lyrics

It’s nothing you could ever outgrow
Once you’re old enough to know
And so bored
No matter how clear you see
From this high hill
Where everything is still
Under the sword

I had to go lie down for a while
On the Shenandoah granite
The slow cure for our grief
Shaping, laying waste
It gives my mind a little peace
Well that’s where I’m standing now
And from where I’m standing
I don’t want to see
The family beaten by time and needs
Sacrificed

I’m old enough to know how
Every year moves the ground
Silently
Beneath our feet
Driving down to the lights
Through town to the highway pines
I’m headed home
To be shown that the drift has grown
That it’s our labor now
On which we depend
Even if we’re just turning
Into the bedrock in the end
With the consolation that you remain my one
True friend

Now we’ve been scared
And bored at the same time
For the civilized
It’s hard to feel otherwise
It’s important to be kind
Worry is a waste of time
Because you won’t be able
To avoid living through
The children somehow
When the world is reduced once again
To the ancient sound
To the rhythms of the house

When you’re old enough to know how
Every year moves the ground
Silently
Beneath our feet
Driving down to the lights
Through town to the highway pines
Headed home
To be shown that the drift has grown
That it’s our labor now
On which we depend
Even if we’re just turning
Into the bedrock in the end
And you and I can find
No words of consolation
Left to lend
