lyrics

This Broken Land

Let me rise, let me light this fire
Let me raise the shade
Let me make a pot of coffee
And watch the twilight fade

Here we are, all our stories told
Except the ones we buried deep
Far away from the promise
We promised to keep

This is a hard garden to work in
I bend my back and scrape my hands
But I seldom see one blossom
On this broken land

I look across this weary table
At the lines upon your face
Showing all the weary years
Like faded linen lace

It’s another day without the will
To wonder why
These tears appear
And dry in our eyes

This is a hard garden to work in
I bend my back and scrape my hands
But I seldom see one blossom
On this broken land

The news came suddenly
And took our breath away
Took our gift and left us with
No words to say
Now we slowly drift apart
Day by day

You know I love you baby
You know I always will
But nothing we can do
Can ever fill this space

This emptiness
That we share
So much less than what we hoped for
Still more than we can bear

This is a hard garden to work in
I bend my back and scrape my hands
But I seldom see one blossom
I seldom see one blossom
In this broken land
