lyrics
When my mother retreated
And the rain was my cavern
I grew tired of seeking
My belief that i need her
And confusion set in
As the love turned to loss
No more reason to fear me
No more comfort was sought
Give back this heart and this hand that you’re holding
Nothing gained, nothing lost in the wake
I know you’re reeling from something
But there's no need to ever fear what you take
Now the days turn to winter
I retreat on my own
No such green to remember
No more love like a stone
These perils have shaken
Revealing what's true
My belief in the making
I never saw it in you
Give back this heart and this hand that you’re holding
Nothing gained, nothing lost in the wake
I know you’re reeling from something
But there's no need to ever fear what you take
And the rain was my cavern
I grew tired of seeking
My belief that i need her
And confusion set in
As the love turned to loss
No more reason to fear me
No more comfort was sought
Give back this heart and this hand that you’re holding
Nothing gained, nothing lost in the wake
I know you’re reeling from something
But there's no need to ever fear what you take
Now the days turn to winter
I retreat on my own
No such green to remember
No more love like a stone
These perils have shaken
Revealing what's true
My belief in the making
I never saw it in you
Give back this heart and this hand that you’re holding
Nothing gained, nothing lost in the wake
I know you’re reeling from something
But there's no need to ever fear what you take
