It’s a comfort and curse
It’s a crook of the mind
That the better I’m known
The worse I’m behind
There were kids in the break
And there were ghosts on the shore
There was nothing we knew
There was me at the door
And then there was you
Come to the well
That springs from the land
We’ll offer our faces
And offer our hands
Soaked on the cliff
We’ll turn our backs to the shore
And I’ll know you again
But like never before
And then there was you
Come away from the light
It plays tricks on the mind
The path is narrow and steep
There’s only one to know
There’s only one to go
And that’s down in the canyon beneath
So come to yourself
As a stranger this time
Feel for the knots
You’ve meant to untie
Carve up the wood
From your juniper tree
Lay out the kindling
And burn it all up for me
And then there was you
Come away from the light
It plays tricks on the mind
The path is narrow and steep
There’s only one to know
There’s only one to go
And that’s down in the canyon beneath
