lyrics

You put a stone upon a stone upon a stone
suddenly they collapse and you got a home
waiting while the ages pass you

and the wolves take comfort in your bones
the songs in the marrow
howling so low, so low

CHORUS:
these are the darkest days
all bleeding in color
you are the bluest fire
in the memory of another

mark the solid soil under your feet
standing only upon history
watching as the landscapes are turning
spring flowers, fire leaves and then
the old winter wind
howling so low, so low

{chorus}

take the little spirits at your feet
drinking in the morning and the night
moving through the daylight with those eyes
its a thing you just cant describe
the vision inside
it’ll get you through the night
so long, so long

{chorus}
