Arcadia

Lyrics for Arcadia

Morning lights the room A room which has no walls A murmur fills my ears The sound of distant birds I walk into a world Shaped by my own hand Once in inkwell black Now a spring and summer land Hawthorn lights the meadow Bluebells paint the forest On the wing, that flight of birds Is dancing high above This heartwood made new land An Eden yet unfound A sky lit by sun and moon Arcadia in full wild bloom Then the light is fading And the city hum returns Shade and shadow aren't the same Lines once clear are blurred Woodcut gave me hope Now I'm cast out and alone Here beside a fire Where the flames have flickered out And inside, a storm is raging High against the world Steadfast and determined, I will find a way Will make my way back home
