lyrics

You are something to behold and be held
I have loved you more than I can tell

I can see you bend in the breeze
Feel you in the sun come up in the east
Feel you in my bones my hands and feet
And out of body

Appear as a cloud, a pulse in the ground
The veins of the flowers in the meadow
And in the dry desert where nothing grows

Oh your landscape

How could I be so mothered, so mothered? Oh...

Is this all yours, is this all you?
Where is the home you will bring me back to?

I’m still
lost in a landscape
Walking in shadows
crusted and cracked though
Light leads me back so

You’ve taken the shape of
valleys and hills oh
I can’t go forward
And I can’t keep still


How could I be so mothered, so mothered? Oh...
