lyrics

Sun upon leaves that catch the dew
None catch me as I fall
Beneath this canopy of new
Sink three I forever recall

Long runs the river that carries through
With shores that forever hold blind
The shadows within the surface blue
Are the shadows lain over this mind

Is it in care, you summon me
From the tree I have made my mast?
If you will, I will fight with thee
Till all left in me’s left in the past.

Without fear do I find all’s left is the roots
Below though they creep up to meet
As before I will find one more breath from the woods
Silence shutters for now at my feet

Again do I move for I cannot be here
There is nothing that’s gained from a rock
But I’ll take what I can if it lets me do so
If it will, I would raise the whole lot

Is it in care, you summon me
From the tree I have made my mast?
If you will, I will fight with thee
Till all left in me’s left in the past.

Long my life, so brief the three were here
And the moments between us none caught
But the light was there and our fire was warm
Kept in brightness we never forgot

If only time were no excuse
For shaping the stones unkind
There’d be less of the stilled and far less of the waste
And more of our hearts intertwined

Is it in care, you summon me
From the tree I have made my mast?
If you will, I will fight with thee
Till all left in me’s left in the past.
