Letra
[Verse 1]
I step over watery edges
He pulls the canoe across the ice
She paddles to the edge to collect candles
For her old ones to melt and then drink
You shoot ducks while it's still easy
[Verse 2]
They gather at the edge, thinking
They gather in the sky, rethinking
They swim towards light, thinking otherwise
[Verse 3]
Sun hits you from above
You melt from the inside out
Faint ice as membrane spreads sound across skin
I step over watery edges
He pulls the canoe across the ice
Aabawe the first warmth of spring
A loosening of one's mind
To forgive
[Verse 4]
They gather at the edge, thinking
They gather in the sky, rethinking
They swim towards light, thinking otherwise
They gather at the edge, thinking
They gather in the sky, rethinking
They swim towards light, thinking otherwise
[Verse 5]
We gathered in the winter lodge
Formed from earth and ice
We slowed, prayed, sang, dreamt
Earth below, world above
Waiting things out, but together
The upper parts are exiled to the bottom
The lower parts deported to the surface
There is euphotic rising and falling
Orbits of dispossession and reattachment
Achieving maximum density, thirty-nine degrees Fahrenheit
You relax at the surface
Spread apart, cooler holding warmer
Regular, repeated, ordered, locked
Lake as one mind
[Verse 6]
And they gather at the edge
Thinking, they gather in the sky
And you're thinking
They swim towards light
Thinking otherwise
They gather at the edge, thinking
They gather in the sky, rethinking
They swim towards light
