Shifts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Spiraling nights in the void Weathered coat and a dagger If I dream back my youth I can still hear you sing A voice that will die on a mountain And I fear that I've stayed here just a little too long I had to go where you couldn't follow [Pre-Chorus] In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind All the fortunes they took away [Chorus] The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe [Verse 2] Cast in a trench of fire I can see the sky is a ceiling And when my heart dies down I am long gone On the fields of summer's green Away from fall and famine [Pre-Chorus] In my weariness I still hear you singing in my mind All the fortunes they took away [Chorus] The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe [Bridge] I'm in every season The one you have always known Life did not reward you So find your way to the river and let go [Chorus] The shifting earth beneath us, nothing to observe The clouds at our feet, nothing to observe The sun was made a jewel, nothing to observe When at night it did sleep, nothing to observe
