about

Petrichor, the pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell.

lyrics

In a half-lit wood, a long time ago.
A sorrowful river carried the water's flow.
Everyone listened to the years gone by.
Corrected direction from an all seeing eye.

Collecting the pity, I know.
Runs through your fingers, I know.
Still there in the morning, won't go.

Run faster than travel, let everything go.
The fall of a hard rain on a sun-baked stone.

Run to the ruins, don't go.
Look east for a warning, stay low.
Please save me from falling.

At night I can see you on my way home.
Wake up in the evening; you're on your own.

Expecting nothing, now the wall is gone.
Fear fails communion now the past is wrong.

Collecting the pity, I know.
Runs through your fingers, I know.
Still there in the morning, won't go.

At night I can see you, on my way home.
Wake up in the evening; you're on your own.
I let go of fear, now I'm falling.
I let it go.
Comes to attention, it's morning.
I'll take a blow for you.

At night I can see you, on my way home.
Wake up in the evening; you're on your own.
At night I can see you, on my way home.
Wake up in the evening; you're on your own.
I let go of fear, now I'm falling.
I let it go.
It comes to attention, it's morning.
I'll take a blow for...
