Sword & Seed - Swiftest Things Lyrics

I have a stone
And you have been watching me
Drag it up mountains
And roll it into the sea
And start back again
As many times as I need
I know it doesn't make sense
It's just something about speed

You have a small, tiny thing
That you hold onto tight
You say you found it in bed
In the middle of the night
And I haven't seen it yet
But I know that it's real
Cause darling I've been there before
Or at least somewhere near

Didn't you say
From inside of a dream
That the swiftest things
Are the softest things

I have a stone
And it's armour to me
So I can protect us both
From our enemies
And I call it our bread
But I know that's a lie
Fear is so hard to reason with
Well you know that I've tried

Didn't you say
From inside of a dream
That the swiftest things
Are the softest things

In that dream
Did your bones become strong?
Or did you cry, "Lord
Why does this take so long?"
And did I help you see?
Or did my stone crush your feet?

Didn't he say
(And he looked at me)
"I think you still want
To live gently"
Didn't he say
From up on the tree
That the swiftest things
Are the softest things
