lyrics

Through ice water
my eyes caught her 
I’d seen her last 
the summer past

On a bright morning 
a storm was forming
in the sky to the west
I could feel it in my chest

The stone soldier
her eyes colder than winter rain
she was sheltered by her pain

My confused failures
suffuse and paler than thunderclouds
still these summer doubts remain

Through clay ceilings we’ll be lowered down 
dust motes reeling, sunlight all around

My eyes caught her
a size taller outside a tomb
the cold cocoon
the tides had called her
the frayed psalter was in her veins
those ancient sweet refrains
