about

This is a condensed version of a life together, from infatuation to dedication to separation. It is meant to be a love song. Never take anything for granted. - Tenk

lyrics

lemongrass and thyme
I met you on a sunny day
your velvet words left me stranded
when you smiled and turned away

lemongrass and thyme
you overlooked that I was mesmerized
my heart reached out with a thousand arms
but you didn’t know you were mine

stay
can I hold your gaze?
can we struggle together
against time and space
may I admire from afar your windblown hair?
will you cry to me
when your dreams aren’t there?

lemongrass and thyme
our paths were destined to entwine
always meant to take the time
but things just got away

stay
your company
is the beginning
and the end of me
can we endlessly live
this garden life?
where we happily share
the things we like

lemongrass and thyme
I saw your name
just the other day
a concrete path
and an iron gate
a threshold
and a heavy door

stay
can I hold your gaze
can we struggle together
against time and space
may I admire from afar your windblown hair?
will you cry to me
when your dreams aren’t there?

Temple of Switches California

"The two mainstays throughout are sections with an often subtle but distinct jazz flavoring applied to them, sometimes from bass and drums, on other occasions by way of the keyboards, and here and there we are treated to almost purebred jazz-oriented music too. The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
