Shearwater - Mountain Laurel lyrics
[Shearwater - Mountain Laurel lyrics]
I peeled the shirt from your back
Had a look at your scars
They healed over so well
You forget where they are
But they radiate like stars
When the cataract falls
From the darkening air
And the bones of the earth
Have all been laid bare
Then heaven is right there
And in the mountain laurel
Yes, I loved you, oh
And yes, I watched the blossoms fall
We will stand in the waves
While the colors all run
And our minds fill with light
Until we start to go numb
And then we'll let it come
Had a look at your scars
They healed over so well
You forget where they are
But they radiate like stars
When the cataract falls
From the darkening air
And the bones of the earth
Have all been laid bare
Then heaven is right there
And in the mountain laurel
Yes, I loved you, oh
And yes, I watched the blossoms fall
We will stand in the waves
While the colors all run
And our minds fill with light
Until we start to go numb
And then we'll let it come
