LYRICS
-----
Tread light
Tread light the silence is sacred
Though I’ve hated it before

I shook off the dirt but I’m home now
And the light’s still on

With one ear to the door 
I can hear the sound 
The old swing clock in the hall
Has got me thinking about

The bricks that make the building
And the earth that feeds the garden

Moon rise
I’ve laid a trail, you can find me
Where the ivy meets the stone
Bring me a seed you can plant it
And I’ll guard it close

With one ear the ground
Hear this all again
Trim the roses in spring I’ll 
Tell you secrets about

The bricks that make the building
And the earth that feeds the garden
The breath that helps the child sing

There’s new light here to find
Brave it for me now
When October arrives 
Tell them stories about

The bricks that make the building
And the earth that feeds the garden
The breath that helps the child sing
And the weight that makes the clock swing
The blood that birthed the marrow
And the bow that shot the arrow
