Light

Emily Barker

Compositor: Ben Lloyd / Emily Barker

Burnt leaves rode the winds that blew like ghosts through shivering trees
and battered against the windows like thieves that were trying to get in
then you broke through the glass and light fell in shapes on the ground

Clouds built a storm despite us, still you said you'd wait for me
and I took some time to get to where you said the shelter would be
then we woke up the flowers and boundlessness roars all around!

Chorus
You wend your way like a dove through dark
throwing faith at a dangerous hearts
now every silence finds the words to shout
truths we knew nothing about

Blind-cornered and mapless
the crash was as soundless as the instinct of seas
light shook and it splintered
and the water reflected all the beauty of that scene

Chorus
