lyrics

If death is a shadow that’s hanging around,
I will climb up the willow
and never climb down.
I’ll cling to the sunshine
that shines on my face,
until that lonely old shadow takes it away.

The words of a preacher,
the books I have read,
Who will bring comfort to the fear we are fed.
Life is a mother who labors for days,
pain can bring beauty in the
strangest of ways.

Oh the songbird sings it’s lullaby,
for the moments that we’ve found.
Will we always seek the melody
in the chaos of earthly sound.
We sing, oh, oh, oh

The songs that I sing, the words I can’t say
nothing stays golden, when we all fade away.
How can we live, with all we have lost,
I’d follow death, if you’d promise me life.

Eternity’s nothing to the ocean’s old tide,
the moon is it’s master, the beaches its child
lost in the vastness of meaningless sea,
has the moon lost its rhythm
with the stars out of reach.

We dream of a story without an end,
if nothing’s remembered, why should it begin.
Am I the writer or am I the pen,
Will you recite this story again and again.
