The Joy Formidable - The Hurdle

I lost a place that I loved
It disappeared into the woods
where it belonged
That cool spot
On a sun parched ridge
That watery pool
where the animals drunk
Do you hear that sound
The hurdle crashing down
Do you miss that breeze
That’s what our brother
believed
It was the land
The land of milk and honey
That you just watched
Being pummeled like putty
Come back to haunt
All things are two
Come back to test
As long as it’s new
I’m tired of talk
I’m tired of news
Hear the herd
Herd the herd
Sleep on whatever you do
Do you hear that sound
The hurdle crashing down
Do you miss that breeze
That’s where our mother
lived
Would you tell her now
The worth of tiny things
The gather round
Untie and end that’s sealed
That’s sealed
In this vast space it’s
always sealed
We won’t see
All the debris
we’re certain to leave
Do you hear that sound
Do you hear that sound
Do you hear that sound
Do you hear that sound
The hurdle crashing down
Do you miss that breeze
That’s why our mother
believed
Believed
Would you tell her now
Would you tell her now
What would she say
The works of tiny things
Sell the stars two by two
Just like sheep with
a sail behind you
On and on
on and on
on and on
when will it stop
