Gentle Pulsing Dust

First The Rain begins / And the quiet it settles in / And it’s awesome… / And it covers everything / And then The Rain rains more / And then a knock at the door / Says “you lost em”… / Thin old face, come in. / And it rains for a seventh day
He takes my hand in his / His face an unsmiling grin / And it falls on… /
…falls on everyone / I bind my day to Him, / I feel my time growing thin / And I’ve lost em… / I’m the colour of The Rain. / And it rains for a seventh day / And it rains and the fiddlers play, Singing all the way
See the… / See the grey stones / Green and grey stone, then the way home / Hear the ship’s groan, then the wind’s poem: “Find a way home! Seize a way home! Haul a way home! / Seize a way home find a way home / Then the way home finds us finds us finds us...”
Oh…The Rain, The Rain, The Rain
Then the rains roll in / Water it fills our homes and he steps in, / And we’ve lost em… / In the colour and The Rain, / No time and no name
And when my rains roll in / He’ll open the door but I’ll walk in / Til I’ve lost em… / I’m the colour and The Rain, one time in His name
And it rains for a seventh day / And it rains and it rains and it rains and the fiddlers play
Singing all the way, / Singing all the way, / Singing all the way
Oh…

On The Ground
07:05

On the ground / In great silence, in great sound / In great footsteps on the ground / Ask your voices where they’re found, / In the forest, all around
In your sound…
Giant voices, tiny town / Waves keep breaking on the Sound / Ask your sister where she’s found, / She’ll say “waiting on the ground”
In your sound... On the ground /
Ohhh
In those days, lost in mind, lost in thought, left behind / Take an average house, float into the air and the memories within’ll get lost or repaired... / Ain’t no voices, ain’t no sound, / Ain’t no footsteps on the ground, / Underground / In your sound… on the ground
Ohhh

Song Of Wood

Take me to the hills / Take me through the shadows / Endless ways to wheel / Down the valleys below
Oh…
Gave my love a lake / But the lake was shallow / Ploughed my son a field / But the field lay fallow
Oh…
Angel on a throne / Devil on a wagon / God up on a stage / Grass around the tower / Tower in a field / Field is full of family / Family underground / And the valleys below
Oh…
Heading for that lake / Heading towards the shallows / So sew seeds in that field… / And the valleys below.
Oh…

Finally Home
07:21
|

I was alone, I was finally home / in the fields with the stars and the corn, /
the old clothes and the photographs of the children when they were born
I turned on my radio and / dialled into the old world / and the old sound...
who who who who
I stayed out late with the barn cats, /
til the barn cats were all full grown. /
I fell in love with a haystack, / it was
a place I could call my own
I turned on my radio, I dialled into
the old world / and the old sound...
who who who who
I’ll climb into my old red truck, / I’ll drive towards that old world, / towards my sound, / then I’ll drive drive drive drive away away from this town!
Lalala lalala lalala

I was in the wind with the wind in me / waving from the crown of an old dead tree / staring at the lake staring back at me / see the whole world start to turn
I was in the rain with the rain in me / falling from a cloud I could barely see / staring at the fog staring back at me / see the colours start to run
Oooh, turn again
I was in the waves with the waves in me / floating on the top of a rolling sea /
staring at the sky staring back at me / and we swallow up the sun
Oooh, turn again
Wind come in, come on (tell them i’m coming), / as the blossom falls (tell them I’m coming), / as the breathing moss (tell them I’m coming), / gently covers walls (tell them i’m coming)
I was in the woods with the falling trees, / leaves were in the air that was breathing me; / breathing in the air now my body takes leave / as we turn turn turn again
Oooh (again)
Wind come in, come on (tell them I’m coming), / as the body falls (tell them I’m coming), / as the breathing moss (tell them I’m coming), / gently covers walls, tell them I’m … Wind…
Tell them I’m… Wind
