Periods of Light & Rock

from Graphite & Diamonds by The Orbweavers

/

lyrics

Water reaching to my knees,
Dragnet silt all in my sleeve,
All I know
All I believe,
Is your pull
And your leave

The Moon has always captured me,
Oh so close and desolate,
Known as water's magnet.
It drags me gently through the reeds,
Underground through lakes and seas and
Sedimentary history.

Your pull,
And your leave.

And you told me
The periods of light and rock
Are all there is.

We all turn round
And the blood flows up and down,
I take another breath,
Gravity holds my head to rest.

We all turn round and the lines etch in
Like water running down stone;
The only time travel I'll ever know.

Your pull,
And your leave.

You told me
The periods of light and rock
Are all there is.

Life pushing upwards and out,
Hair and nails lead the way
Growing and dying in the same day.

"Find a path,
Find a path,
Find a path" they said,
There must be something in the end?
There must be something in the end.

You told me
The periods of light and rock
Are all there is.
