Lyrics

No Matter the Weight

I stopped short of the forest's brink
Too dark to see, too scared to think
Stranger in a strange land
Spirit on the blink

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand
We went on together
Two rafts of reed cannot sink
No matter the weight, no matter the weather
No matter the weight, no matter the weather, oh

I heard boats scrape the roots of trees
Too shore to feel, too tenderly
Oh, we shook off the cloaks of faith
The way led by the rivers ease

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand
We went on together
Two rafts of reed cannot sink
No matter the weight, no matter the weather
No matter the weight, no matter the weather, oh

I heard bells ring the death of time
So casually, sung down the line
Oh, my heart stepped like a thief
Along, the poetry of grief

Then gentle, gentle as ever
You put out your hand
We went on together
Two rafts of reed cannot sink
No matter the weight, no matter the weather
No matter the weight, no matter the weather
No matter the weight, no matter the weather
No matter the weight, no matter the weather
No! Matter the weight, no matter the weather, oh
