Emily Barker And The Red Clay Halo - Calendar lyrics

Will we hold onto the light Or just play until it fades? Will we draw a curtain across the sky And count down all our days? Will our veins be filled with sand And our hearts be filled with ache? When the desert takes the land And the ground begins to shake Ground begins to shake Ground begins to shake Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm 'Til all selves become one another And then sing it again to remember where we've been All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other Will the winds above the lake And the flowers in the glen One night sleep and never wake One night dream a darkened end? Will all power turn to pain When the birds take flight and leave? Will our intellect come save us Or fail us when in need Or fail us when in need Fail us when in need Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm 'Til all selves become one another And then sing it again to remember where we've been All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other To the long-forgotten fields Where your childhood memories lay To all the trees you ever climbed And the rivers where you bathed To all tomorrows shores That your children all will comb To the comets and the stars That they'll be wishing on They'll be wishing on They'll be wishing on Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm 'Til all selves become one another And then sing it again to remember where we've been All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other
