The Great Exhale
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at the names carved into us
Look at the days when they were lit up
Brushing my head and i feel their age
Years of radiance, years of rain
And the world stops spinnin’ when you stop spinnin’
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
I’m coming home so leave the light on for me
I’m drawing over the lunarless veil
When i’ll get in i will see you all there
I’m drawing on the great exhale
Uncertain ground so i walk lightly
Translating names of lost families
Somebody’s sleeping that you should not wake
Drifting whispers over that cave
And the world stops spinnin’ when you stop spinnin’
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh
I’m coming home so leave the light on for me
I’m drawing over the moon on this fell
When i’ll get in i will see you all there
I’m drawing on the great exhale
Wide and open spaces
In a sleep a long time
Come to waiting places
Come tonight like all the dreams
I’m coming home so leave the light on for me
I’m drawing over the moon on this fell
When i’ll get in i will see you all there
I’m drawing on the great exhale
I’m soaring in on the great exhale
