Aside from the beautiful melodies, riffs and just plain catchy music they come up with, these guys must be in the top ten lyricists in the whole history of music. From talks to angels to this, to descending, thunderstorm, soul singing and dozens (hundreds?) more, the lyrics are just incredible. I don't think I had ever noticed in a song before how fantastic the lyrics were until I first heard talks to angels back in 1990. That line "The cross is from someone she has not met..... well not yet", my jaw just dropped. Amazing. And with this, "two moths that hover close to the light of morning". Simply awe-inspiring songwriting
always manage to touch my heart...I have been a fan since the beginning....the first song I heard when I saw them for the first time...will always love this song
I'll fetch you water from the well If you sweep all the ashes out into the wind As we sit by the candlelight again Two moths that hover close to the light of morning And how you made this cold boy smile From the storm you took me weathered, weary and tired And you showed me the lessons of simple things How love made this cold boy sing Some say that love is the poem of life Some say that love is the pain of being alive Some say there's nothing on the other side Some have traded their souls for just a good time And how you made this cold boy smile From the storm you took me weathered, weary and tired How you showed me the lessons of simple things How love made this cold boy sing When we are in harmony When we are in harmony And how you made this cold boy smile From the storm you took me weathered, weary and tired How you showed me the lessons of simple things How love made this cold How love made this cold How love made this cold boy sing
