lyrics

Set apart the horse from the cart
Set in stone the marrow in the bone
Like a tramp in a timber lean-to
Create a fire that you must cling to
How the drone makes my memories swim
How the dross resembles my skin
Let the tyrants persuade those at ease
Let the hangman swing from His trapeze

You sway over me
On the ground I fly
The bells I ring
No one hears but you

The wicked prowl on every known side
Gentle gestures coaxing stolen brides
I cannot resist or fight the proud hand
I cannot dig to find my own land

Resting with a cold night on my back
Waiting for the windigo to come back
If I cannot bring him to his knees
Turn and train a thousand lovely bees

You sway over me
On the ground I fly
The bells I ring
No one hears but you

Enemy paths lead to the black waters
My footprints in snow resemble my fathers
Take time to grow there’s no time to spare
We hang like jewels from morning’s hair
The time of the eagle, the time of the bear
The time of the lamb, now let us prepare

My whole being begins at the end
My wholehearted response to my friend
Above the weather and under his wing
Beneath that shadow and over all I sing
