We walked out of the woods,
Headed toward Miller’s Pond.
Through my sun-dazzled eyes,
I thought I spied a swan.
But, when I looked again,
I realized it was you,
Sitting there in the sun,
In your new bathing suit.
Now, was it I? Was it I,
Who did sharpen these words?
Was it I, was it I
Wielding these sentence-swords?
And if it wasn’t me,
Where did these things come from?
Etched inside of my mouth,
By my acid-bath tongue.
So, look away! Look away!
Land of Manners and Rules!
I don’t want you to see,
Your son acting so cruel.
I don’t want you to hear,
All these harsh words out loud.
We’re both keenly aware,
I ain’t doing you proud.
But, it’s not like you died,
For some heartbreak untold,
And washed up, pure and clean,
On the side of this lake.
And it’s not like some guy,
Who was walkin’ this road,
Saw your gorgeous remains,
Fell in love, and then took
All your prettiest parts,
To make some violin,
Both sincere and macabre
(though, he did a great job)
Through those heart-breaking means,
Come some heart-wrenching ends.
Through those heart-breaking means,
Come some heart-wrenching ends.
In that hot, driving rain.
In that sweet, dreadful wind.
Such a special album I struggle to think of what to say about it. At times I'm afraid or put off even listening to it and sometimes its the most comforting thing in the world. I got this from a vinyl code and I only listened to that physical copy of it the morning after the night my dog died. The first time I ever lost someone that meant the world to me and it was the first time I didn't cry to it. This album is beautiful and if youre reading this, you are loved memon_dayz
This is one of those nice EP's that i can listen to as I'm trimming the herb plants in the garden. yes, this is a gem. a precious gem we all must protect at all costs. a national treasure that has the ability to resonate through my soul of regret and optimism . dig deevee82
