lyrics

In winter's chilling hold
We recall sweet days of old
The warmth of light on skin
Grass waving in the wind
The sound of a nearby creak:
Our lifeblood's timeless creep
Awakens dreams inside the meek
Of understanding that we still seek

O the flowing to and fro
Motion masks the drifting soul

Unable to find anything that can spark a fire us
We drift 'til the end of time

And yet so do I get lost as pulled downstream
Swept with all to sea as the ocean calls to me
So loud and boisterously I can't hear dear reality
So sweet and low
The very whisper of God

O the flowing to and fro
Motion masks the drifting soul

Unable to find anything that can spark a fire us
By hand or will or word
We dream of the end of time

Unable to find anything that can spark a fire us
Utterly drenched in our own wills
In hand and will and word we dream

The other…essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but…taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern.” ... more
