We live in a troubling age

Fallen leaves in an unearthly autumn light
Become the frame and chip my curse away
Above the waves, you still see where we drown
No looking down, oblivion's oblivion

You're not the be and end all
You breathe the city air, you count the carrion
You're not the be and end all
You've got pain, you've got rage
Well, we'll hold the front page
We live in a troubling age

All that breathes is a chorus of peace tonight
I kiss your name and fold your words away
Above the clouds, big sister does her rounds
And sees us both so clear from thirty worlds away

Her to the earth, as I to you, forever
The gentle circling, the endless circling
Her to the earth as I to you forever
And if I hold your gaze
How you take to the stage

We live in a troubling age
But the world has given me arms for you
Stay my bonny girl, stay
I couldn't leave go if I wanted to

All roads lead to your door
Since moonlight honored our first embrace
Stay my bonny girl, stay
Stay my bonny girl, stay
Stay my bonny girl, stay

Stay my bonny girl, stay
Stay my bonny girl, stay
Stay my bonny girl, stay
