lyrics

Caught in a room for a night 
Actually, this night is all time 
But I’ve got a window to see 
The shining   

Blinking with white fire flies
The Morse code of the sky 
Send me a message that is
 Un-dying   

Ho hum, it’s speaking in tongues
I’m doing my best to hear it, 
This landing of new spirits 
Of new souls and somehow I know 
We’ll meet them in the distance 
We’ve known them well 
Through every feeling we’ve felt
 Being ourselves  
As we trade one form for another    

A face made of faces
Aa name made of names
And love is a light that the dark can’t contain
 Don’t hand me a hammer
 I’m not breaking out cause
 I’m not breaking down 

 I know this room well 
I’m a passenger
 Behind his open eye 

In fact 
I just told him to open his mouth
 I just told him to sing out loud 
He showed him how good it can feel to mean it   

Ho hum, it’s speaking in tongues
 I’m doing my best to hear it,
 This landing of new spirits 
Of new souls and somehow I know
 We’ll meet them in the distance 
We’ve known them well 
Through every feeling we’ve felt 
Being ourselves
As we trade one form for another
