Bright Glittering Gifts - Laura Veirs

I have scene after scene, after scene of you

Pouring through me like sand through an hourglass

It’s almost empty, you with the pure heart

You with the peach pie and the earth in your hands

It’s this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful view

Well, the sands are shifting under me now

All the water’s murky and all the smoke is thick

I’m lost in the waves but I know I wanna live

To see your sun fading and darkness flooding from above

I see the coming of the twinkling of the starlight

And Orion wield his sword to breaking night

I know darkness but I feel the back of your hand

I’ll taste the earth and turn my face to the wind

Enter a warm storm with an open heart

And I’ll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark

And I’ll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark

And I’ll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark

And I’ll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark
