Emily Barker & Red Clay Halo - Calendar lyrics

rate me

will we hold onto the light or just play until it fades?

will we draw a curtain across the sky and count down all our days?

will our veins be filled with sand and our hearts be filled with ache?

when the desert takes the land and the ground begins to shake

ground begins to shake ground begins to shake

Chorus:

No! Let's sing us a song 'til all seas become calm

'til all selves become one another

then let's sing it again to remember where we've been

all we lost and all we’ve learnt from each other

Will the winds above the lake and the flowers in the glen

one night sleep and never wake one night dream a darkened end

will all power turn to pain when the birds take flight and leave?

will our intellect come save us or fail us when in need

or fail us when in need fail us when in need

Chorus

To the long-forgotten fields where your childhood memories lay

to all the trees you ever climbed and the rivers where you bathed

to all tomorrows shores that your children will all comb

to the comets and the stars that they’ll be wishing on

they’ll be wishing on they’ll be wishing on

Chorus
