We stop and let the sky take hold of our breath
As the last of the evening light flees to the west
The stars they soon will start to pace overhead
Like the rush in a sea shell
Or a hum in the maize
Or the mutter of pages turned in haste
The banks of the river Brue lie folded in pleats
Like the lines that the morning left pressed into your cheek
The sun, a fading creature, shivers with your heartbeat
They fly over the stories held in the peat
Telling their own in a million wingbeats
Like the rush in a sea shell
Or a hum in the maize
Or the mutter of pages turned in haste
Above a Leviathan assembles in the sky
It's like watching a thought take hold in someone else's eyes
And I wish I could hear all the thoughts in your mind
Then as everything falters and everything falls
Like the hush before breakers shatter the shore
They fly over the stories held in the peat
Telling their own in a million wingbeats
Like the rush in a sea shell
Or a hum in the maize
Or the mutter of pages turned in haste
