When the wind gave up its job

from Taking Time by Arran Page

/

lyrics

Eternal light, it glows inside me,
it opens wounds, and heals them slightly
and you can see me if you open your eyes, if you'd be so kind

Endless dark, it drowns me nightly
I close my eyes and it holds me tightly
and you won't know me with your eyes wide open
Why don't you close your eyes?

and now she's falling asleep
brown river flowin across her cheek
and the ruffled pages and cold coffee sat there ages
when the wind gave up its job for a week

When light gave up, we made our own source
exchanging whispers, taking heaven by force
We are all Gods, we built our own throne
and we witnessed the forging of the first stone

and now she's falling asleep
brown river flowin across her cheek
and the ruffled pages and cold coffee sat there ages
when the wind gave up its job for a week

Now she's gone, the ash will settle,
instead of following the bird of flame
Is this the word of God or the Devil?
Is this the reason I don't know your name?

and now she's falling asleep
brown river flowin across her cheek
and the ruffled pages and cold coffee sat there ages
when the wind gave up its job
when the wind gave up its job
when the wind gave up its job for a week
