lyrics

We were scrying in the water like a lion in a laughtering line,
Feel them emanating like a pile of seashells in your mind.
It’s four in the morning and the wheels are starting to waltz,
We’ll be underneath the window looking at all the ways we can go and get off.
The depth of the elephant forever go take me away,
And it’ll wait for me here on the way to the edge of a waterfall
Windswept in We. Yeah, we are the lines of mystery

O so golden, and so honest just like a morning wave
Rolling slowly onto a beach somewhere in the Golden Bay.

You were doing something new that new you knew you were doing
That flew you to noon just as the fires be chewing
On the musk of a caribou sent from afar
On a mission to bring back all of our world to its heart.
The T.V. devastate us a beautiful spiel of wah,
It was getting complicated, but we’re listening deep on down in our hearts.
As the good red road hold us out in the stars
O it’s a world in the stars, O we are…

We were drawn to the window on a pen at the end of a line
Just laughing in the shadows with our brothers and sisters, O yea we’re kind.
We know there’s more to the morning than the science of turning
It’s just coming from the cold, to the warm face of the wild that we’re learning.
We’re walking in the city with nowhere we gotta go,
Just walking around in our home. Until we get to the town-belt
And the football of fire, free in the world, to appreciate…

And the middle of the road is no place for a rest
It’s just a good place to be if you are a guest
On the blue crystal ball shining in a way
That sweeps out the shade for the rest of the universe.
It is all independent like a child beaming on a swing
Watch him go get happy as you go and notice him.
He’s filling up fast with the goodness of Home
See his eyes shine wide, see them glow

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
