What Was Made for Weathering
Lyrics
Waltz Until We Break the Seams
The sky is choked with stars that we can’t see
They’ll all burn out eventually
And sometimes the light that hits our eyes
Well it’s long since ceased to shine
The moon she is a map – I’ve traced her lines
And followed breezes through the pines
And I have walked with a trajectory
As sinuous as an old hornbeam
Hopped upon a train to Colorado
The folly of a boy it seems is just to dream
My Ruby, she’s a pearl – look how she shines
She warms me like a barley wine
And when we’re dancing slow and I’m out of time
Her hand is soft in mine
I don’t want to hear a tarantella
Let’s waltz until we break the seams of all our dreams
After I am gone – will those stars still shine?
Once this mortal fabric has untwined
Know sometimes the light that hits our eyes
Has long since ceased to shine
I don’t want to hear a tarantella
Let’s waltz until we break the seams of all our dreams
