Dark, Dark My Light - The Ascent Of Everest

Long before the eye can see

There’s a path that runs into the deep long

Long before your lips move to speak

There’s a look you give when you look at me

Follow the daughter

She’s a widow to desire

You cannot sleep your way out of this one

You cannot dream your way out of here

You know

You know

You already know

Long before the sparrow falls

There’s a wind that knows and lifts them all

Long before your lips move to speak

There’s a look you give when you look at me

Long before your lips move to speak there’s a sign

A light that moves behind your eyes

Long before your lips move to speak

Who can see the signs and tell the future’s course

The rise and fall

Who can see the signs and try to hold up the mountain or hold back the tide
