lyrics

If it wasn't for the sands, I'd have left long ago
If it wasn't for the clouds and the rain
If it wasn't for the thousands of cracked leaves in the fall
Their broken skin reminds me of my own

But I tire of the wind, and its elusive grasp
That whispers through the mountains
I have listened

But every stone is worn
In this river bed
No skin beneath the waves
I've nothing left to save

Apple orchard that was my home
Deer-eaten fruit in the grass
And that garden grown on love and loam
You and I could grow in kind
Beyond this garden I have known
You and I could grow in kind
Beyond this garden I have known

If it wasn't for the sun, I'd have fled from this time
But I've held on to something unknown
And if it wasn't for the trees, I'd have left long ago

But every stone is worn
In this river bed
No skin beneath the waves
I've nothing left to save
