lyrics

Taking the incline
Changing horizon line
Micro to macro view
Guess what the land knew
There are no words from you

Shift in the frame of time
Moving slower along the line
The high fields whiter, brighter
Than the pearl sky

Gabble that fills my mind
Recedes along with the time
Signs in the stone they hewed
Lost as your thoughts and your mood
Lost to me and maybe to you

But this quiet is good
Talk can be cheap sometimes
Sound without any signs
Receding along with the time
Moving slower along the line

Shift in the frame of time
Moving slower along the line
The high fields whiter, brighter
Than the pearl sky
