Promise

And meet me there, bundles of flowers, 

We wait through the hours of cold 

Winter shall howl at the walls, 

Tearing down doors of time. 

Shelter as we go... 

And promise me this: 

You’ll wait for me only, 

Scared of the lonely arms. 

Surface, far below these words 

 And maybe, just maybe I’ll come home 

Who am I, darling to you? 

Who am I? 

Gonna tell you stories of mine 

Who am I?

Who am I, darling for you? 

Who am I? 

Gonna be a burden in time, lonely 

Who am I, to you?

 Who am I, darling for you?

Who am I? 

Going to be a burden

 Who am I, darling to you?

 Who am I?

I come alone here

 I come alone here

Blue Does

Speak until the dust
settles in the same specific place
Light refused to go
Drink it from a cast and iron plate
instead of cold milk
was offered unripe
Instead of silence
considered craven
 

Nothing made it seem
hidden where the aging soil was pure
Pressed against the crease
Mountains become fragrant at the source
how can you stand this
exotic angle
I read it somewhere
that they would lie still
 

I remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
 

Unrelied I was called
missing teeth out of favour
Nickel beach it was all
gathering by the sundial
 

I woke hard
I woke heavy
for the half way stop
Five whole hours in
when I woke hard
I woke heavy with the live or parts
 

I remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
 

I remember my first love

If I had a Boat

Golden, golden, golden river run
To the East then drop beneath the sun
And as the moon lies low and overhead
We're lost

Burn slow, burning up the back wall
Long roads, where the city meets the sky
Most days, most days stay the sole same
Please stay, for this fear it will not die

If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed North, hoping for the shore

Down low, down amongst the thorn rows
Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine
Birds play, try to find their own way
Soft clay, on your feet and under mine

If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed North, hoping for the shore

Splitting at the seams
Heaving at the brace
Sheets all billowing
Breaking of the day
Sea is not my friend
And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip beneath the tide

Once I had a dream
Once I had a hope
That was yesterday
Not so long ago
This is not the end
This is just the world
Such a foolish thing
Such an honest girl

If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed North, hoping for the shore
