about

lyrics

Riches are green
the blackened pipes from the old organ
lie resting on the hill
dormant

we grew up here
though I’d forgotten myself
the landscape has changed
more than our deepest desires

we can be happy in our own skin
happy in our skin
we can be peaceful in our own beds
peaceful in our heads

we are the cows in fields, grazing
our life span is short
and our meat is sweet
we’ve fallen prey to foul play
what was holy is now our loss

we can be happy in our own skin
happy in our skin
we can be peaceful in our own beds
peaceful in our heads
riches are green
all that we need is a heartbeat like you
and what we feed the savage within
will make us chime or make us cold

Is it certain that I love you?
Can I watch you surrender?
Can you hear me?
Can I hear you?
Can you trust me?
Can I trust you?

Is it certain that I love you?
Can I reach you?
Can you sense me?
Can I breathe you in?

Riches are green
kissed by the sun
blessed by the rain
