about

“ It is a pleasure to hear the song through Devendra’s distinct voice and vision. He is not only a prodigious artist, but one whom I have always appreciated for the way that he fosters community. Together we have decided that that we would like all proceeds from this cover to go to the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles. Providing housing, healthcare, and assistance, the DWC is an important organization and one that is so meaningful to us both. ” Ioanna Gika

lyrics

Cast along the way,
spinning out in circles,
Waking decibels.
beckoning, beckoning for you

Evening light has past
thought I'd hear something at last.
Through the silence
I was beckoning for you.

I'm in love here, but I don't belong
I can touch you, but I can't hold on

Let me hear the swan sing
melody of mourning.
Sweeter than the silent
exit without warning.

Froze a memory
captured our love perfectly,
but ice in hand won't last
longing for the past

How did we get here?
Feel so far yet exist so near.
Darkness through I'm through
beckoning, beckoning for you

I'm in love here but I don't belong
I can touch you but I can't hold on

Let me hear the swan sing
melody of mourning.
Sweeter than the silent
Exit without warning.
