Redshift
Things drifting away are growing, and nothing is lost.
“It isn't leaving, it is growing”
Lyrics
Everything I point it to
Is leaning to the red
The farther out, the deeper hue
And every one of them has fled
They say it is the shade of gone
The color of the ones that flee
But every one is shining on
And every one is racing free
It isn't leaving, it is growing
It isn't loss, it's room to be
Every red is something going
Farther out and still as free
So when the ones I love go red
And drift beyond the edge of sight
It isn't distance, it's the spread
And spreading is a kind of light
It isn't leaving, it is growing
It isn't loss, it's room to be
Every red is something going
Farther out and still as free
Let it stretch, let it run
Let it redden, every one
Nothing's leaving, it's just wide
Nothing's lost, it's just outside
It isn't leaving, it is growing
It isn't loss, it's room to be
Every red is something going
Farther out and still as free
