Silver Reeds - Cold As A River Stone

Copied!

All the worms in the ground
Dance together to the sound
Of your heart, still it beats
As we wrap you in your sheets

There's a crack in the wall
Summer crumbles to the fall
Little roots pull apart
All the fractures in your heart
Little workers in the flowerbed
As you keep the seasons fed
As you keep the seasons fed
As you keep the seasons fed

There's light on pale bone
Moon shining all alone
The veil in the air was light as a feather
And carved out of pale bone
And cold as a river stone

There's a man on the hill
He is standing very still
Blackened eyes, far away
He's been standing there all day

And that man took you away
Through the silent sideways light
Golden path towards the night
Follow footsteps shining bright
Eyes are melting from your head
Bony hands in the watershed
Flower crowns and things you said
Fill your lonely unmade bed
I will miss you when I run
In the hum of the autumn sun
I'll remember who you are
When I'm flying in my car
'Cause I've sealed up the rust
And I'll leave behind the dust
I'll be living life for us
I am living life for us
Like the rain that tumbles downward, we all cease to fly
Let us fight to let the light in, soon we all must die

Too soon we all must die

Biography

Silver Reeds es la última iteración de la pasión de toda la vida de la cantautora Sandra Zelazny por crear canciones. Emotivas, melódicamente concisas y poéticas, las canciones capturan fácilmente la atención y el corazón del oyente, con un borde refrescantemente honesto de crudeza, ingenio y extrañeza.
