lyrics

True fear
Cast out from the oldest tree
to catalog the twirling dust of interlocking galaxies

The giants that have gone away
Their sleeper cells in disarray
With eyes of wood and scales of willow green
They're rising from the underworld
with voice boxes that carry pearls
They flicker in our window panes
and stare into our souls

Singing
Oooooo
Start again
Oooooo
Start again

Every longing is a seed
Its ticking heart is buried deep

Above the ground
beneath a roof of slate and wood
all weatherproofed
With the weight of fear and wonder pressing down
And the moment was a trembling beam
in heated glass
and in between our faces was
an inward folding breath

Yes every longing is a seed
Its ticking heart is buried deep
With the weight of all creation pressing down
And when I kissed you on the stairs
On that glowing winter's night
All the things that will outlive us
started digging for the light
All the things that will outlive us
started climbing to the light

They started drinking from the earth
and climbing to the light

Oooooo
Start again
Oooooo
Start again
