And they don't know how to rest.

In the hours waking,
when we're still all still,
and you can hear the floorboards creaking,
and you can feel the shades blow in,

our memories, will dissipate,
and our shadows will be swallowed by the sky.

But what would I achieve?

Down the hard road I find
My place in the world; the closest
To home Ill ever feel.

Can I trust it to be
what I've always dreamed...

No dear,
it'll be so much more.
