lyrics

As the doe
Attends the newborn cry
So should the shell
Reflect in heaven’s eye
All the old felt scattered on the earth
Empty gestures to nullify this curse

Greens are gone
Banished from our land
Waves like rays
Of moonlight’s tidal advance
Break themselves as water on the stone
Forsake sightlines and rearrange the bone

Scant the worried whimpers flee
A place to go a gaze to meet
Bless these children shining in the trees
For every vessel we
Say their names
Beg for rain
Watch them die
One more time

Be my shield
Save me from this storm
Send them back
The leaves can protect us no more
Shed away the softness of the horn
Freshly grown but sharper than before

Scant the worried whimpers flee
A place to go a gaze to meet
Bless these children shining in the trees
For every vessel we
Say their names
Catch their eyes
Hush their cries
One last time
Say their names
Catch their eyes
Hush their cries
One last time

Autumn wind
Sage upon the air
Swaying limbs
Who’s to say who cares
Shorn and torn and opened on the ground
Wide their ears to hear the forlorn sound
