about

First single from new album Breaking Light

lyrics

Dark was the night and
Dark was the land and
Dark was your heart but I
Didn't quite know it yet.

The fire was out by then
But it had left its mark
On that charred and empty land,
Your scarred but gentle hands.

Charred and empty of
Good green beauty
At least to the naked eye
At least to the naked eye.

But I saw, I swear,
I saw, I swear,
Some green shoots there,

And I was willing to wait around
I was willing to wait around
For a slow burning blossoming
For a slow burning blossoming -

But the rain came, the clouds came
The storm came, the lightning came
And a clap of thunder frightened me
And the lightning scorched that
One green thing I'd seen.

I'd been willing to wait around
For a slow burning blossoming
Yeah I'd been willing to wait around
For a slow burning blossoming

But we called time.
