The Great Exhale Lyrics

Look at the names carved into the rocks.
Look at the dates when they were lit up.
Brushing my hand and I feel their age.
Years of radiance, years of rain...

And the world stops spinning
when you stop spinning.
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh.

I'm coming home, so leave the light on for me.
I'm drawing over the luminous veil.

When I get in, I will see you all there.
I'm drawing on the great exhale.

Uncertain ground, so I walk lightly,
Translating names of lost families.
Somebody's sleeping that you should not wake.
Drifting whispers over damp clay.

And the world stops spinning
when you stop spinning.
Sighs when you sigh when you sigh.

I'm coming home, so leave the light on for me.
I'm drawing over the luminous veil.

When I get in, I will see you all there.
I'm drawing on the great exhale.

Wide open spaces
Been asleep a long time,
Punctuating places,
Coming out like old teeth...

I'm coming home, so leave the light on for me.
I'm drawing over the luminous veil.

When I get in, I will see you all there.
I'm drawing on the great exhale.

I'm soaring in on the great exhale.
