CANTUS: When the Earth Stands Still by Don Macdonald

"When the Earth Stands Still" by Don Macdonald recorded in 2018. TEXT Come listen in the silence of the moment Before rain comes down. There’s a deep sigh in the quiet of the forest And the tall tree’s crown. Now hold me, Will you take the time to hold me And embrace the chill? Or miss me, Will you take the time to miss me When the earth stands still? Cause there’s no use running cause the storm’s still coming and you’ve been running for too many years. Come listen in the silence of the moment Before shadows fall. Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat As we both dissolve. Now hold me, Will you take the time to hold me And embrace the chill? Or miss me, Will you take the time to miss me When the earth stands still? Cause there’s no use running cause the storm’s still coming and you’ve been running for too many years. So stay with me, held in my arms Like branches of a tree They’ll shelter you for many years. ---- Video by Flight Creative Media "When the Earth Stands Still."
