The Point Of Arrival

Letra de The Brink Of Everything
Last night I heard a wood thrush calling,
In the evening like they sing
I saw you standing by the water
Out on the brink of everything
Out on the brink of everything.
Yeah, all the things that used to matter
No, they don’t need so much today,
Toss the seeds and let them scatter,
The birds and wind take them away
Til there is nothing in my way.
And this is has been too much and little
The ache of it bewildering.
But for now we'll stand together,
Here on the brink of everything,
Here on the brink of everything
I can’t see past this horizon,
I can’t say what's waiting there.
I never sang ‘cause I knew something,
I sang because it was a prayer,
The finest one that I could bare.
And this is has been too much and little
The ache of it bewildering.
But for now we'll stand together,
Here on the brink of everything,
Here on the brink of everything
This body has been many things
It’s been rain and snow and earth and dust
I’ve worked and worried, searched and hurried
But now its all forgiveness,
Now its just forgiveness.
I'll walk with you far as I can,
And all we love is all we'll take,
I’ll send a postcard when I get there,
Just to say I got there safe,
Just to say I got there safe.
And I won't need no choir of angels,
Just that old song we used to sing.
But for now we’ll stand in wonder,
Here on the Brink of Everything,
Here on the Brink of Everything
