lyrics

This is how a feeling grows
When it’s dangerous to stay
When the lark will sing of hope
But your ghost won’t blow away

This is how to lose a fight
When the fire begs to cease
This is turning out a light
To let a demon rest in peace

And once you held a quiet shadow to the light
To shake a memory of dancing
While the ice burns

This is giving over now
To the turning of the wheel
This is trading off a doubt
For what the silence won’t reveal

And once you held a quiet shadow to the light
To shake a memory of dancing
While the ice burns

And will some map you trace in sand
Be still enough to learn?

This is how the giver dies
When the nest has left her cold
This is how the taker tries
To forget the home he sold

And once you held a quiet shadow to the light
To shake a memory of dancing
While the ice burns

And will some map you trace in sand
Be still enough to learn?

Teach me how to die
We’ll find a better way
To wash away the time
Cause autumn’s had its say
Still awake, we’re finding
That winter’s just the same
With beauty just as blinding
