about

You cradled loveliness through walls of glass, tapping your nails on the sides, inviting conversation

lyrics

Still We Wait
V1
I held you in my hand
Lifted you from the table
Turned you in my palm
Crimson mark on your face, fragile as a lamb
V2
There’s silence in the way
Things that I’ve always known
I couldn’t make you say
Intention filling up my breath, quiet as a prayer
CHORUS
Still we wait inviting conversation
Restless walls, no power to persuade
Marks that stain then let go of my mystery
Like a child who’s hiding from me
V3
There’s history in the way
Things that you’ve always carried
I couldn’t make you stay
Questions filling up my head, then you turn away
CHORUS
Still we wait inviting conversation
Restless walls, no power to persuade
Marks that stain then let go of my mystery
Like a child who’s hiding from me

MIDDLE
Just as pearls go to ground
And scatter where they fall
Just as pearls go to ground
And scatter where they fall
They scatter where they fall
V1 Reprise
I held you in my hand
Lifted you from the table
Turned you in my palm
Crimson mark on your face, fragile as a lamb
CHORUS
Still we wait inviting conversation
Restless walls, no power to persuade
Marks that stain then let go of my mystery
Like a child who’s hiding from me
