Landscape

She can't see the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet

Now all of the landscape
It's just an empty place
Acres of longing
Mountains of tenderness

'Cause she's just like the weather
Can't hold her together
Born from dark water
Daughter of the rain and snow
'Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling
In between you and me

She wants the silence but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone and together with you
So she ran to the lighthouse
Hoped that it would help her see
She saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea

'Cause she's just like the weather
Can't hold her together
Born from dark water
Daughter of the rain and snow
'Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling
In between you and me

I wanna give you back the open sky
Give you back the open sea
Open up the ages, darling, for you to see

You put the gun into your mouth to bite
The bullet and spit out
'Cause it's running in the family
All the rituals of you and me

'Cause she's just like the weather
Can't hold her together
Born from dark water
Daughter of the rain and snow
'Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling
In between you and me
