Lyrics

Kneeling in the meadow.
The shepherd sings a silent prayer,
keep the wolves at bay 'til,
morning comes to call you.
Daylight wakes the tired eye.
Thoughts have opened hopes will.

  Silent stones stand waiting,
  for the covenants of man.
  But in vain, wanting, never learning,
  I don't know why,
  Silent stones cry.

The mist upon the waters,
foretells of the coming calm.
Watching watchmen watching.
'til the call is answered,
stretch your arms across the sky,
touch the morning sunlight.

  Silent stones stand waiting,
  for the truth to come to light.
  But for some, having, never holding.
  I don't know why,
  Silent stones cry.

In my thoughts there's fires,
waning on the edge of night.
We're just passing through time,
With the fall of winter,
comes the long dark journey's end.
Flames fade into darkness.

  Silent stones stand waiting,
  not for some but everyone.
  And in the end it's never knowing.
  Weep not for thine.
  Silent stones cry.
