Cold as a River Stone Lyrics

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
