Lyrics These Things We Gather - Banfi

These Things We Gather

In her town there is a bay
She gets in and floats away
To be herself by herself
As daylight slowly fades
To silvered lemon then ivory grey
Her body aches
Pale feather
These things we gather
Then lose
All for what could be or should’ve been
Here on the earth
For now we will gather
Before we’re apart
You said there’s colour in the dark, oh
Silent steps, creakin' boards
Whispered goodnights through closing doors
But we don’t light candles
And carry them through dark rooms anymore
The silent working world rolls eastward almost palpably
With starlight in a leafless tree
Bringin' out a feeling of eternity at once
These things we gather
Then lose
All for what could be or should’ve been
Here on the earth
For now we will gather
Before we’re apart
Left here to wonder where you are
Colour waits in the dark
