[Verse 1] I found a pale road under the crescent Brown dust turning violet at my feet Three small birds lifted from the hillside Then the quiet folded over me [Pre-Chorus] No signpost, no house, no river Only the bend I couldn’t see I held my coat against the cold air And let the far hill call to me [Chorus] Take me where the orange earth is rising Past the edge of every road I knew If the night has left a door unguarded I will walk that open path to you Take me where the empty sky is turning Let the silence say what words can’t do I was lost beneath a broken horizon Now the whole wide dark is leading through [Verse 2] Teal clouds dragged their ink across the heavens A thin moon rested low and bright Every ridge became a sleeping animal Every breath became a little light [Pre-Chorus] No promise, no map, no answer Just the warmth beneath the stone I heard my name inside the distance And it sounded almost like home [Chorus] Take me where the orange earth is rising Past the edge of every road I knew If the night has left a door unguarded I will walk that open path to you Take me where the empty sky is turning Let the silence say what words can’t do I was lost beneath a broken horizon Now the whole wide dark is leading through [Bridge] Three birds circle, then disappear The moon climbs slowly through the blue I stop asking where this road is going I start believing it is true [Final Chorus] Take me where the orange earth is rising Past the edge of every road I knew If the night has left a door unguarded I will walk that open path to you Take me where the empty sky is turning Let the silence say what words can’t do I was lost beneath a broken horizon Now the whole wide dark is leading through [Outro] The path runs on beneath the crescent And I keep walking into blue
