The Rose Above The Sky Lyrics

Something jewlled slips away
Round the next bend with a splash
Laughing at the hands I hold out
Only air with-in their grasp
All you can do is praise the razor
For the fineness of the slash till
The rose above the sky
Opens
And the light behind the sun
Takes all

Gutless arrogance and rage
Burn apart the best of tries
You carry the weight of inherited sorrow
From your first day till you die
Toward that hill drop where the road
Forever becomes one with the sky till
The rose above the sky
Opens
And the light behind the sun
Takes all

Ozone on the midnight wind
Got me thinking of the sea
And the mercies of the currents that brought
Me to you and you to me
And in the silence at the heart of things
Where all true meanings come to be
I see the rose above the sky
Open
And the light behind the sun
Take all
The rose above the sky
Opens
And the light behind the
Takes all
