Carrie Newcomer - Where the Light Comes Down lyrics

Artist: Carrie Newcomer

album: The Beautiful Not Yet


It took dog days and years
To catch a moment when it's here
And that hay bales just might
Be mostly made of light
And that leaves can fall like shining golden coins
I can feel it in the hollow spaces
In the quiet places
Where the light comes down
I can see it in strangers' faces
In the lines and traces
On the winter ground
Where the light comes down
It took a while before I saw
That the world is mostly made of ache and awe
And that some nights hum with sound
And sometimes silence is a noun
And that dust and snow can swirl like falling scarves
I can feel it in the hollow spaces
In the quiet places
Where the light comes down
I can see it in strangers faces
In the lines and traces
On the winter ground
Where the light comes down
Ashes fall and waters rise
Seasons change before our eyes
It took time to finally know
That a luna moth will quickly come and go
And that distraction is a thief
Of all that is shining and brief
Gone with a brilliant startle of wings
I can feel it in the hollow spaces
In the quiet places
Where the light comes down
I can see it in strangers' faces
In the lines and traces
On the winter ground
Where the light comes down
