From the recording Threshold
Some losses don't simply leave us empty. They clear away what was never ours to keep. This song is an invitation to trust that kind of wind.
Lyrics
Threshold
The wind blows hard November
And asks for nothing more
It takes the leaves and
Leaves the trees
As barren as before
The wind of love showed up and
you could not turn away
It took your heart and
Blew it down
And didn’t ask to stay
How can you turn your face away
From wind that blows so strong
And strips from you all the masks
You’ve worn for far too long
How can you not return to love
When another storm blows through
And shows you truth that’s always lived
In the storms inside of you
November days are short and cold
The sky turns silver gray
If blue shows up at all
it doesn’t ask
If it can stay
A new moon offers hope and strength
For what you have to do
Its shadows pull
You close again to
What you always knew
How can you turn your face away
From wind that blows so strong
And strips from you all the masks
You’ve worn for far too long
How can you not return to love
When another storm blows through
And shows you truth that’s always lived
In the storms inside of you
It takes the leaves and
Leaves the trees
As barren as before
You can’t pretend to
Favor masks
You hide in an old drawer
Hard November blows
Out dust
Clearing woods and ground
Crossing the threshold
Wisdom guides
Light in darkness found
How can you not return to love
When another storm blows through
And shows you truth that’s always lived
In the storms inside of you
How can you turn your face away
From wind that blows so strong
And strips from you all the masks
You’ve worn for far too long
You’ve worn for far too long
