• Reservoir - The Gathering Field

My father told me, he told me, "Son,
There was one year in my life, I felt so close to God."
He said, "I lost my way on and off again
Since that time oh but you can be sure.
When my well runs dry I return
To the reservoir."
This life is a river, cruel and then kind
Yes it can cradle or kill you, protect you or leave you to die
I said, the river runs cold and merciless
Headlong past every shore
But in the end it returns by and by to the reservoir
Oh my body's battered
Oh my soul is anything but pure
So I go drawing from the reservoir
Heaven is a perfect blue reflection of the reservoir
It's a perfect blue reflection
More perfect than perfection
We're born into this life our bodies glistening from the reservoir
Our bodies shiny with the water
Each of us heaven's sons and daughters
I said:
Between that moment and the journey's end
We lose the knowledge that we had back then
Innocence like sunlight
Sunlight falling on the field in which we gather
The field that gathers up our hearts
And leads them homeward past the stories of the sycamores
Sense of wonder, over yonder lies the reservoir
My father told me, he told me "Son,
There was one year in my life
I felt so close to God."
He said he felt so close to God
Now he's returning to the reservoir
He's always returning to the reservoir

If it is growing
If it is clawing
And wants to get out
Then let it come out
Your memory's failing
Your eyes are like rocks
And I can see you on the floor of your box
You're got answers
In everyone is electric guitars
And that's all there is
So now you're leaving?
I'm not that impressed
Oh they will comment on the way that I dress
If I could be so cruel to confess:
That if you built the to look just like you
Then here's the irony
No one will know
If it's tomorrow or today that you go

Late last night, I missed my train
I walked back to the car and drove home again
Just outside of Pittsburgh, it's really not that far
Saw a light come shining 'cross the reservoir
The sun in California, it drops right into the sea
I took a couple pictures, they don't mean that much to me
Just outside of Pittsburgh, I saw it from my car
The light shines to the bottom of the reservoir
Starless night, come fall around me
Over all we've left undone
I know a light that shines forever
Howsoever we may run
The moon hung on the hillside in eastern Tennessee
With rows of honeysuckle blooming over me
But the iron hills of Pittsburgh where all my memories are
Gathering the light around the reservoir
Starless night, come fall around me
Over all we've left undone
I know a light that shines forever

My father told me, he told me, "Son,
There was one year in my life, I felt so close to God."
He said, "I lost my way on and off again
Since that time oh but you can be sure.
When my well runs dry I return
To the reservoir."
This life is a river, cruel and then kind
Yes it can cradle or kill you, protect you or leave you to die
I said, the river runs cold and merciless
Headlong past every shore
But in the end it returns by and by to the reservoir
Oh my body's battered
Oh my soul is anything but pure
So I go drawing from the reservoir
Heaven is a perfect blue reflection of the reservoir
It's a perfect blue reflection
More perfect than perfection
We're born into this life our bodies glistening from the reservoir
Our bodies shiny with the water
Each of us heaven's sons and daughters
I said:
Between that moment and the journey's end
We lose the knowledge that we had back then
Innocence like sunlight
Sunlight falling on the field in which we gather
The field that gathers up our hearts
And leads them homeward past the stories of the sycamores
Sense of wonder, over yonder lies the reservoir
My father told me, he told me "Son,
There was one year in my life
I felt so close to God."
He said he felt so close to God
Now he's returning to the reservoir
He's always returning to the reservoir
I guess we're all just returning to the reservoir.
