Discography

As a poet, Heather Nova writes poetical lyrics:

Kiss me, kiss me, under a glow-star sky;

If they're stuck on the ceiling I don't mind.

It's a brittle world but it's soft inside

I'll make the milky way for you, only you

You, only you.

And I will always ride far into the night with you,

And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.

Love me, love me, under a glow-star sky,

It's a galaxy when we get high

And sleep to the junkies' lullabies;

I close my eyes for you, only you

You, only you.

And I will always ride far into the night with you,

And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.

I touch your face, I'm flying over fields,

I touch this moment – it's mine.

I'm an angel, I'm a parasite,

I'm a vessel – I shine.

Kiss me, kiss me under a glow-star sky,

We'll be digging up soil someday, sometime,

So hold me now, hold me tight,

I'll make the milky way for you, only you,

You, only you.

And I will always ride far into the night with you,

And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.

—from Glow Stars on the eponymously titled album. And this, the chorus from Island on the Oyster album:

I need an island,

Somewhere to sink a stone.

I need an island,

Somewhere to bury you

Somewhere to go.
