about

The first single release from upcoming album "The Lumberjack"

lyrics

The stars have gone bland
because of the street lamps
down in the subway
sits the tunnel man
he only looks ahead
he does not see me
but a little song drips from his barnacle teeth
and touches, touches me
he lived in Memphis as a boy

Out on the roof
deep in the evening
I watch the Heron
still and stately blue
she only looks ahead
she does not see me
but a long call tears from her arrow beak
and reaches, reaches me
I used to sit there as a girl

one of the many lives to take place
on this rock
is a thought I saw flicker on your face
your head and this rock both internally burn
I know you have heavy things to carry
even so your eyes are cool and sweet
in my arms your head is planetary
I am like a cave where you retreat
your words fill my rooms
you're safe but you can't see where you are
I beckon your whisper to my ear
I keep it in a jar
