about
This song rolled off the tip of my tongue just the way it is. I opened my mouth, and out it came. I regarded it for a few moments, and I put it into the computer for all of you to listen to. Songs like that are a little tricky for me to write about. It's kind of like writing about a song you've only heard once. Can you be sure of what you heard? We've got themes of struggle and forces greater than ourselves. We've got nature and love. We've got storms and stillness. We've got searching, and we've got the future. What does that all add up to? Listen, and let me know what you hear.
lyrics
At the foot of the highest climb
is there part of you that's clinging to the ground?
Who needs to peer into far off lands?
Who needs to know the way the sky is wrapped around"
On the gust of a springtime breeze is a snowflake
And there's plenty more to come
But I'll be climbing for a long long way
Until the Earth and air have opened into one
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
I've seen the moon, It's a shining thing
And so is love, and the clouds don't cover that
I've seen the sky, it's a wide wide world
I'm saying so is my love when I see her smiling back
And in a season we'll break this curse
With an artifact uncovered from the Earth
So for a season we'll look far and wide
Uncover everything before us as we search
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
is there part of you that's clinging to the ground?
Who needs to peer into far off lands?
Who needs to know the way the sky is wrapped around"
On the gust of a springtime breeze is a snowflake
And there's plenty more to come
But I'll be climbing for a long long way
Until the Earth and air have opened into one
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
I've seen the moon, It's a shining thing
And so is love, and the clouds don't cover that
I've seen the sky, it's a wide wide world
I'm saying so is my love when I see her smiling back
And in a season we'll break this curse
With an artifact uncovered from the Earth
So for a season we'll look far and wide
Uncover everything before us as we search
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
Waiting for the storm to call
The stillness of the Earth
