Ceremony Lyrics by Shannon McNally

2024

Rolling a long way from the sea
The sky is the color of Grenadine
The horizon cools the nerves like codeine
There’s nothing saying you can trust a heart
It’s a patchwork that’s been ripped and sewn
Memories are just thoughts walking in their sleep
Keep holding on holding out
Things that are left for all of time
High lean country and old story lines
They sit dark against the glow of stars
Like some ancient language own on the rez
Remembered by the old, imagined by the rest
Ceremony returns you to your blood’s country
So keep holding on holding out
Somewhere there’s a lonely mission
Waiting on your entrance
Somewhere there’s a desperate vision
Holding on to the dream of you, dream of you, dream of you
Thoughts are like rivers they flow down stream
Words are like currents they move in between
Songs have a power when they are true and lean
May the great wide open take you into its arms
Swaddle and hold you and keep you from harm
The best bits are missing but they will be known
Keep holding on, holding out
Because it’s a lonely mission
A lonely mission
