We rest our heads upon the breast of world's unknown.
We stare into the skies, then watch them come alive.
We stare into our eyes, never turn our heads.
My lover lays me down beside the bed so soft.
We watched the feathers rise, and determined where they'll fall.
We stare into the walls and watch them disappear.
Into the ceilings tall, til they're no longer here.
We gaze into the stars, bodies on the ground.
Our minds and hearts [still leave],
Become part of the skies.
Now we can go and live forever.
And if we die today at least we'll know the secret.
Elephant Revival is a folk music group from Nederland, Colorado, formed in 2006. The band consists of Bonnie Paine, Bridget Law, Charlie Rose, Dango Rose, Daniel Rodriguez, and Darren Garvey.
They refer to their style of music as "transcendental folk," because it transcends several musical categories and incorporates elements of Scottish/Celtic fiddle tunes, original folk pieces, traditional ballads, bluegrass, and indie rock.
