Laura Veirs - Bright Glittering Gifts lyrics

I have scene after scene, after scene of you Pouring through me like sand through an hourgla** It's almost empty, you with the pure heart You with the peach pie and the earth in your hands It's this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful view Well, the sands are shifting under me now All the water's murky and all the smoke is thick I'm lost in the waves but I know I wanna live To see your sun fading and darkness flooding from above I see the coming of the twinkling of the starlight And Orion wield his sword to breaking night I know darkness but I feel the back of your hand I'll taste the earth and turn my face to the wind Enter a warm storm with an open heart And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark
