Look  at the names carved  into rocks
Look  at the days  when they  were lit up
Brush  of my hand  and I  feel their age
Years  of radiance,  years of rain
 And the world  stops spinning when  you stop spinning
Sighs  when you sigh  when you sigh
 I'm coming home  so leave the light  on for me
 I'm drawing  over the luminous veil
When  I get in  I will see  you all there
 I'm drawing  on the great  exhale
Uncertain ground  so I  walk lightly
Translating names  of lost families
Somebodys' sleeping  that  you should not  wake
Drifting  whispers over  damp clay
 And the world  stops spinning when  you stop spinning
Sighs  when you sigh  when you sigh
 I'm coming home  so leave the light  on for me
 I'm drawing  over the luminous veil
When  I get in  I will see  you all there
 I'm drawing  on the great  exhale
Wide open spaces
Been asleep  a  long  time
Punctuating places
Coming  up like old teeth
 I'm coming  home so leave the  light on for  me
 I'm drawing  over the luminous veil
When  I get in I  will see  you all there
 I'm drawing  on the great  exhale
 I'm soaring  in on the great  exhale
