lyrics

Oh the quiet
Swell I’m brimming
Prize me open
Pour me out
Dirty windows
Break the morning
On our bodies
On our bodies
Fifty certain
Whips are cracking
In the school yard
As you pass
And a stone sighs
“Why you got to
Why you got to
Move so fast?”

Oh the bird is
Held by hands large
But there are no arms
And there are no words
And the crossing
It’s not easy
The sea’s alive
The sky’s closed in
But I choose ocean
From a table
Under a hand
Safe on land
There the window
Stands between us
Too small for these
Clumsy hands

Three little steps
And we’re there now
Glory at the edge of dreams
Glory at the edge of dreams
Glory at the edge of dreams
Glory at the edge of dreams
