"Millstatt" lyrics

"Millstatt"

The wind like my mother, she called my name
A whisper heard over the cars the cries and the clamor
The lake like a mirror, it looked back at me
Reflecting no fear, no fault
Finding not one, a single scratch

The mounts like my father, they guarded the ground
A shadow cast over the town, its streets and its people
The trees, they swayed in the wind that spoke
I joined in their dance to the song that echoed off the mountainside

This must be where God comes to rest
Must be where God comes to rest

The calm like my brother it kept by my side
A feelin' that nothin' at all could rid me of meaning
I stood like a child with worry in hand
I threw it into the lake
I felt the weight lift off my back with every bounce across the water
And then it sank
I was a feather, oh

The sun like my sister, so gentle, so bright
I was the day wakin' up, adjustin' to the mornin' light
The fog like a blanket surrounded me whole
The church bells joined in the choir
And we all sang come, oh peace, be nigh
Come, oh peace, be nigh

This must be where God comes to rest
Must be where God comes to rest
Must be where God comes to rest
This must be where God comes to rest
