Carrie Newcomer - Air and Smoke lyrics

I saw the ocean stretch like fabric Like fine silk out on the sea A moving scarf of light and water Forever changing me Verse: I heard singing in the evening As the sky turned indigo Each beating heart, plays a different part In a hope that won't let go Chorus: And the veil of night keeps falling But the God of love keeps calling And our voices keep on rising Like prayers of air and smoke Verse: There are threads that pull between us And there are common things we know We recognize a simple kindness And a hope that won't let go Chorus: Bridge: We smile into the sunset we weep into our hands Each season surely pa** as water moves through sand Verse: In the distance the thunder rumbles And a baby starts to cry A mother tucks in a blanket And she sings a lullaby Chorus It's so easy but we make it so hard Love is simple as soap May we live to say that we saw the day But for now we'll live on hope May we live to say that we saw the day But for now we'll live on hope
