lyrics

Faded away, bit by bit and day by day
Fell through the cracks, now I’ll never get it back
The maple leaves, let the lake have the oak tree
It doesn’t belong to me

The shifting of sands
Home slipped through my hands
Breaking my heart

All that I’ve known
All I thought I had is gone
Just look what they lost
Now it’s time to pay the cost
Never belonged to us

The shifting of sands
Home slipped through my hands
Breaking my heart
Lake Michigan
Used to be where I thought I’d raise my children and grandchildren
Where I thought I stand with him in sacred union
But now it’s just a place I grieve, know I took for granted
As if there’s some other version on some other planet
But there’s no other one, there’s no other one

The shifting of sands, home slipped through my hands
Breaking my heart, Lake Michigan
Breaking my heart, Lake Michigan
Breaking my heart, Lake Michigan

And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here 9RnK7
