Closes out the album with a nice chill strings and piano outtro. It is very meaningful lyrically as it describes the bittersweet nature of aging, childhood memories, and memories lost to time.
lyrics
Softly on the plain
The freely falling rain
Timeless, eternal
As far as I can see
Time passes by
Beneath a weeping sky
Rain starts to pool
Soon it will move
And carry me away
There are many gaps
Numberless faults
So many times I can't recall
And are they ever coming back
Or are they lost
Are they locked somewhere inside
Would that I could stay
Breathe in the sweet familiar air
Sun ever-shining here
I'll follow you down paths new and old
As I dream of all of the days
Gone by
I hear the call
The roaring of the falls
Welcome, inviting
The smell of sweet decay
Up above the sky
The sun will always shine
Enduring, eternal
A constant in my mind
Would that I could stay
Bathe in the warm familiar light
Sun ever-shining here
Euphoria lies heavy in the air
Through the fog of an aging mind
Breathe new life
As I age
The more memories are stirred
And yet they're hard to grasp
Falling and falling
It's like looking at your life
Through a painted glass
And thoughts compress like snow
To form one body
Now
This valley sleeps forever in my soul
Along with those I long to see
One last time
