Petals in the Stone Lyrics

I learnt how to see

My hands in the darkened cove

I longed to be free

But my mind kept me chained alone

Oh, when the metal in my bones

Seems to be taking hold

I pray to free my soul

Oh, I awoke to the forming

Wings made out of the page

And blankets made of snow

Oh, when you took me out of the shade

I felt no more pain

Walking alone

Every temple knows

The art of letting go

Every undertow

Reminds me when to stay afloat

Oh the petals in the stone

Seemed to linger in the grove

Before they were carried by the crows

Oh I awoke to the forming

Wings made out of the page

And blankets made of snow

Oh when you took me out of the shade

I felt no more pain

Walking alone
