Lyrics

Night owns my white bones,
but what's left is still saying
strange prayers in high places,
wild airs with wilder graces:
birds fly with no motion,
what draws me draws the oceans.

Down on my knees again, still believing
in the time of reason, no more;
down on my knees again, still believing
peace of mind is worth any chore.

Great dreams and laid schemes
just blown down by high winds
and strong signs from old forces:
white dogs on trackless courses.
Night changes sweet mountains;
vain hopes need cold fountains.

Down on my knees again, still believing
in the time of reason, no more;
down on my knees again, still believing
peace of mind is worth any chore.
