Take Us Back Lyrics - To Be Still - Alela Diane

The tops of crags and cliffs, the air is thin 

So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill 

Meet me where the snow melt flows 

It is there, my dear, where we will begin again 

Skipping stones, braiding hair 

Last year's antlers mark the trail 

Take us back, oh, take us back 

Oh, take us, take us back, Take us back, oh, take us back, oh, take us, take us back 

I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth 

He knows the fiddles cry is an old sound 

A lonesome of creeks and moans of empty houses 

Are songs like fallen rain 

Windblown buildings, muddy ground 

The strength of water can sink a man 

Take us back, oh, take us back 

Oh, take us, take us back, Take us back, oh, take us back, oh, take us, take us back

When the higher hills have turned blue 

And the waves are lapping where the children grew 

All that we have know will be an echo 

Of days when love was true 

Muted voices just beyond 

The silent surface of what has gone
