silver - west of roan lyrics

Loading...

once upon a lonely night
i saw the flash of silver
like the fishes falling upward
in the blackness of the water
in the blackness of the water

falling lights fill the sky
and i run, and i run, and only tire
oh, the wind in the bare trees

once i was somebody’s daughter
now the light slips through my hands
for daughters only reach, and reach
and braid their beads of string
and wish on things like stars, and fish
and the coins they find in the mouths of beasts

but i long to rest from the water
fishes bright and silver
as my father
taught me to, long ago in my youth
but when i take their bodies they twist
and change under my hands
empty in my belly
and will i ever be
if the fishes change so for me
and if i should rest from this longing
its death foregone for the wandering
oh, the heart has a hunger for
has a hunger for
