Steam is rising from the water
carried off to sea by the ever present breeze
we watched it float away from the far side of the bay
and in the presence of the other
its awfully hard to grieve for things you can't conceive
as the sky began to fray we started on our way
Past the lake we reached the white pines and started upon a steep incline
the sky was burning orange and the rocks were dry
we saw our feet were flying
(could you remember the time before you young?)
when only love could exist?
Up through a granite wedge there stood a plateau on a ledge
There were flowing rivers made of sand
Unknown to history was everything the eye could see
It was all too grand
All too hard to understand
(could you remember the time before you young?)
when only love could exist.
It caught you off your guard
put you in your place
what space could not contain
what time could not erase
what colors could not show
what sound could not express
it brought you to your knees
and took away your breath
where the past and future meet
and slowly swirl around your feet
as you start to breathe it in the air is bitter, cool, and sweet
It came into your heart on yellow cracking wings
it has always been a apart of you
its the reason that you sing
it is everything you've ever loved
in everything you've ever lost
it has always been inside of you
in the voices of your thoughts
it was the hum inside your ears
it was the flutter in your heart
it was right there to the end of you
and long before your start
