From the recording Wind Up
Lyrics
THIN PLACES
Breaking the silence at last
Shine on like searchlights
This time playing the guest
The role of your life
Clamp down hard like a vice
Shunning the turncoats
Taking your own advice
Over the Moon
Over too soon
Isn’t it good?
Good
Catching every nuance
Combing the landscape
Rich with the textures of you
Owning the time
History falling apart
Scale the last bastion
Horse tripping over the cart
Route to the end
Where have you been?
Places so thin
Thin
Things are looking up
Deep from the altered state
Back to where everything began
Matter of the crux
Peel off the dead weight layers
Get down to what you understand
By your own hand
Mountains watch on
Monuments stand
However long…
For the first day
And long for the last
You pray for a future
While cursing the past
Lie down in a clearing
Prepare for the test of wills
Things are looking up
Deep from the altered state
Back to where everything began
Matter of the crux
Peel off the dead weight layers
Get down to what you understand
By your own hand
Mountains watch on
Monuments stand
However long…
For the first day
And long for the last
You pray for a future
While cursing the past
Lie down in a clearing
Prepare for the test of wills
Catching every nuance
Combing the landscape
Rich with the textures of you
Owning the time
History falling apart
Scale the last bastion
Horse tripping over the cart
Route to the end
Where have you been?
Places so thin
Thin
