Music - Brilliant Trees (David Sylvian)
When you come to me
I'll question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own
When every step I take
Leads me so far away
Every thought should bring me closer home
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
Every plan I've made's
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn
A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms
And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil

at school we had to read a short story about a boy who loved David Sylvian's music and especially this song; i became curious and had to check who this Sylvian was... so that's what brings me here. i love this, really beautiful.
