lyrics

i’ll dream of you
if i dream at all
drawing circles in the garden through the fall
in dewy light
enduring time
stretching corners into corners, a quiet smile
well i know loneliness
and i’ve made mistakes
i know the comfort that comes and raptures a certain fate
i found some solace there
a deer lifts his head
but i shot the songbird down and left his song for dead

now i sing his songs
i breathe his air
i stop and wonder were we ever really there?
some captured light
preserving sound
as i get older will you always be around?
cuz i’ve known loneliness
and i’ve made my peace
i let the feathers fall, i washed my knuckles clean
the light lost in building shine
can i fault my fate?
can we remember everything?
no life in salt sustained

But i won’t be alone
i’ve forgotten where i started
a sky full of moths
the scattered view of the untamed garden
now i won’t be alone
it don’t matter where i started
it’s my cross to pull
collecting scattered light
i plant my feet and hold my heart open
