[Verse 1] The sky revolved above the plains, A silent kingdom without throne, While generations crossed below Believing they were not alone. [Verse 2] The mountains watched a thousand years, The rivers carried names away, Yet every heart beneath the blue Still asked the questions of the day. [Chorus] Beneath the turning sky We wander and we wonder why, Yet all our words dissolve Into the wheeling blue. [Instrumental: fingerstyle guitar and flute] [Verse 3] An old stone wall leans into grass, Its lichen maps the rain and sun; A path runs down beside the stream, Then vanishes where fields are done. [Verse 4] You place your hand against the earth, I hear the small creek round the bend; The years move on, the hills remain, And every road must meet its end. [Chorus] Beneath the turning sky We wander and we wonder why, Yet all our words dissolve Into the wheeling blue. [Bridge] So let the unanswered questions rest Like fallen leaves beside the stone; The wide earth keeps our passing steps, And gives the silence back its own. [Chorus] Beneath the turning sky We wander and we wonder why, Yet all our words dissolve Into the wheeling blue. [Outro] The sky revolves above the plains, The river carries names away; We walk a little while beneath The patient blue of day.
