about

"With its blend of spiky Britfolk and prime 70s Bowie glam, Selene & Endymion is...guitarishly ferocious, proof that dating a goddess isn’t all it’s made out to be." - New York Music Daily

lyrics

would you love me if I made you coffee
every morning for a thousand years
in the evening you tell me a story
about a hunter turned into a deer

we talk for hours in a sentimental fashion
breathing in the languid perfume of the moon
and pick the flowers that we'll lay out on their coffins
cold winter comes oh so soon

the light of your eyes and the curve of your smile
the lovely surprise of your skin in the dark
lie for a while and I'll be by your side
Meantime the moments won’t leave a mark

Like Selene and Endymion
we watch the string of days go by
you will shine and I will lie down
to observe you in the midnight sky

our history is just one dream after another
written down in a shaky script
I can see the here and ever after
in the curve of your blood red lips

(chorus)

when you sleep, sleep with one eye open
and you’ll see me watching over you
wake me gently and the spell will be unbroken
we’ll walk the garden in eternal bloom
