What we put before
The love and the rain and the wide open plain
What we choose to take
What will remain on the wide open plain
In a wave of wind
Flood of rain
We are washed grain by grain
From the skies on high
Nothing has changed stars appearing out again
You will not hide inside the shadows
When the day begins again
You won't be watching from you windows
In the wide open plain
Oh they come to me
One by one in the little time remains
I felt the sting of deeds I'd done
By which i'd hoped to gain
The melody of the songs unsung are
Drawn out slow with pain
And swelled beyond horizon lines
On the wide open plain
You will not see me up and running
For there are no heights to gain
And we will surely see it coming in the wide open plain
We stand once more on the golden shores
A still and stony train
The sea of glass the sea that roars
Where all their spoils are drained
We'll now and ever deeply lie anchoring our chains
And divide us endless
Depthless from the wide open plain
I wake up trembling in the morning
To a cold and soundless rain
I know beneath these streets aborning
Is a wide open plain
