The Sound

it's a certain thing
that i could only ask about
that i could only think to sing
that i could only sing
it's not the words
it's the sound
how we sink our loves deep in the ground and down
life's an uncertain thing
we could only cast about
i felt that web today
i could feel that ache
it's not the words it's the sound
how we plant our love deep in the ground
and down and all around
and when it's the kind of pain
that disobeys distance
seems darkness moves faster than the light
what will you find friend?
you're such a fine a friend
i've seen how the flowers grow in your light
