lyrics

As if it were enough for me to see that glow
From a distance

As if I wouldn't travel through the midnight snow
To feel it for myself
So I ask

Why do I want to hold this so tight?
A fleeting glance

That bellows as it crumbles into dust
Within my grasp

Out from the tops of the trees, and on
Blown to the wind like the leaves, and on

It's true that most of all we do eventually
Comes to nothing

But try to understand that all the waste you've lain
Is beautiful enough

We're crying out to sing deeply of the moss
That covers trees

A coveted love nestled in the dark
For none to see

Out from the tops of the trees, and on
Blown to the wind like the leaves, and on

Out from the tops of the trees, and on
Blown to the wind like the leaves, and on

(Thrown like the April pollen
Into eternity
Blown to the sky in an arc, then
Into eternity)

And when that pinhole of the world recedes at last (into eternity)
We'll mourn the loss of all we could not understand (into eternity)

But smile now, for everything you've ever loved (into eternity)
Is real, was here, and always will have come along (into eternity)
