All Thieves, "Turn and Turn Again"

 

 

Lyrics:

Worn from walking this far
So worn from talking this much
And what we found and what we've seen
As the road curves down
And the lights come up to meet us
Silent for the evening
We enter this town like new born creatures
Those I know I see anew
And the space between us is reduced
For I am human
And you are human, too

So turn and turn again
We are calling in all the ships
Every traveller please come home
And tell us all that you have seen
Break every lock to every door
Return every gun to every draw
So we can turn, and turn again

Only priests and pounds can save us now
Only a sign from God
Or a hurricane can bring about
The change we all want
And we've done it again
This trick we have
Of turning love to pain
And peace to war
We're just ash in a jar

So turn and turn again
We are calling in all the ships
Every traveller please come home
And tell us all that you have seen
Break every lock to every door
Return every gun to every draw
So we can turn, and turn again

(instrument)

So turn and turn again
We are calling in all the ships
Every traveller please come home
And tell us all that you have seen

Break every lock to every door
Return every gun to every draw
So we can turn, and turn again

 

I thank Kasha for this. She follows "Grey's Anatomy", and makes me listen to tracks she loves from the show. I do the same to her with "Vampire Diaries" and "Stargate: Universe". All these shows have amazing soundtracks, by the way.

Not only is this song hauntingly beautiful, its lyrics are poignant; both components give the song resonance. To me, "Turn and Turn Again" is about forgiveness, how it bridges estranged loved ones. My family has recently been shaken by a catastrophic turn of event. Even though physically no one was hurt, the emotional turmoil is just as painful. Maybe one day I'll learn to forgive, and talk about it, but for the moment, I'm doing my best to surface good memories.

It's a start.

For I am human, and you are human, too.
