Harvest Lyrics

HARVEST

Lyrics: Eliza Gilkyson & Andreas Vollenweider
Music, Compose, Arranged & Produced: Andreas Vollenweider
Album: Eolian Minstrel
Track: 7

Looking up through the clouds of my immagination
These doctrines of delusion don't deliver
The children bear the traces
Of a thousand years of fears

Even true love ? true love
Breathles fire onto mirrors
Find me at the gates of wisdom
Questions falling, falling on deaf ears

So I set my ship out on the waters
Trying to reach faith's holy mount
But the dove I send ahead
Returns with just a hungry seed of doubt

This is the harvest if the world
This is the garden of our works

Winding through the alleyways
In the hour of the wolf
Turn me out on the edge of town
In a field of solid earth

I can't resist the impulse
To sow some wild kind of seed
And reap the ripened fruit
Of all I've grown upon the vines of every deed

This is the harvest if the world
This is the garden of our works

Seeds of doubt grows, vines of judgement
Vines of judgement, thorns of blame

Seeds of beauty, fields of wonder
Seeds of anger, blades of shame

Seeds of knowledge, trees of wisdom
Trees od wisdom, fruits of grace

Seeds of tears, vines of forgiveness
Sees of sorrow bring the wild flowers of faith

Seeds of truthfulness
Grow the tangled roots of feeling

Seeds of joy, the vines of laughter
Fruits of laughter finally bring the wine of healing
