Lyrics
Bring out the starsAnd fade to silence
Let the heart decide
and watch it grow
Ring out the bells
Trading in blindness
Fooled by kisses
Touched by wings
Shadow-fall
And water fills the room
Bathed in moon grey blue
Baby came and spoke her name
With promises to call again
Swimming gold in a blackened sea
She troubles me
She troubles me
Counting the ways
To fall without landing
Stumbling into flight
Descent and slide
Compressing sound
From coal to diamond
Words are knotted tight
To chords that bind
Shadow-fall
And water fills the room
Bathed in moon grey blue
Baby came and spoke her name
With promises to call again
Swimming gold in a shipwrecked sea
She troubles me
She troubles me
Received by the eye, believed by the word
Be seen to make haste, when the soundings are heard
Don't discourage me
Whittling down the wood with the stone
If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone
Don't discourage me
Bring out the stars
On the first day
The first day
The first day
