Indigo Girls Everything In Its Own Time song lyrics

remember everything i told you

keep it in your heart like a stone

and when the winds have blown things round and back again

what was once your pain will be your home

all around the table the white haired men have gathered

spilling their sons' blood like table wine

(spilling their sons' blood)

remember everything i told you

everything in its own time

the music whispers you in urgency

hold fast to that languageless connection

a thread of known that was unknown and unseen seen

dangling from inside the fifth direction

(dangling from inside the fifth direction)

boys around the table are mapping out their strategies

kings all of mountains one day dust

a lesson learned a loving god and things in their own time

in nothing more do i trust

we own nothing

nothing is ours

not even love so fierce it burns like baby stars

but this poverty is our greatest gift

(nothing is ours)

the weightlessness of us as things around begin to shift

(the weightlessness as things begin to shift)

remember everything i told you

(remember everything i told you)

keep it in your heart like a stone

(keep it in your heart like a stone)

and when the winds have blown things round and back again

(when the winds have blown things round)

what was once your pain will be your home

everything in its own time

everything in its own time

oh

oh

oh

oh
