Hold Your breath and Pray
from Silvio Vinci Hosted by Silvio Vinci
HOLD YOUR BREATH AND PRAY (reworking of instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) We took the seeds, we took the rain, We left the bells to ring. A thousand years inside a grain, And no returning spring. The windows filled with violet fire, The coast slipped out of sight. I watched the last cathedral spire Dissolve into the night. Carry me beyond the blue, Past the reach of yesterday. If there’s nothing left to hold, Hold your breath and pray. The captain never speaks of home, He counts the sleeping lights. I dream of weeds between the stones And dogs that bark at night. Your coat still hangs beside the door, Your cup is where it fell. We’ve crossed a thousand years or more— Some things refuse to sail. Who keeps the heavens turning? Who taught the dark to sing? I thought I heard you laughing Through the wires of this machine. Carry me beyond the blue, Let the old world fall away. Somewhere in the endless cold, Something green will find a way. Hold your breath… We may see rain again.
