lyrics

We know the sudden summer scorching of the grass
We know the pale flame of fields lit upon by light
The emptiness of things now lost between the things that we have found
We know the space between the ever-changing skies

We know the rush
We know the race
We know the wait

We know the novelty of energy, fast fading
We know our promises to keep ourselves at peace
We know the smell of earth, the secret scent of what we’ve come from
Underneath our nails and in the shining of our teeth

We know the push
We know the pulse
We know the wait

We know fast food
But we know the slow meal
The low swing of candlelight
The dark undressing of wine
Scorpions scuttle between
The rustle of ideas within
The battle of the windowpane against the braying wind

We know the sense of life that churns invisible
Within the rich crush of this old earth’s history
Layers pressed together and blended and now running over
With what it wants to teach to those who have the guts to learn

We know the rush
We know the race
We know the push
We know the pulse
We know the wait and the wait is better

Based on Bert Spinks’ poem of the same name
