Wide Open Plain

What we put before

The love and the rain and the wide open plain

What we choose to take

What will remain on the wide open plain

In a wave of wind

Flood of rain

We are washed grain by grain

From the skies on high

Nothing has changed stars appearing out again

You will not hide inside the shadows

When the day begins again

You won't be watching from you windows

In the wide open plain

Oh they come to me

One by one in the little time remains

I felt the sting of deeds I'd done

By which i'd hoped to gain

The melody of the songs unsung are

Drawn out slow with pain

And swelled beyond horizon lines

On the wide open plain

You will not see me up and running

For there are no heights to gain

And we will surely see it coming in the wide open plain

We stand once more on the golden shores

A still and stony train

The sea of glass the sea that roars

Where all their spoils are drained

We'll now and ever deeply lie anchoring our chains

And divide us endless

Depthless from the wide open plain

I wake up trembling in the morning

To a cold and soundless rain

I know beneath these streets aborning

Is a wide open plain
