lyrics

Brittle are the branches
That bend beneath the wind outside my house:
A sign of how the season
Has moved along in search of something else.
A better place to sow its seeds;
To plough the earth and watch the turning leaves.
A kinder heart to play its part;
To pull the pulse and ring the rhythm as they sing:

‘No place I will ever go
Could I ever hope to meet a friend like you
Or ever grow
The tallest tree; the strongest pine
In a forest built on salt and sand
‘neath an ever-rainless sky.’

Hollow is the harbor,
Bereft the hull once moored along the shore.
Anchors raised and cargo staged,
The wharf once full is bustling no more.
But tides will turn, docks will dry,
And the sea is sometimes taken for the sky.
As the image breaks beneath the wake,
The surf will birth the earth and wave goodbye:

‘No place I will ever go
Could I ever hope to meet a friend like you
Or ever grow
The tallest tree; the strongest pine
In a forest built on salt and sand
‘neath an ever-rainless sky.
And this trust that I place in you,
Sometimes it burns right through me and
I’ve seen it burn you too.
And this flame, with the slightest hand,
Will never die completely.
The embers still will stand.’

“I thank you for being clear.
The truth meant more than any lie ever could.
Strengthened by this break,
I ache… I ache with...”
