CANTUS: When the Earth Stands Still by Don Macdonald

Come listen in the silence of the moment
Before rain comes down.
There’s a deep sigh in the quiet of the forest
And the tall tree’s crown.
Now hold me,
Will you take the time to hold me
And embrace the chill?
Or miss me,
Will you take the time to miss me
When the earth stands still?
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
Come listen in the silence of the moment
Before shadows fall.
Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat
As we both dissolve.
Now hold me,
Will you take the time to hold me
And embrace the chill?
Or miss me,
Will you take the time to miss me
When the earth stands still?
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
So stay with me, held in my arms
Like branches of a tree
They’ll shelter you for many years.
