lyrics

Lately I’ve been soaring in my sleep
O’er wires and high above the rooftops and tall trees
Maybe I should be more afraid
Foundations that I haven’t laid
Oh here it comes the sky’s caving again

Little harder to feel the faith each time
The beauty overwhelming but the words that come don’t rhyme
My notebooks guard a burning mind
The facts and truths his fury find
Help me find the strength once again

Alone I’d be a horse slipped of his carriage
In forests run and drunken grow at night upon the darkness
Madly charge the rise or fall
Live to die and risk it all
And lay besides the angels of emptiness

Darling, put your shaky hands in mine
Impossible to know what will be coming down the line
Throw aside this heavy load
And dance upon the open road
Darling take my shaky hands in thine
