the twentieth of august.

Time hangs around my neck
Like a charm
Only for you it’s defenses
Will disarm
And I bowed my head in silence
Begged to hear you still
Or split the earth with violent love
Let us be filled

Quiet down in disarray
Make the shaking hearts feel brave
Winding paths to be made straight
Please don’t let this stay the same

In half an hour this could all
Look wrong again
So heal my eyes and keep the fear
From closing in
You cause life to spring up from
The broken ground
Then let this barren place be
Filled with a new sound

Quiet down in disarray
Make the shaking hearts feel brave
Winding paths to be made straight
Please don’t let this stay the same
