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
