lyrics

Moving upward and outward
I think I need the things I'm moving for
I feel this: a promise
That some amount of sunlight makes me whole
With all those raindrops waiting in my bones

Twirling, unfurling
Like smoke or something living in an old and happy laugh
I feel this: a promise
That I may be a leaf revolving in your cup of tea
That I may become everything before and after me

Looking upward and inward
And every inch of movement tugs my core
I feel this: a promise
That every stretch and struggle makes me more
I figure that's what growing pains are for

Creating, vibrating
Like sweeping strokes of colour in a voice that's moved to song
I feel this: a promise
That you might be the sunlight glowing dappled through my leaves
That I may become everything before and after me

I took a tip from a sea of bluebells by the riverbank
And if I show for a week in springtime it'll be the mud I thank

One long turning, growing motion
That I may be a leaf revolving in your cup of tea
One long turning, growing motion
That you might be the sunlight glowing dappled through my leaves
That I may become everything before and after me

Reaching downward and downward
We're westward, red, and almost gone again
I feel this: a promise
That loving now meant growing with you then
And where I'm going you have always been
