lyrics

This one too shall pass
This one too shall pass
Like any constellation in
Winter’s sky change fast

I know this can’t last
I know this can’t last
The ways that we have
Learned to live disregard
What must last.
The weight of what has been
Done too heavy for one man.

What could take or give away?
The very lives that we have made?
Oh I saw you I saw you leave your gift
By the water.
In a basket you made from things collected
In autumn.

All our lives enshrouded in mystery and lore
But I know that you see what we’re loosing
I know that you see what we’ve lost.

How could things get this way?
Have courage child, you say.

There are things unseen that must be tended in Autumn.
And the water looks back with eyes who have not forgotten.
Those who tend are fast to work when the sun comes up,
All those prayers sung by grand, grandmother’s tongues.
Cold clay people spring from earth
A loom that holds us all of hum humming stones.

We’re alright.
