lyrics

I’ll sing an incantation
to call you in the flesh
I’ll whisper words
to will you here
and bind you to my breast

Heart bland and heavy
feet brand new
walking over
under-water paths
that lead me back to you

How MAGIC you are
when you turn on your eyes
I have never been so softly summarized

I believe things happen
as they should
to a grand degree
I said to you
as you peered through
the darkness at me

And I thought
that in the dark
I wouldn’t see your eyes
but they found and shined back at mine in the night

How still and clear the sky looked down
how painfully aware
we were on the ground

WHEN IM FLOATING
AWAY FROM THE EARTH
ON THE MUSE
OR SOMETHING WORSE

I REACH OUT, AND AROUND
FOR SOMETHING TO
HOLD ME DOWN
AND I FILL MY MOUTH
‘TILL IT HURTS

I’ll sing an incantation
to call you in the flesh
I’ll whisper words
to will you here
and bind you to my breast

Heart full and looming
eyes brand new
burning bright
over every sight
that I want to share
with you

How PAINFUL you are when you turn off your eyes
I have never seen such a light so quickly disguised

It’s like we work together but for the circumstances
like how
you control the weather that’s how you curtail
my advances

Raven calls
the sky falls down
flown in from far and wide to sow you in the ground

WHEN TOGETHER WE FLOAT
FROM THE EARTH
ITS ALMOST AS IF NOTHING HAS EVER HURT

WE WERE WATCHED
AND WE WERE SEEN
BY AN OWL AND AN EAGLE
AND NO-ONE IN BETWEEN

I’ll sing an incantation
to call you with my best
I’ll whisper words
to will you here
for refuge and for rest
