Wind left home sooner than she’d planned
And we’re left standing still hands
Will all the dust that’s settling down
Still seems so golden when the sun’s not around

We take from time we take some more
With things so quiet now it’s harder to be sure
If this was where we’d hoped to land
Was it that wild wind that swept away our plans

Could we leave this
Could we leave this

But here we are so here we’ll stay
For just a moment perhaps a day
Perhaps a year will be enough
See all the moving becomes so tough

And time has come and time has gone
A visit so short a stay so long
To find the space between the sand
The moments buried in this our precious land

Could we leave this
Could we leave this

With no goodbye and no goodnight
We turn to cold become the night
We are the dust that settled down
We are the golden deep beneath the ground

Could we leave this
Could we leave this
