Marshall McLean: songs and lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

There's a sound and its growing, there's change on the wind. There are whispers that rise from the silence to see what heaven might send.
I keep leaving and going from this town. I feel like a wheel that keeps spining around, but wheels were made for the turning, and lessons were made for the learning, so I'll keep covering ground but just for awhile, so hurry up, hurry up child.
and they say that you'll keep us awake, yea they say that the silence you'll take, but we don't mind, you could stay for awhile, so hurry up, hurry up child.
and there's light on your mother's skin, as it stretches and grows to make room from within, and she turns and twists with the lights as she smiles and whispers to somthing inside, with my hands pressing tight, waiting for movement that she has described, just to feel you for now, but just for awhile, so hurry up, hurry up child.
and there's laughter outside of these walls, and it reaches my ears and then shoots down the halls and its trying to be something new, but its born and it dies in the hour it grew, there's no telling what will persist, cause everyone's laughing but who really is? I keep standing and falling, I toil, I spin, I'm ready to let you on in.
and I wonder if you'll look like me. As my spirit hovers the face of the deep, cause time is a liquid design, and it drains off the streets, and into our minds and it runs down our shoulders and pools at our feet. O child you'll see what I mean.
Cause few things can change my will, few things can make me sit still, like hands, feet, and soul, rubbed up against me like firery coals where laughter will still be the cure, and the younger it is, the more that its pure, and that's just the thing that I need, to fill up my heart with electricity but you won't hear the sound that it makes, as it quitly floods and runs off the banks. You see my heart if good, but its rough and its wild, so hurry up, hurry up child.
