lyrics

Hello, said the girl to the other,
as she hid in mother’s long skirts.
Hello, said the other to the girl,
as he moved closer to close.

And she wondered, can I trust him.

His wet nose, it pressed against hers,
as she heard the sound of his hunger.
Words sharper then knives,
cut of their ears, and made them blind.
They couldn’t talk, however could they understand
each other’s worlds.

What if you gave her some of your instincts,
to judge people, to judge character.
oh wise man, why you look so proud.
Won’t you lend her, some of your good luck.

Hello, said the girl to the man,
as a boy held on to hear tightly.
Hello, said the man,
and walked away.

And she wondered, can I trust him.

Can I trust him,
Can I trust him,
Can I trust him,

Should I trust him

about

Elenne May Amsterdam, Netherlands

"This is a band for people who like to listen to music, truly listen. The music is beautifully layered, breathes space as well as atmosphere, with enough left to discover. The slightly mysterious voice of singer Elenne is soft, broken and hinting at unknown things, perhaps even the mystery beyond what we can hear." - WoNoBloG ... more
