about

The third single from 'A Reckoning Bell'

lyrics

The smallest life is fathoms deep
A blossom blown by history’s sweep

Meaning’s made where love commands
The dots you join with time’s two hands

Today’s gonna be a good day
I decided that while I was crying
You can’t keep folding a tragedy
Over and over again

Tin-roof rain dreams coruscate
Off paper cranes of fear we make

But there’s a light we can’t all see
It shines in you and not in me

Today’s gonna be a good day
I decided that while I was crying
You can’t keep folding a tragedy
Over and over again

But no one told me
No one told me

Tonight’s gonna be a better night
Some are born
And some take flight from the earth
There’s no rhyme or right or worth
Just an unsheltered heart
Beating
