See, the clouds are creeping towards the sun
And I'm slipping away unseen by anyone
The light is turning gray; the day is done

Water is so cold and heavy on my mind
I dreamed of walking with you but I fell behind
Looking for a road I could not find

And now the ice is stirring and spring is near
There is no one calling but the sound is clear
And though I'm not yet gone, I'm still not here

Well, you can hide behind your door
And you can leave me kneeling on the floor
But I will only love you more
Yes I will only love you more

Well, you can take from me all you think you need
And you can bury it deep, deep in the ground
But I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
No I will never let you down

I love my father and I love him well
I hope to see him someday soon
I love my father and I love him well
I hope to see him someday soon

'Cause where I live, it gets dark at night
The kind of dark eats up the light
Yeah where I live, it gets dark at night
The kind of dark eats up the light
And you know that, mother, I'd be lying
If I didn't tell you I'm afraid of night

And as I dream I'm falling down
The world moves without a sound
I'm lost as sure as I was found
The sun comes up without a sound

So I up and face another day
And I hope that kindness comes your way
Yeah I'll up and face another day
And I hope that kindness comes your way
This for you I pray
I pray for you today

And in the morning I'll be gone
Wherefore and to cannot be told
Yes in the morning I'll be gone
Wherefore and to cannot be told
A mind filled with memories
Weigh me down like gold

I love my father and I love him well
I hope to see him someday soon
I love my father and I love him well
I hope to see him someday soon

Martin was bright as he stood up and sang in the choir
His heart all in pieces was breaking; his head was on fire
They took him from that place and they buried him deep in the ground
Out with the light and quiet the sound

And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns
As the true word burns
And all of the people marching together out 'cross the floor
And all that was after is now as it was before

Now Sylvia sat staring out in the depths of a room
A moment of light from her brain cut through the dark and pierced the gloom
Children's voices were music, came faint through the wall
From such a great height she looked down; it was only the fall

And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns
As the true word burns
And all of the people marching, stomping out 'cross the floor
And all that was after is now as it was before

So look at the shadows bent forward, trying to break through the night
Huddled against the darkness, so close to the light
My voice is breaking out here in this wilderness

For I see a time that is coming; I see a time of change
The sun is burning the deserts but water's filling the plains
Noah is crazily chipping away at his ark
While all of us ready ourselves to go into the dark

And it's a slow revolution that quietly turns
As the true word burns
And all of the people marching, dancing out 'cross the floor
And all of this matter soon won't matter much anymore

Someone reaching for me now
Through the dark, reaching for me now
You need someone to hear you when you sigh
Someone to wipe away those tears you cry
Someone to hold you 'neath the darkened sky
Someone to love you more than I

I love you girl, I love you more than I can say
I love you girl, I love you more than I can say
Even with my heart in the way

I see my brother, he is walking in the sun
His back is bare, he carries no burden for anyone
I see the island, a silver line
Brother, how you shine

And all around the light
And all around the light

Now I see my father, he's so small against the sky
The child, the tree, the shadow is on his eye
He doesn't know who he's supposed to be
Father, you are free

And all around the light
And all around the light

Now I hear my mother, she is crying on the stair
Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair
And as she prays, she thinks that no one heard
Mother, you are a bird
Mother, you are a bird

And all around the light
And all around the light
And all around the light
Now all around the light

It was cold you hid your hands inside your sleeve
as we walked I heard the laughter in the leaves
See the shadows lying now where once we stood
And I would lie down with them if I only could

Music came to me it came across the sound
How you laughed and shone and danced a circle round
As we walked away I saw a shadow on the ground
There were stones inside my pockets that were found

When I was younger I heard angels on the roof
A Thousand voices singing each note was the truth
All the wise and light I have left them in my youth
And I have only just my memory for proof

See a doorway open on a darkened room
In the garden thread lies broken on the loom
See a face is smiling flicker on a wall
In the distance mountains waiting for the Fall.

See these knots around my hands around my feet
They would take me down my end for me to meet
And I grow weary of this struggle and this fight
Morning so far off from out here in the night

The Night is cold and you must leave me this I know
And empty all the places where we used to go
Before I knew you I went climbing in the snow
And called your name out to the darkness down below


I miss you
