Sleeping At Last - Slow & Steady

You carved our initials into these family trees
When the branches are bare and broken
Love is so hard to reach, oh
We’ve learned to brace for the worst
And to … to read the last pages first
Surrender feels safe

Maybe the soul is the soil that holds the fallen seed
Or the light pouring down
In between the rain clouds daring life to reach
Maybe it’s the rings in the trunk of the tree
A birthmark time will leave to measure the past, oh

We can’t dream when we’re wide awake
Or fall in love with a heart too strong to break
Faith is expensive to taste
And time … time is borrowed loose change
That’s already been spent

Maybe the soul is the tone of voice
That unearthed the words that we needed
Maybe the soul is a suitcase that holds the backup plan
A collection of keys and the patience we need to start again
Maybe it’s the thresholds that swallow us whole
As we learn to let go in spite of the dirt on our clothes
