Lyrics
Verse 1
Roads I walked in another skin
Silt and saffron on my hands
Mother's voice across the river
Carried on a curving wind
Old doors closing in the dusk
Every threshold turns to rust
Still I carry what I must
All the weight of who I was
Pre-Chorus
But the tide has turned
Turned the salt to song
Chorus
No space left for fear
The hours spill like amber
No space left for fear
I let the long night land here
Post-Chorus
(Hold the line)
(Hold the line)
Verse 2
Brother's drumbeat under clay
Sister singing miles away
Roots that pulled me to the floor
Now they steady me once more
Scars that braid across my chest
Tell the truth I know the best
Every ending is a door
And I have walked through scores of them
Pre-Chorus
But the dust will settle
Settle into stones
Chorus
No space left for fear
The hours spill like amber
No space left for fear
I let the long night land here
Post-Chorus
(Hold the line)
(Hold the line)
(Mm, mm, mm)
Bridge
Turning turning turning low
Circles that I used to know
Turning turning turning slow
Everything I need I hold
Chorus
No space left for fear
The hours spill like amber
No space left for fear
I let the long night land here
Outro
(Mm)
Land here
(Mm)
Land here
