For just a moment, amidst the movement I was calm and so at ease Nothing as pure, nothing as silent As swimming deep in the emerald waters I held my breath, I prayed to granite A golden ring down in the depths You needed time, so I had patience But I gave up just so you know And shadows can fade if you cast them away Tie them to this rusty chain, Down and down to the rocky bottom Shadows can fade if you cast them away Tie them to this rusty chain, Down and down to the rocky bottom You talk of birds, and understand them I took it in and heard the trees A trail we followed, impa**able till snow melt A stone that shatters with your throw I watch the air fall upon the surface Each perfect ring had a glinting glow My love was up for the taking Now it's been given back to him And shadows can fade if you cast them away Tie them to this rusty chain, Down and down to the rocky bottom Shadows can fade if you cast them away Tie them to this rusty chain, Down and down to the rocky bottom A golden ring down in the depths My love's been given back to him A golden ring down in the depths My love's been given back to him My love's been given back to him My love's been given back to him
