Lyrics

[00:40.06] The willow still she cries that lonely song
[00:45.86] It's been so long
[00:47.91] And the stars are the same stars with the same truth
[00:56.00] And in that river's secret still shivering
[01:01.50] The reckoning
[01:03.54] That came like thunder on September 1st
[01:27.24] 4 of them go blind with confidence
[01:32.93] It was in their prints
[01:35.06] Running like the ground was made of fire
[01:42.98] Who could know the terrible deliverance
[01:48.75] The consequence
[01:51.02] Was hidden under the water's diamond eyes
[02:14.54] 3 of them are still
[02:18.10] Waiting for a sign
[02:20.11] they drop the line
[02:22.48] Filling with a horrible numb
[02:30.20] The moment whipped against the rocks
[02:34.20] It was deafening
[02:35.96] Threatening to grow them up forever
[02:47.30] Are you Daniel
[02:50.75] Your signature on the breeze
[02:54.59] Your memory has watched me
[02:58.58] But am I a fool to think you
[03:02.48] Would wait in this place
[03:41.13] The willow takes it's place and gives her arm
[03:46.65] Her strongest arm
[03:48.86] To the hold the rope that was never meant to kill
[03:56.71] The current ate him like a serpent Vanishing
[04:02.48] Vanishing
[04:04.53] Nothing turns a mother from her will
