Quiet Eyes

Moving statues in the park

Mosaic faces fading in the rain

Recalling memories of loss

Yet untouched and unscathed

Is this really a mystery life

Where we only learn from our own mistakes?

Misstep, fall down stairs

Maybe you're too wise for me

Your quiet eyes break my heart now

You're calling out, you're calling out despite it

A long car drive, music in air

Comes from a place out of nowhere

Staring at stars or a lightning bug

On a faraway stair, on a torchlit night

The field of depth on those marble steps

We'll meet again in light

That's how it's done, that's how it's done

And how it's undone

That's how it starts, that's how it starts

And how it's unknown

Fall, fall

Calling out in spite of it all

Fall, fall

Will we meet again in the light?
