lyrics

In time you'll come to find
The apple of your eye has lost its glow
As seeds, we cut our teeth
We rest, we feed, and soon begin to grow

I see your youth like leaves
The brown from green
The season casts a spell
Until we make like trees
Uproot and leave to rot out where we fell

And the branches that you held
Like withered hands, letting go
And if you've been there, then you know
You've spent all your time just counting grains of sand

In time you'll come to find
The threading needle's eye has grown too small
Collecting teeth in dreams, a broken reed
A hollow, haunted house

Your youth moves with the breeze
The change in sea, the tide will sort it out
Until we make like trees
Uproot and leave to rot out where we fell

And the branches that you held
Like withered hands, letting go
And if you've been there, then you know
You've spent all your time

Faith takes a toll
And the time, oh the time it takes to grow
So little time to go

And oh, when you sleep
Are you wondering? Is it helping you to dream?
It's keeping me awake.
