This Is Where

The wind howls `cross the ice floes<br /> Send the frozen snow skimming<br /> A river on a river hardened over<br /> It doesn`t know the way it`s going<br /> Is it north or south or westward<br /> It just glides across the shoreline `til it`s over<br /> <br /> You came for me in fast forward<br /> On a claim for something ordered<br /> A way through and past the history that held you<br /> I`d tell my own story through you<br /> Tell it loud to never lose you<br /> A moth caught be the flame it could cannot measure<br /> And there we go again, wishing something bolder<br /> Trying to push and pull inside this moment<br /> Trying to mold this life within our hands<br /> <br /> This is where the whole world keeps on turning<br /> This is where we come undone...undone<br /> <br /> Will they measure me by branches<br /> Count the rings and take my ashes<br /> Mark the ground where I fell and carry on<br /> Or will we bite against the silence<br /> Fill our days with noise and violence<br /> Not recognize our hearts when we are done<br /> <br /> There we`ll go again wishing something bolder<br /> Trying to push and pull inside this moment<br /> Trying to mold this life within our hands<br /> <br /> This is where the whole world keeps on turning<br /> This is where we come undone<br /> <br /> We don`t know where it`s going<br /> Is it north or south or westward
