Glass romance lost in dreamy glances. A silk embrace. Are we slowly drifting to the moon? Would you lay with me in the garden? Could you stay with me here? Be my everything in rosewater. Stay with me here. Vanilla lace with a sweet embrace. Opal relics, sugar passages to the sea. A twinkling memory, crystalline energy, you and me. Liquid petals floating in the pool. Would you lay with me in the garden? Could you stay with me here? Be my everything in rosewater. Stay with me here.

Warrior 03:42
I am a warrior by design. I carry my head high with pride. Started a new life on my own. I can't figure out which way to go. I am a worrier, I know. I've held my head down many times. I'm not ashamed to feel alone. I rise. I am a prisoner in my mind, Forgiving myself for my crimes. Surrounded by walls I cannot see, I'm a sinner who's trying to believe. God can you answer me? Are you listening to my plea? To be a warrior everytime, I rise. On the horizon is a warrior, I see. On the horizon is a warrior. It's the strength within me. On the horizon is a warrior, I see. It's the strength within me. When I am down and out and I cannot breathe I think, "What would my mother do, if she were me?' Oh she'd sing, 'Honey you know you've got it made. You must believe in your heart and your soul. You crazy thing" On the horizon. On the horizon.

Versions of me I see: hazy. But, I know I am crazy. Yes I know, I am crazy for you. We walk in a daze. Our love flowing in waves. Yes I know, I am still crazy. Yeah, I'll always be crazy for you. Are we starting a war or can we truly let ourselves be free? Can I disappear into breeze, these versions of me? My heart fills with rain to wash away this pain. To heal what is broken. Yes I know, I am broken. I need a remedy for me. Are we starting a war or can we truly let ourselves be free? Can I disappear into breeze, these versions of me? And as we swim through the pool of life please know, I'm there. Are we starting a war? Can we truly be free? Can I disappear versions of me?

Lorsque au soleil couchant les rivières sont roses, Et qu'un tiède frisson court sur les champs de blé, Un conseil d'être heureux semble sortir des choses Et monter vers le coeur troublé. Un conseil de goûter le charme d'être au monde Cependant qu'on est jeune et que le soir est beau Car nous nous en allons, Comme s'en va cette onde: Elle à la mer, Nous au tombeau English Poetic Translation: When streams turn pink in the setting sun And a slight shudder rushes through the wheat fields, A plea for happiness seems to rise out of all things And it climbs up towards the troubled heart. A plea to relish the charm of life While there is youth and the evening is fair, For we pass away, as the wave passes: The wave to the sea, we to the grave

Vows 04:40
Say that you need me close into your arms. Say that you don't need anyone else. Babe, I've been waiting. Counting the days for you to come my way. Into the tide I fade away, holding this dream curled up inside. Promise your wide smart mind will always stay bright. Take care of that long brown hair so you'll age right. Stay as I remember when we were young. Living each day like you just begun. Endlessly passioned in a way so surreal and all mine. Darling, you know now how these days go. When I'm with you, nothing can stop us. Not even the moon. Hold me close into your arms. Into this word, together we roam so free. Endlessly. Darling, you know now how these days go. When I'm with you, nothing can stop us. Not even the moon.

about

The Rosewater EP is a lush acoustic record with yearning instrumentals and sweet vocals. The ensemble is a unique blend of vocals, piano, cello, harp, and acoustic guitar. There is an air of romance, reverie, and sorrow that'll leave the listener in their own trance. Zahra Lux surprises us with a performace of Debussy's Beau Soir, to add to the aura of Impressionist art and dynamic musicality.

Fall into rosewater and see where the tide can take you.
