The wind howls 'cross the ice floes   Sends the frozen snow skidding   A river on a river hardened over   It doesn't know the way it's going   Is it north or south or westward   It just glides across the shorelines 'til it's over      You came for me in fast-forward   On a claim for something ordered   That went through and past the history that held you   Tell my own story through you   Tell it loud to never lose you   A moth caught by the flame it cannot measure      There we go again, wishing something bolder   Trying to push and pull inside this moment   Trying to mold this life within our hands      This is where the whole world keeps on turning   This is where we come undone      Will they measure me by branches   Count the rings and take my ashes   Mark the ground where I fell and carry on   Or will we fight against the silence   Fill our days with noise and violence   Not recognise our hearts when we are done      There we go again, wishing something bolder   Trying to push and pull inside this moment   Trying to mold this life within our hands      This is where the whole world keeps on turning   This is where we come undone      We don't know the way it's going   Is it north or south or westward   Just glide across the shoreline 'til it's over   'Til it's over   Over...
