Lyrics
Verse 1
Easing into bravery
Creeping into courage
too late to be careful
too soon to be sure
Accidentally becoming
What you accidentally say
Shaping mountains of the mind
With the pieces of the day
Verse 2
The gauze of misty mountains
The sigh of restless seas
Above the Rivers whispers
Twilight roosting in the trees
The presence of her absence
the last lit room before the dark
A still point, in a swirling world
The absence of her spark
Chorus 1
Playing in the ruins
With an off leash mind
At a certain mental distance
Far ahead and far behind
Verse 3
Pretending to listen
Befriending your fears
The need for imperfection
Becomes imperfectly clear
Knowing what to overlook
In what you accidentally say
Adjacent to the truth
In the pieces of the day
Chorus 2
snatching fistfuls of air
the elusive skill of what to say
The Magic of completion
Of The pieces of the day
Verse 4
The gauze of misty mountains
The sigh of restless seas
Above the Rivers whispers
Twilight roosting in the trees
Accidentally becoming
What you accidentally say
Shaping mountains of the mind
With the pieces of the day
pieces of the day
pieces of the day
Glenn Mitchell
