Peeling Off The Layers Lyrics

Wildbirds & Peacedrums Peeling Off The Layers

The river did come to me
Straight into my arms
I tried to hold it
But it just ran through my fingers

The Ocean did come to me
Straight into my arms
I tried to carress it
But it ran through my fingers

Water will keep running
Rivers will turn
(4x)

So how can I ever find
What I'm looking for
When it's been frozen
Stuck at the horizon?

The wind blows from North to South
But I'm still where I was
Keep taking some shirts on
And taking them off

Peeling off the layers
Peeling it off
(3x)

I wish I could find the cure
And to know my disease
But like nothing is heard of
The circle of formal life

And that line will carry me
To the other side
That is looking just like this
With the sink kind of open pipe

Everything is open
Leaking about
Everything is open
Leaking around
Everything is open
Leaking around
Everything is open
Leaking about
