They sail away to the other side of ocean And we will never see them again We will Never see them again Springs and autumns How could we count them We could never count them So many streets in big cities We have Gold and diamonds And war machines We have history we have our own Shadows we know songs and We've read books Countless Countless and numberless They Left us sailed away across the ocean The longing Is strong Stronger than the tides Stronger than the ways Of our sun We have troubles We have joys We have Human history With it they left us How can we reach How we need to fall to reach Beyond

I've been scarred by the rage Of the sweet soft sun And you turn the other cheek In your sleep And I'm gone I am easy to forget My face - a blank white page My touch - the dust The wind dances with My face - a blank white page I am easy to forget And I've smelled the sweet scent of sharp sharp knives And I would Curse my wanderings If i were not Scared Of what may become

At least I told you truthfully How it was The seasons They don't do it Any more Spring . . . I've faked its ecstasy Sometimes To remember How it was Spring has always been The worst of them all And summer It is torture For anyone Not Warm to the bones Fall I don't notice At all And winter It is always Anyway At least I told you truthfully how it was I don't go out Of the dark Any more

two lost 02:33
Two children Broken and lost Afraid Fingers frozen With fear but eyes open Mouths open To light Two lost children I found you Did you not find Me?

yes. 05:05
We have all to live for We have the silence to use As compassion We have the voice When silence is murder We have all to live for Don't we have air And don't we have lungs that know breathing And even when there is less air Each day And even if the lungs are less with each day All the more All the more We have that to live for

about

A collaboration between Elo-Mall Toomet (voice and words) in Tartu, Estonia and Peter James (Music, production and images) in Perth, Scotland, born out of their long awareness and appreciation of each other's work.

"Yes" begins with the end of the mythical era and then tries to deal with the life in the world that "they sailed away" from. In the end finding not a cure, but something to hold on to, a mantra perhaps, or a way of existing that has hope and light in it.

The download comes with five digital images taken by Peter James at Mersehead nature reserve.
