The Swirl - Ginger Trees

The waters grew wide

There’s one land where I long to be

But my heart still hasn’t crossed the line

Where is my armor now

A child disarmed me in my sleep

Feathers for the chosen one

Falling hard to the crystal ground

I am alone in a swirl

Reaching for the other side

I am alone in a swirl

Gone the tissues of my mind

My heart is whispering low

Now only whispering to the wind

Eyes wide open and still blind

Can’t hear the silence — I’m in the cage of time

I am alone in a swirl

Nowhere to be heard

I am a wreckage in a storm

Blown to pieces far off shore

Now I throw myself into the gale

Let the darkness have it’s way

I am alone in a swirl

Oh, the hurricane inside
