|
The wind howls 'cross the ice floes |
|
Send the frozen snow skimming |
|
A river on a river hardened over |
|
It doesn't know the way it's going |
|
Is it North or |
|
South or Westward? |
|
It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over |
|
You came for me in fast forward |
|
On a claim for something ordered |
|
A way through and past the history that held you |
|
I'd tell my own story through you |
|
Tell it loud to never lose you |
|
A moth caught be the flame |
|
It could cannot measure |
|
And there we go again, wishing something bolder |
|
Trying to push and pull inside this moment |
|
Trying to mold this life within our hands |
|
This is where the whole world keeps on turning |
|
This is where we come undone, undone |
|
Will they measure me by branches? |
|
Count the rings and take my ashes |
|
Mark the ground where |
|
I fell and carry on |
|
Or will we bite against the silence? |
|
Fill our days with noise and violence |
|
Not recognize our hearts when we are done |
|
There we'll go again wishing something bolder |
|
Trying to push and pull inside this moment |
|
Trying to mold this life within our hands |
|
This is where the whole world keeps on turning |
|
This is where we come undone |
|
We don't know where it's going |
|
Is it North or |
|
South or Westward? |
|
It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over |
