Hold on til the evening
Reaching out for something
She reads the words alone
Telling our whole story
Stripped of all its glory
Speaking the unknown
The blood of fathers, mothers, sons,
Enlivens us like rivers running freely
A daughter's hand the anchor
For a ship that sometimes disappears completely
She's a diamond in a silver mine
A light by which to find
Another morning
Lead me away by hand, by heart
From days that fall apart
Without warning
Try to slow the turning wheels
That push your mind and drag your heels
Let the weather change your ways
Growing younger when we're older
Singing ballads ever louder
In these silent, restless days
Daughter, take my heart in hand
And bury it out just beyond the water
Where fools will crown themselves as kings
And love in all its rage will give no quarter
My diamond in a silver mine
When darkness closes in
I hear her calling
Lead me away by hand, by heart
From hope that comes apart
When I am falling
Yes I am falling
