I'd like to know,
How you survive?
Your life's work blown away,
With a sweet aside,
A coincidence,
A singularity,
The universe has slipped through your hands,
For me it's only song,
For me it's only song,
How do you survive,
When you're gone so long?
I build with stone,
Up to the sky,
It's dark and cold and windowless,
But I want to fly,
Up to the sun,
Feed all my dreams to the machine,
Still I seek,
Where the clouds part,
And the stone is warm,
A breath of relief,
Home to work,
Work to home,
Peer through the rain on the windshield,
Stone cold at the end of the rainbow,
For me it's only song,,
How do you survive,
When you're gone so long?
I build with stone,
Up to the sky,
It's dark and cold and windowless,
But I want to fly,
Up to the sun,
Feed all my dreams to the machine,
I'd like to know,
How you survive?
Your life's work blown away,
With a sweet aside,
God roll the dice,
God move me on,
To another square,
Change my day to night,
For me it's only song,
How do you survive,
When you're gone so long?
I build with stone,
Up to the sky,
It's dark and cold and windowless,
But I want to fly,
Up to the sun,
Feed all my dreams to the machine,

Torn Sail make bold, singular, extravagant records of rare, uncompromised passion. Each of his records swerves from the
beaten track – though COSTIN always eyes his destination – and its subtle surprises still startle after repeated listens. LEISURE & TECHNOLOGY simply does this better than ever....more
Intoxicating euphoric ethereal psychedelic soul at it’s very best … and I do mean intoxicating, as the adventure never rises above heartbeat level, locked into a slow-paced groove bewitched by R&B inspirations from the late 60s and early 70’s that reach out of the darkness with an easy going vibe of love, joy and happiness.
