lyrics

Dawn draws near, the end of an age is here,
wayward stars crossing my thoughts tonight.
What would I see there, after the top stair?
I could always run far away.
Sweeter scents offer a tale to tell,
Merry sounds fill up this waking hour.
What do I mean by all that is inside?
All that is tender, yet still like stone?
He set me free by giving me this one last job to do.
He made me lovely, telling me the truth of who we are.
Door unlocked, I look with a quiet shock,
drink the scene as though I’d been thirsty my whole life.
All of your things are carelessly thrown on
the sill of the window, so typically you.
He set me free by giving me this one last job to do.
He made me lovely, telling us the truth of who we are.
