When the Earth Stands Still

Come listen in the silence of the moment before rain comes down. There's a deep sigh in the quiet of the forest and the tall tree's crown. Hold me. Will you take the time to hold me and embrace the chill? Miss me. Will you take the time to miss me when the earth stands still? No use running, 'cause the storm's still coming and you've been running for so many years, for so many years. Come listen in the silence of the moment before shadows fall. Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat as we both dissolve. Hold me. Will you take the time to hold me and embrace the chill? Miss me. Will you take the time to miss me when the earth stands still? No use running, 'cause the storm's still coming and you've been running for so many years. So stay with me, held in my arms. Like branches of a tree, they'll shelter you for many years, so many years. Stay with me.
