Lyrics
Glimmer
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.
With it all before you, how could it ever go wrong?
When water mirrors for you and all that you look on
Just a glimmer from the way beyond
But you're lost today, you're lost today
In each and every tide things are lost
Things we must not lose sight of
No matter if you're tired
Why suppose oracles can let you know?
With it all before you, how could it ever go wrong?
When water mirrors for you and all that you look on
Just a glimmer from the way beyond
But you're lost today, you're lost today
Between you weigh the cost against damage of
And shore it up against the flood
She's the whitest of your wave through it all
Through it all, through it all
But you're lost today, you know you're lost today
With it all before you, how could it ever go wrong?
Couldn't bear to carry couldn't lay upon
Saw a glimmer from the way beyond where we helped today
Where we helped today, where we helped today
