"Mountain Laurel" lyrics

I peeled the shirt from your back
Had a look at your scars
They healed over so well
You forget where they are
But they radiate like stars

When the cataract falls
From the darkening air
And the bones of the earth
Have all been laid bare
Then heaven is right there

And in the mountain laurel
Yes, I loved you, oh
And yes, I watched the blossoms fall

We will stand in the waves
While the colors all run
And our minds fill with light
Until we start to go numb

And then we'll let it come
