A Forest Of Stars Not Drinking Water
This song is dedicated to the memory of Ben Hanson
Lost to it all under such a weight of water
The pull of the world and all its in-betweens
Put faith in stone and rope to keep you down there
Faith in nothing else
Faith in nothing else
I presume you surveyed their stunted dance from that moorside with weary eyes and wished it well
The twinkling lights in the valley waving you home
The twinkling lights in the valley waving you home
Not enough eyes on though. HORIZON though
Not enough eyes on
A deep breath, a last breath, then paid the ferryman with a bag of stones
Gave it all to such a weight of water
We all waited up for you, but the trail went cold before we chanced to look
It was the work-shy rope that gave you up
Such a weight of water
Weight of water, faith in nothing else
Faith in stone, faith in nothing else
Faith in stone and rope, faith in nothing else
Faith in stone and rope. Faith in nothing else
Faith. Faith in stone and rope
Faith in nothing else
