All of our lives, we are pulled between
Who we become and who we have been
And we wear our habits
As long as believers

♪
And, oh, in your picture a willowness
And you as a god in your knowingness
And we are alive
In as much as we're dying
♪
And, oh, never once will I own
That light, that glow
All that you give when you're here
And you'll take when you go
♪
I was a line in a song you loved
But now I have feared that you heard it wrong
For long drives through turning leaves
You've stopped singing
♪
And, oh, never once will I own
That light, that glow
All that you give when you're here
But you'll take when you go
And how many ways
Must a mind be changed and forged
And found and made?
And on the roof
A wooden owl I fear the most
Having silenced us in all the fear
And, oh, never once will I own
That light, that glow
And all that you give when you're here
But you'll take when you go
And, oh, never once will I own
That light, that glow
All that you give when you're here
But you'll take when you go
