Come close my dear
Let me tell you about my dream
Come close don’t fear
I want to show you what we can be
Follow, I’ll find
hidden places where lovers reside
Meet me in the night
I’ll show you to the light
Come close my dear
Let me tell you about my dream
Show you to the light

The Idea

Don’t blink twice in the morning
See the sun
with your violet eyes Open them wide
Who’s waiting on me now?
Can’t you see?
I am already here The water is clear Say can you hear?
Who’s waiting on me now? The arrow points
you didn’t dream at all
See the sun
in the morning See me

A Lover In Disguise

Is it smoke that billows
or is there a lie behind your eyes? Never meant to show it
Secret’s out, a lover in disguise
A tug-of-war of senses
swallows us before the dawn, before I’m gone
When did you discover?
Couldn’t hide a black cat in the night An everlasting hour
settling on compromise
I’m bending time

Once upon a time, there was a man
He carried, on his back, dark roses
He was looking, all his life, for his true love He called her: the girl with the golden crown
The girl with the golden crown The man with dark roses
Never did he see such beauty
as the girl he knew was his eternal bride And all the while he carried those dark roses to give to her as a token of his heart
The years passed on, but still never did they meet
He kept watering his burden and longing for her in his sleep
The girl with the golden crown The man with dark roses
The girl with the golden crown
Now the legend goes he kept on searching till the very night he died Buried with his dream, his grave forever weeps
on a hill on dark roses growing underneath a golden sky
’t Was the girl with the golden crown with the golden crown

Forever

Flower in the night so lonely
Forever
and ever bound by you
Wide I’m awake your hand in mine
Forever
now or never Bound by the wind
Promise me again You end and I begin Bound by our name
Forever
and ever, you bound by me
Flower in the night your hand in mine
Forever
and ever
Bound by the wind

Cup Of Time
02:58
|

|
No way out
No way out
You’ll have to see it all until the curtains fall
You leave and hide
Every time
your secrets come to light Deep in this cup of time
Face the music
Sing along with inescapable surprise
no pretence here at night
Out of power
the witching hour ninety minutes
slowly spin you upside down
You can’t drown it out
You cry in the morning You cry in the night No way out
You write me a story
Honey, don’t fool me
You tell me you’re doing fine all the time
You cry in the morning You cry in the night

Solitaire

Sur la mer, sur la mer, sur la mer à toi et moi
On dérive, dérive dérive vers un orage
Qui aurait cru que même nous aurions du malheur? Bah d’accord - on ne peut pas lutter contre le temps
C’est un temps dangereux temps dangereux
Sur la mer, sur la mer, su la mer à toi et moi
Et les voiles, oh les voiles oh les voiles, se déchaînent
Alors, le vent nous portera portera sans direction
Bag d’accord - on ne peut pas lutter contre le temps
C’est un temps dangereux temps dangereux
Une autre nuit blanche dans ce bateau mon cœur bat comme un éclair
une ombre dort au fond de la mer désespérément, je demande à la Lune: apporte-nous de la fortune
Sur la mer, sur la mer sur la mer à toi et moi
On dérive, dérive dérive vers un orage
Qui aurait cru que même nous aurions du malheur?
Je pleure et crie, qui entendra ma tristesse plus que toi?
Solitaire
sur la mer
Solitaire, juste toi et moi
Toi et moi
Toi et moi

Rouge
03:19
|

|
Rouge, rouge, la couleur du désir Laisse-moi, laisse, laisse-moi partir
ou tu tomberas sous mon charme toxique Nostalgie profonde au fond de la nuit
Peau d’abricot, bouche de cerise
Va va voulez-vous faire un pari?
Bientôt tu connaîtras la couleur du mépris ça tue plus lentement que le Vert de Paris
le Vert de Paris
Pea d’abricot, bouche de cerise la couleur du mépris
Une rose sombre, un mauvais augure
Jeu pour deux, deux pairs d’yeux dur
Un sort qui se défait, tu sors satisfait
L’amour se’n va au large, maintenant c’est la fin

Carousel

From all who came before us a wave return to land
It moves just like the tide the velvet of the night the river of your mind
as one
From miles below the water and deep unbounded love
It moves just like the tide the velvet of the night the river of your mind
as one
From seed into a forest all life returns to land
It moves just like the tide the velvet of the night the river of your mind
as one

Reprise

|
The burden of my mind lies heavy on my chest We’re running out of time I don’t know what’s right can I hide, with you?
I just want to rest
my body on your bed You tied me up inside
I don’t know what’s bad can I try, with you?
Blue as I can be
Hold me in the middle of the night
After all’s been said
Slowly I digress
The future to the past
Do you want out of this mess? Can you touch me?
Blue as I can be
I woke up from a dream
Hold me in the middle of the night

about
After three critically acclaimed EP’s, Donna Blue announce their debut album ‘Dark Roses’, which paints you as vivid a picture as a film score. Coupled as songwriters and in real life, too, Bart and Danique indeed sourced the inspiration for the album from realms beyond music, skimming the cream of movies, art, and myths of the world together. The synergy of two artistic minds resulting in 11 dreamlike tracks, lining your senses like a mirage. The atmosphere romantic, yet with all the darkness of the thorns included.
Moving from dream state to lush sensory excitement, the album plays with the feeling of being alive, yet in a carefully sculpted parallel world. For those who choose to venture down into their grainy universe, the reward will be tantalising: bursting with soundscapes, twangy Western guitars and sensual vocals. Donna Blue leads the way into bygone, or perhaps, for the poet and believer, future days - an escape from the mundane. With this full length debut, Donna Blue creates a space for imagination, leaving the ultimate degree of illusion up to the listener to decide for themselves.
