lyrics

Out under the alders
I sat all day
and told stories to the dead Memories as a child
The earth bestows
Through the woods of my heart The oldest lexicon
they led me on
I followed the stories home

Time passes through me
Suddenly not who I was before
Honor experience, significance
Not passing through the door

The streets are wet with rain How to transform?
And my little shoes are scuffed With no rite of passage
And your hand is way too big Through the unknown
And it swallows mine With no guide
And the pain that sits between us
Is this giant shiny longing
But until the time is right
We treat it like a baby bird
And in my heart there is an owl
and it's watching yes it's watching
yes it's watching
everything

Come the high summer
I'll find the pool
And offer my flowers there After all these trials
Painfully displayed
Join my voice to the song But I still recall
The water sings The wilds
We have always been home And the laughter that remains

The threads are shining golden
and they hang between the stars How to transform?
and all the roaring hearts are commanding us With no rite of
Saying, "open up those doors, dammit, Passage
take these gorgeous gifts, Through the
oh, lift those stubborn chins and step in to it." Unknown
In my heart there is a spider With no guide
and it's weaving yes it's weaving
yes it's weaving everything
