Plainsong Lyrics

Hey, how are you?

It's been a while, I know

But I'm still here, and you're still far away

It's been too long since I wrote, and all the

Absence lingers

Like a scar

That fades, but remains

Every year, the days keep reminding me

And they're always different

But somehow still the same

If it could be

If somehow, if only

You could still see

Who we are

In all that remembering

So much lost to that endless turning

So far back to those silent aisles

All of the distances I've walked without you

Worn-down and weary, with the weight of the miles

You will always

Sleep in the back of our hearts

In the folds and the edges

Of places we've known

But we are scattered

Far apart now

All connected but all of us

Still alone

Unmothered by memory

So much love without ways to share it

So long gone to that silent shore

Now every day is another step older

Wide-eyed and witless, and longing for more

Were you singing, were you sinking?

Were you waiting, were you thinking?

Did you lift your eyes up to the sky?

Were you silent, were your arms unfurled?

Did you lift them up to let go of the world?

Were you falling away, or learning to fly?

Let it go

Let it leave me now

Lay it down and set it free

Close my eyes and I'm there, and over

And over and over again, the sound of the sea

That always meant home to me

Let it go, let it pass beyond me

Let you be what we all become

And in the end, we are all brought together

To sleep in the silence, broken by none
