkissed bulrushes, that’s where we’d stay hidden from view
We’d sit on the dam, right above murky waters
Or climb up that old tree, pretend the world’s ours to rule

But we’ve changed since…

And now two thousand miles to the East
I’m picking up my soul piece after piece
And I never thought I would see
You drift away from me just like you did

Secret code language, kaleidoscope vision
Too many paths and a hasty decision,
it’s true
Firefly, falling star, thunder and lighting
Over the hill there was green grass inviting, we knew

We’ve changed since and now

Two thousand miles to the East
I’m picking up my soul piece after piece
And I never thought I would see you drift away from me just like you did
And now, two thousand miles to the West
Who would’ve thought that you knew it best

Since that frozen night when we walked on thin ice,
you’re no longer in my dreams and I sleep alright
Hope you too.

Maria Helena: a project by two musicians, from two cities. Partly from Leeds, UK, partly from Wrocław, Poland. Our music paints cinematic pictures, as we weave emotive lyrics into sounds from the borderlands of alternative rock, electronic and folk.
