Song with no Name

Oh, the pace of my placed and my lifted foot The breath in my lungs, to my lips, my tongue Spoke back to the trees To the ease in my heartbeat Down with the rain Down again and I trod with An ache for the ones who've walked before me And joy for the ones who walk beside me, hmm As I search for the solace the hills might give me Heavy the tread of the dead on the way The path in the rain, in the sun, won't gleam And the ground is made with death and decay And an echo of the ones who've walked before me And joy for the ones who've walked beside me, hmm And the beech is lifting me Ash is reaching me Wind is holding me Time is folding me Under the trees Down through the Lea And on to the path that you came to that day My heart beat quickens My breath it deepens My footfall falters your memory's salt to the wound Of calling your name is bound to the rain I see you in forest dreams Oh, the distance gives the ask its answer I rise up tired but continue my journey There's a light in the window, the first star is here I find just enough peace to make my way home with Sadness for the ones who've walked before me And joy for the ones who walk beside me, hmm
