Visitation Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
It's hard letting go, more than I thought
And if the truth be told, I'm a pillar salt
I'm a pillar of salt for ever every time that it took
Another bleeding glance, another long last look

[Chorus]
How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I ask the question even when the why seems hollow
And breathe the silence in that usually follows

[VERSE 2]
I am the cup, mended and washed
I am the true container for all that I've lost
And all that I've lost and gathered again
Is only what hangs in the air when the music ends

[Chorus]
How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday I ask the question even when the why seems hollow
And breathe the silence in that usually follows

[BRIDGE]
And now and then are visitations
To have and hold, for hard but true
How many times I had to ask
The thing that I already knew
[VERSE 3]
He said my horizon is getting closer to me
I need you to look beyond and tell me what you see
Here's what I see, but I need what you know
Out on the curve of the earth is a hope that won't let go

[Chorus]
How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I ask the question even when the why seems hollow
And breathe the silence in that usually follows
