A companion to Sleepwalking and the gap, EVERFLOW is the final in a trio about growing to understand and accept the passage of time.
I know how time can feel like rivers in a storm in winter
And I've learned the irony can keep us safe from going deeper
Than the things we thought we meant when we were speaking
But the hiding us away is what is slowly interfering with the
Gentle unfolding
Of all that is happening
I'm glad that you're asking
'cause I sure don't know
I never thought I'd be this far ahead and finally speaking
While everything I've never said is on the shelf and squеaking
Slowly back to life, put the movemеnts in the meat again
Seeing my own body as a soul until it's me again
The gentle unfolding
Of all that is happening
I'm glad that you're asking
'cause I sure don't know
I've spent my life waiting
A gentle awakening:
I've been here for all this time
I've been here for all this time
The moon
The stars
The atmosphere
From long
Before
I shed a tear
They held
Our bones
In wait for us
And soon
We bloom
All seasonless
We learn
The tune
We learn to dance
And time
Itself
Will hold our hands
