tune yards - time of dark lyrics
i know you’re carrying me under a blanket of coal
i feel you carrying me under a blanket of coal
living in the time of dark
and i don’t dare to look very far
young man
she’s just a whisper
step too loud, the sound of the ground
will just eclipse her
i leave all my doubts behind
(see through me)
i’ll give up my sight
i’ll tear it out so i can see the signs
my steps are small
(see through me)
walking blind
spinning to the clouds
hoping i don’t choke on all the truth that they bring
[chorus]
see me over the mountain
i know you’re carrying me under a blanket of coal
see me over the mountain, yeah
i know you’re carrying me under a blanket of coal
if you see me to the darkest time
there’ll never be a mountain that i cannot climb
see me over the mountain
i know you’re carrying me under a blanket of coal
see right through me to the sky
down is up and up is down
a crumble climbing high
i’ve met you twice before
when you put breath in my lungs when my own kin had me gagged
when you taught me to breathe underwater
when i had myself drowned
so don’t cry
it’s nothing
(see through me)
even in silence
there are voices who will sing
(see through me)
but oh little child
understand a single thing
your music’s in your pocket
with the power you can even imagine
it will bring
[chorus]
see me over the mountain
i know you’re carrying me under a blanket of coal
won’t you see me over this mountain
i feel you carrying me under a blanket of coal
if you see me to the darkest time
there’ll never be a mountain i’m not willing to climb
see me over the mountain
i know you’re carrying me under a blanket of coal
hey hey hey, hey-o
(hey hey hey, hey-o…)
see through me
see me over this mountain, yeah
living in the time of dark
and i don’t dare to look very far
