Sandstone Hum

[Intro]
[Verse]
High on red clay
The gold sun slips away
I lift up your old lace veil
To trace the dusty star trail
The mesh shows a spark
Deep in the dark
I follow the glowing line
Of your sweet design
[Chorus]
Oh, the cold hives are still
On the wind-swept hill
But I feel the hum
Of the spring to come
Under the stone
I am not alone
The starlight is sweet
Beneath my bare feet
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, the valley glow
Where the pale moths go
They spin in the air
Like gold-threaded hair
[Verse]
The frost took the bees
Underneath the cedar trees
They slept in the bitter cold
With honey like gold
Now blooms in the night
Shine with blue light
They grow from the dry red dust
Like iron and rust
[Chorus]
Oh, the cold hives are still
On the wind-swept hill
But I feel the hum
Of the spring to come
Under the stone
I am not alone
The starlight is sweet
Beneath my bare feet
[Bridge]
I hear your soft sigh
In the desert sky
The sandstone vibrates deep
While the canyons sleep
You hum in the ground
Without any sound
[Verse]
I pour out the jar
To the brightest star
The syrup is thick
Like a candle wick
It drips on the clay
To wash pain away
[Chorus]
Oh, the cold hives are still
On the wind-swept hill
But I feel the hum
Of the spring to come
Under the stone
I am not alone
The starlight is sweet
Beneath my bare feet
[Hook]
The desert is wide
With you by my side
We float like the spark
Lost in the dark
[Outro]
