lyrics

29 days ago
I tried to pretend to know where each footstep would fall
But they formed a zigzag pattern switching back forever after
waiting for your call, just waiting for your call.

Crash my party, come what may or sing to me in your own language
writ in ancient runes
Let your people be my tribe
Let us dance beneath the light of these hundred full moons, of these hundred full moons.

Chorus:
I saw you in the forest
In the dark of the afternoon
Gathered grapes and flowers for us
& built a bridge up to the moon

Moonlight on the mirror water
Snowflakes sound like frozen laughter, skaters all gone home
You joined me in the circle dear,
My brothers & my sisters near
And still somehow alone (I knew you'd take me home)

Chorus:
I saw you in the forest
In the dark of the afternoon
Gathered grapes and flowers for us
& built a bridge up to the moon

29 days from now, I'll try to remember how it felt without you near
But I won't be able to, so take my hand and walk on through
The land we hold so dear (The land that led us here)

Chorus:
I saw you in the forest
In the dark of the afternoon
Gathered grapes and flowers for us
& built a bridge up to the moon

I saw you in the forest
In the dark of the afternoon
Gathered grapes and flowers for us
& built a bridge up to the moon
