THE WAILIN' JENNYS LYRICS - This Is Where

"This Is Where"



The wind howls 'cross the ice floes

Send the frozen snow skimming

A river on a river hardened over

It doesn't know the way it's going

Is it north or south or westward

It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over



You came for me in fast forward

On a claim for something ordered

A way through and past the history that held you

I'd tell my own story through you

Tell it loud to never lose you

A moth caught be the flame it could cannot measure

And there we go again, wishing something bolder

Trying to push and pull inside this moment

Trying to mold this life within our hands



This is where the whole world keeps on turning

This is where we come undone...undone



Will they measure me by branches

Count the rings and take my ashes

Mark the ground where I fell and carry on

Or will we bite against the silence

Fill our days with noise and violence

Not recognize our hearts when we are done



There we'll go again wishing something bolder

Trying to push and pull inside this moment

Trying to mold this life within our hands



This is where the whole world keeps on turning

This is where we come undone



We don't know where it's going

Is it north or south or westward

It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over
