The Shape Truth Takes Songtext
von Witch Mountain

I don′t hear you speak anymore
You're fading away
Today I was a weightless gust
Of easy southern air
I don′t feel your heat anymore
You never could stay
I dropped the awkward chains
Of earthly promises

I drifted and my emptiness
Was gracefully aware
That all that mattered of myself
Was there


I thought that I knew who you were
But how could I know
Today I was a lonely rusted wreck
Beside the road
You are always searching for
Things you carry with you
And every life that passed by
Might be deeper

I waited for the rain to come
And wash me clean and whole
Or for the loving hand
To take me home

Each day I wait for some new shape
To take me till I know
What is the shape that truth will take
When will it show
Rain now brings the snow
The sweet warm harvest glow

When you started dreaming
I thought it would be fleeting
Was it a naive thing
Thinking we would always be
You've lost your face now
You take up no space now
You've turned around
Shut down without a goodbye
Without making a sound


I come and go and never know
When I will find my way
But I will trust in my impulse
To lead me day by day

Each day I wait for some new shape
To take me till I am
The honesty I long to be
But I become
