Standing Still - Tea Leaf Green

The time’s in decline

Standing in line

Highway’s abandoned

My mind is expanding

Heaven and Earth

Are out of communion

Days are numbered

And filled with confusion

Dark powers within

Light powers without

History’s tricks

Won’t fool me now

What’s it gonna take

To get home in one piece

We won’t get there standing still

What’s it gonna take

If all the world is sleeping

A storm in the distance

Gives us resistance

The wind is insistent

We should get gone

Light is declining

The highway’s inviting

The coyote’s crying

And the dog gets a bone

Dark powers within

Light powers without

The sun sees your sin

And the moon hears you out

What’s it gonna take

To get home in one piece

We won’t get there standing still

What’s it gonna take

If all the world is dreaming

A man from the east

Is riding a beast

He sells honeybees

Of honey he speaks

Offers a ride

On the back of his wagon

His wagon’s alive

And it purrs like a dragon

Dark powers within

Light powers without

One sting and you’re dead

Or living without

What’s it gonna take

To get home in one piece

We won’t get there standing still

What’s it gonna take

If all the world is sleeping

I am still standing… still

I am still standing… still

I am still standing… still

I am still standing… still

I am still standing… still

I am still standing… still

Dark power within

Light power without

Your funeral friends

Are bringing me down

Dark power within

Light power without

The sun sees your sin

And the moon is your out

I am still standing still

I am still standing still

Dark power within

Light power without

History’s tricks

Won’t fool me now

Dark power within

Light power without

One sting and you’re dead

Or you’re living without

I am still standing… still

I am still standing… still

Dark power within

Light power without

Your funeral friends

Are bringing me down

Dark power within

Light power without

The sun sees your sin

And the moon is your out

I am still standing still

I am still standing still

I am still standing still

I am still standing still
