Fifty Days Lyrics

Dawn-light through the curtains

Falling gently on your cheek

As you dream of Compostela

And I hold you as you sleep

Fifty days we searched through deserts

Over mountains over clouds

Where we learned to find forever

When we learned to live the now

And following the footfalls of a million weary ghosts

To the rhythm of our heartbeats

By the compass of our souls

Late last night we walked along the ancient rainy streets

While our pilgrim angels fought the wine

To keep us on our feet

The stony saints impassive as we stumbled down the row

To the rhythm of our heartbeats

By the compass of our souls

Did we find what we were looking for

Or maybe what we need?

Are we wiser are we stronger

Or just gracious in defeat?

But this morning is the promise

Of another chance fulfilled

So let the sunlight dry the evidence

Of every tear we've spilled

And let it stretch out to forever

Let the universe unfold

To the rhythm of our heartbeats

By the compass of our souls
