lyrics

There's a knocking in your heart with knuckles bare, now. Deep behind your dewy eyes the longing stares out. The footsteps on the groaning stair come like a wing and each one sparkles upon the bending wood. How, how, how your feet get left behind, how, how, how, it rises in your mind, how, how, how, it's falling in like waves, how, how, how, it's humming in your ears and it sparkles upon the bending wood. Here the shadows lurch around in the hot and cold gusts, the faces carved into the ancient yew smile, even in the deepest night its roots are warm arms, beckoning. Lord, lord, lord, we're all alone....
