lyrics

Silence of the Sun

Like the force that drives the flower moves the marrow in my bones

like a star is born dying like the water carves the stone

i have tread a path steady i've been laid out on the road

i have felt love's lightness as i've trembled 'neath the load

The voice that fell silent is the very voice i need

yet it cloaks its wisdom as it whispers from the weeds

i will find out later it was always in my lungs

but for now i'm breathless like the silence of the sun

In the longing hours of morning i lay lingering in a dream

where i stood upon a levee holding back a raging stream

from my eyes to the horizon there was only doom or mud

and i wondered was i foolish or a fortress in the flood

Like the stars all dwell in darkness we will shine on just the same

stagger to a candle, and rise to light the flame

and the candle casts a shadow on the wall across the way

like the light surrounds the darkness in the early hours of day

Like the force that drives the flower moves the marrow in my bones

like a star is born dying like the water carves the stone

i have tread a path steady i've been laid out on the road

i have felt love's lightness as i've trembled 'neath the load
