Warmin' my Wing
03:49
|
|||
They’re out in the yard
Holding him down
They opened his chest
Took something out
Bright white bowl of snow
Washing clean what you won’t
I watch you fill up with sky
And I fill up with glue
A cloud has come
And mopped up the flood
And everything you lost
It’s held in a milky glove
Carried far from home
Over wreckage and rubble
But look at that, the day is whole
And I see Brattleboro
I am warming my wing
I am warming my wing
I am warming my wing
I am warming my wing

Keep your Solitude
04:12
|
|||
I’m not listening
I’m not listening
When I need it I will have
A little weight to hold
Carry tired old me
Down to the river floor
Where I will meet a hand
And it will look something like yours
But older
And more sure
Keep your solitude
Keep your solitude
Rollin out my window
And right into the brook
Hello cold moving water
I am feeling just my size
And I can hear my brother
Crying
Somewhere behind
Keep your solitude
Keep your solitude

Human Rainstick
03:24
|
|||
I was born
In an orange
Nowhere near
Heartbroken
Outer atmosphere
And I have always known
That I am little more
Than a human rain stick
I tip and I tip
Full up to my eyes
With ancient cherry pits
I tip
And I tip
And what are we to do
When the porcupine
Quits playin along?
We want one more song!
And how can you hold your head
With the screaming weight of lead
Following
Faithfully
I was born
In an Orange
Nowhere near
Heartbroken outer atmosphere

Straw Poking Through
02:57
|
|||
I know
The walk is not so hard
The really tough part
Is starting out
And yeah
After all this rain
After all the water
Fillin up my drain
I can still feel the straw
Poking through
I can still feel something in my shoe.
And I could use your help right now
And I could use your help right now
And so
So you know the difference
I will teach you the sound
And you will let me down
And hey
Did you know
You share a name
You share a name
And I can still feel the straw
Poking through
I can still feel the heat
Coming from you

Life as a Marble
03:41
|
|||
In my short life as a marble
I become very aware
Of the edges of things
And the top of the stairs
I get to know your hand
Like I’ve always wanted to
The blood and the palm
And the line running through
And now I’m passed along
And left to hold my feet
I wait and I wait
Patiently
And I’m brought to the bridge
Where a person lost her life
A whole new kind of edge
And another right behind
And down into the water
soon sharing the gleam
ya say it’s like reunion
washed right off the beach
and now I’m passed along
and left to hold my feet
I wait and I wait
Patiently

Last Living Tastebud
05:55
|
|||
Tomorrow morning
Firing squad
And I need my sleep
If I am to dodge
Water carried
So far up
Spillin over
From the cup
And spit right out
Up over town
this is standing in the wreckage
this is standing in the wreckage
And now we’ve burned
Burned the tongue
The very last living
Tastebud
And spit right out
Up over town
this is standing in the wreckage
this is standing in the wreckage
