about

Wishing love to a pair of people who have brought a lot of warmth and light into my life.

lyrics

How long would you wait?
Heart like slate, my breath opaque,
Breaking bread in evening flood-
Dye the day, you rest in my blood.
Your lines are salt,
Iron, and kind to a fault,
Why so shy of standing tall?
You're the sunshine painting all my walls

Ch: And if you never ask, you never know
Heart too fast, my mind so slow;
If you never ask, you never know
How to take on time, take in time

Loss is the least
We have to dread from man or beast, orbits cease
Still where you're stood-
Stick your neck out, or you'll lose the chance for good;
My tongue like tar;
'Bending low by glowing bars' is too far
For what we are,
But I still count you hid amid my stars

Ch

M8: Desert sighing in my bed,
Autumn runs soft and red-
Clocks unkind to counting apes.
When they play my final tapes
Through
I hope they'll say, 'I'd be
A home to you
If you needed me
to.'

Your hands in storm-
Birds in flight, and when they hold you, husk and thorn,
Embrace and breathe.
Grow you close in hours as trees through centuries.
Sing in the car,
Bind your blinds in twine, and nail your doors ajar,
Both to the task-
May you move in love until your last.

Ch
