lyrics

And fire rising on the edge of the field
Cuts the tension of a predawn day.

And the dead flowers in a picture on your wall
Fill a broken terracotta vase.

And after vows are made,

The air sounds in the evergreens,
As the river pulls the ground away.

The dark begins to fade

I’m losing track of what I was back then
As it all begins to elevate.

And now the world keeps falling around me
As the dawn hits the plain below.

I’ve never been this high before
To see the end through a veil of snow.

And if a storm sets in and the lightning falls,
I’ll take cover ‘neath a rock pile

Until the snowfields glow in the moonlight.

An open pit full of windblown trash
Is all that’s left of the house they made.

The screen opens to a kitchen unlit
The shadow moves through a desert a cave.

Of what am I afraid?

Things trouble the clear blue
Of a still semi-frozen lake.

Is it a big mistake?

To move upward through the smaller trees
As the sun rises with the stakes

And now the world keeps falling around me
As the dawn hits the plain below.

I’ve never been this high before
To see the end through a veil of snow.

And if a storm sets in and the lightning falls,
I’ll take cover ‘neath a rock pile

Until the snowfields glow in the moonlight.

The path winding through an aspen grove -
The deadly safety of a world that quakes

And all that’s happened is moment’s eclipse
In an endless fight against the ache.

A feeling I can’t shake

It comes back to me now and then
And for a moment all I am awakes

From a world that’s fake

Out of the torpor of the flatlands
Into a wild wide open space.

Where the world keeps falling around me
As the dawn hits the plain below.

I’ve never been this high before
To see the end through a veil of snow.

And if a storm sets in and the lightning falls,
I’ll take cover ‘neath a rock pile

Until the snowfields glow in the moonlight.
