lyrics

You time keeper,
you drinker of days,
you count on your fingers
all the waters you weigh.

You weather maker,
you changer of place,
you thatcher of shelter,
you suspender of space.

You face lifter,
you splitter of light,
you sign language speaker
moving just out of sight.

You ether receiver,
transmitter of breath,
the whispers you filter and
the gossip you spread.

Almost found a tread we left behind
in the dusk approaching from the tree line;
as we fall in step we lose the light
in the dusk approaching from the tree line.

You take back the holloway,
you block all the views,
unknock all the edges,
let the standards undo.

You are yet say nothing,
how dumbly you praise.
The seat that you’re offering
and the fervour you raise.

Almost found a tread we left behind
in the dusk approaching from the tree line;
as we fall in step we lose the light
to the dusk approaching from the tree line.

And so you see, the things we need all grow on trees.
