Could We Leave This

Wind left home sooner than she’d planned

And we’re left standing still hands

Will all the dust that’s settling down

Still seem so golden when the sun is not around?

We take from time, we take some more

With things so quiet now, it’s harder to be sure

If this was where we’d hoped to land

Was it that wild wind that swept away our plans?

Could we leave this?

Could we leave this?

But here we are, so here we’ll stay

For just a moment, perhaps a day

Perhaps a year will be enough

See, all the moving becomes so tough

Time has come and time has gone

A visit so short, a stay so long

To find the space between the sand

The moments buried in this, our precious land

Could we leave this?

Could we leave this?

With no goodbye and no goodnight

We turn to cold, become the night

We are the dust that settled down

We are the golden deep beneath the ground

Could we leave this?

Could we leave this?
