lyrics

moonlight’s shining in the clearing
deep blue sky
tears on sky mountain
are drawing high

try to pile them all
through the needle’s eye
lead the rush
of the ocean’s tide

by lamplight I saw smoke
that was curling around my anger
it was made of white snow
coming from the maze’s center

thought I loved a name
that my angel was singing
some spirit word on the
dry hillside
coveting my vision

singing “sweet summer nights”
“of wine and song”
horsemen’s devil lurking
but his sanctuary’s gone
and you would not sing to me
confession is foregone
I’ll wear the stones down
under my feet
my own flight my pawn

misguided wish for fire’s song
chaos in the veil that we’re walking upon
my prayer is tired but my rosary is long
that’s the effigy I’ll hold
til the shadow’s gone

moonlight’s shining in the clearing
deep blue sky
tears on sky mountain
are drawing high

try to pile them all
through the needle’s eye
lead the rush
of the ocean’s tide
