No Matter The Weight

(album: The Moon Also Rises - 2023)

I stopped short at the forest's brink
Too dark to see, too scared to think
Stranger in a strange land
Spirit on the blink

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand
We went on together
Two rafts of reed cannot sink
No matter the weight
No matter the weather
No matter the weight
No matter the weather, oh

I heard boats scrape the roots of trees
To shore to feel, too tenderly
Oh we shook off the cloaks of faith
The way led by the river's ease

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand
We went on together
Two rafts of reed cannot sink
No matter the weight
No matter the weather
No matter the weight
No matter the weather, oh

I heard bells ring the death of the time
So casually, sung down the line
Oh my heart stepped like a thief
Along the poetry of grief

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand
We went on together
Two rafts of reed cannot sink
No matter the weight
No matter the weather
No matter the weight
No matter the weather
No matter the weight
No matter the weather
No matter the weight
No matter the weather
NO matter the weight
No matter the weather, oh
