Lyrics
At night when she moves through the valleys
During the night, as she moves through the valleys
The weight lifts from the reservoir floor
The burden or heaviness dissipates from the bottom of a reservoir
The dial it is fixed in the distance
The gauge or marker remains fixed in the distance
In directions she'll be carried in death
She'll be guided in directions even after death
Peeling gold
Uncovering something precious or valuable
In winters' witness
In the presence of winter, bearing witness to something significant
Burning visions are lain to rest
Letting go of intense or vivid imaginations or aspirations
He plows up the earth into straight lines
He cultivates the land in straight lines
Dreaming the old oak would fall to the lawn
Hoping for a significant change or event, represented by an old oak tree falling
He arches his limbs like the horses
He extends or stretches his body like the horses do
That race through the orchards at autumns' dawn
Similar to the way horses run through orchards during autumn's early hours
Lifting forwards
Moving ahead or progressing
Over fields
Above fields or landscapes
Lightness of being is all that's left
Only a feeling of lightness or weightlessness remains
It's the same for he as she
The experience is similar for both genders
Love remains from the weight of a dream
Love persists despite the weight or gravity of dreams
It's the same for she as he
Similar experience for her as for him
Love changes the course of a history
Love alters the path or trajectory of history
Silence
Absence of sound or noise
Stillness in mass
Complete lack of movement in a large group or collection
Stillness in mass
Repeated stillness or absence of movement in a large group
