This Is Where Lyrics - 40 Days - Wailin' Jennys

The wind howls 'cross the ice floes 

Send the frozen snow skimming 

A river on a river hardened over 

It doesn't know the way it's going 

Is it north or south or westward 

It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over 

You came for me in fast forward 

On a claim for something ordered 

A way through and past the history that held you 

I'd tell my own story through you 

Tell it loud to never lose you 

A moth caught be the flame it could cannot measure 

And there we go again, wishing something bolder 

Trying to push and pull inside this moment 

Trying to mold this life within our hands

This is where the whole world keeps on turning 

This is where we come undone... undone 

Will they measure me by branches 

Count the rings and take my ashes 

Mark the ground where I fell and carry on 

Or will we bite against the silence 

Fill our days with noise and violence 

Not recognize our hearts when we are done 

There we'll go again wishing something bolder 

Trying to push and pull inside this moment 

Trying to mold this life within our hands
