Johnny Flynn, Robert Macfarlane - No Matter The Weight lyrics

I stopped short of the forest spring
Too dark to see, too scared to think
Stranger in a strange land spirit on a blink

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand we went on together
To cannot sing no matter the weight
No matter the weather no matter the weight
No matter the weather, oh

I heard boats rake the roots of trees
To shore the field too tenderly
We shook off the cloaks of fate
The way lit by the river's ease

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand we went on together
To cannot sing no matter the weight
No matter the weather no matter the weight
No matter the weather, oh

I heard bells ring the death of the times
So casually, sung down the line
Oh my heart stepped like a thief
Along the poetry of grief

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand we went on together
To cannot sing no matter the weight
No matter the weather no matter the weight
No matter the weather, oh
