The Reckoner

The Reckoner

So your mother showed you the window

The path she tried when she was born

She returned for the winter roses

But she never called

And she never really came home

I'll be your reckoner

I'll be your saviour

I'll be your comforter

I'll be your deranger

So your father told you to

Lay low, lie hard, play rough, fight fast

And there's a power in the playing of the people

I'll be your reckoner

I'll be your saviour

I'll be your comforter

I'll be your deranger

And those, came before us

Will they ever let go

And those, falling for us

Will they come here,

With their echoes

And the road behind

For peace to find a moment that can be given

To take a rose and throw it into the sea

For the sea can take our dreams and why we're living

Put the rollings all at ease

For the roses fall from heaven

The rose is all we need

To fall asleep

I'll be your reckoner

I'll be your saviour

I'll be you comforter

I'll be your deranger
