Shifts

Spiraling nights in the void
Weathered coat and a dagger
If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing
A voice that will die on a mountain.

And I fear that i've stayed here just a little too long.

I had to go where you couldn't follow
In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind.

All the fortunes they took away!

The shifting earth beneath us
Nothing to observe!
The clouds at our feet
Nothing to observe!

The sun was made a jewel
Nothing to observe!
When at night it did sleep
Nothing to observe!

Cast in a trench of fire
I can see the sky is a ceiling
And when my heart dies down
I am long gone on the fields of summer's green
Away from fall and famine!

In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind
All the fortunes they took away!

The shifting earth beneath us
Nothing to observe
The clouds at our feet
Nothing to observe!

The sun was made a jewel
Nothing to observe!
When at night it did sleep.

I am in every season
The one you have always known
Life did not reward you!
So find your way to the river and let go.

The shifting earth beneath us
Nothing to observe!
The clouds at our feet
Nothing to observe!

The sun was made a jewel
Nothing to observe!
When at night it did sleep
Nothing to observe!
