Darkening Hour
Embracing Memories: Reflections on Time and Loss
Lyrics
i've been trying to let go of some things
I've been trying to let go of some things
won't let go of me
Won't let go of me
from the dream into an unmade day
From the dream into an unmade day
pin the leaves up in the tree again
Pin the leaves up in the tree again
it was easy then
It was easy then
there was time to burn and clear it all out
There was time to burn and clear it all out
there was time to lie and let ourselves down
There was time to lie and let ourselves down
before the darkening hour
Before the darkening hour
but in the darkness i can see myself
But in the darkness I can see myself
in the outline of the shape you left
In the outline of the shape you left
so how do i stop short of passing everything on
So how do I stop short of passing everything on
do i forgive something i can't remember all of
Do I forgive something I can't remember all of
i don't go down those tunnels anymore
I don't go down those tunnels anymore
i don't read notes that show up under the door
I don't read notes that show up under the door
it was easy then
It was easy then
there was time to burn and clear it all out
There was time to burn and clear it all out
there was time to lie and let ourselves down
There was time to lie and let ourselves down
before the darkening hour
Before the darkening hour
there was a time when we were leaves on the same tree
There was a time when we were leaves on the same tree
among the many leaving trees
Among the many leaving trees
i hold my breath in the dream i hope in the days i have left
I hold my breath in the dream I hope in the days I have left
that this is how we meet again
That this is how we meet again
