From the recording Great Big Love
The heat rose off the tarmac as the wheat fields lay down slow
Yielding an empty harvest with their fall
We saw the ice give in from our windows on the wing
Never thought our home would look so small
Chorus: Helpless sky
As our hungers [3rd X: numbers] were unfurled
Beautiful one, in the darkness
You will become another world
90 days and 90 nights, a winter without rain
In a dream, the ocean takes the lawn
Far away an island suffers, far away they flee
Sprinklers hiss a warning in the dawn
Chorus
Bridge: At the point where tragedy meets mystery
On the edge where hope remains in view
Human spirits on the mountainside try
To bring another world
To bring another world, before this one’s through
Chorus
