Carrie Newcomer - Where The Light Comes Down lyrics

It took dog days and years To catch a moment when it's here And that the hay bales just might Be mostly made of light And that leaves can fall like shining golden coins I can feel it in the hollow spaces In the quiet places Where the light comes down I can see it in strangers faces In the lines and traces On the winter ground Where the light comes down It took awhile before I saw That the world is mostly made of ache and awe And that some night hum with sound And sometimes silence is a noun And that dust and snow can swirl like falling scarves I can feel it in the hollow spaces In the quiet places Where the light comes down I can see it in strangers faces In the lines and traces On the winter ground Where the light comes down Ashes fall and waters rise Season change before our eyes It took awhile to finally know That a luna moth will quickly come and go And that distraction is a thief Of all that's shining and brief Gone in a brilliant startle of wings
