Lyrics:
UNDERTOW
Like a fruit tree .. in the mountain air
Though buds may bloom .. no fruit it bares
A warm day’s sun .. a lie it tells
When darkness falls .. a frozen veil
Falls over all .. the lies sun told
Puts to death .. promises sold
Come morning sun .. come take my pain
That flows beneath .. my flowered face
I died tonight .. on mountainside
On frozen hills .. laid down my life
If you think about me pull a blanket high up on your chest
Turn the music up and let the singers lyrics do the rest
Yeah, carry you away to where your soul can tumble free
Cause the undertow will drag you to a place, you cannot breathe
I sit and wait .. on table sawn
For seasons' change .. on gardens' lawn
Death releases .. spring birds song
Calls to life .. idle minions
Fills the earth .. with tapestry
Colors bold .. and harmony
But no hues .. will my eyes see
If there is sound .. it dies with me
And brightest light .. on clearest morn
Draws back into .. the winter storm
Chorus
When the last grain of sand falls through the hourglass
And time surrenders her last breath
I'll gaze into the emptiness .. to catch a glimpse of you
