lyrics

Hot water turns into coffee, and what I can’t drink I unthinkingly 
pour down a hole. 
And my voice, it was born of the ocean — 
My gills start to die and the dry land it thickens my bones. 

The window is beating with raindrops. The old sugar maple by lamplight 
is starting to sway. 
Oh, the great wind has cut me a canyon — 
And many the gullies where once there was nothing could break. 

         So suddenly down from the sky 
         Falls my eye. 
         Something holds me, lets me sing boldly 
         Oh, for a time.

In the evening, I’m feeling you breathing. The dark of the ceiling with phantoms 
is starting to play. 
Like stories read to a baby — 
It’s most of this music I lose in uncountable ways. 

(Sing me the day when my body was soft as the sea. 
When the thought of a song was the same as its coming to be.) 

         So suddenly down from the sky 
         Falls my eye. 
         Something holds me, lets me sing boldly 
         Oh, for a time.
