lyrics

Leaves falling flutter froth-white fletches of gold
And I curl my toes in the stuttering cold
The creamy clouds cock up and unfold
And this alone could be all that I told
Myself my heart would never inhale
A bicycle ride on the back of a whale
I gave my flute to a well-mannered snail
I turned my spine to a white linen
Sail away on the broken white field
Take these leaves for a crown
And hold me
And we’ll never grow old and we’ll never come down
And we’ll never grow old
And we’ll never come down
And the tendrils of grass filigrees that curl ‘round our feet
As we fall in the meadow like shadows of heat
And your eyes that fall open like folded white sheets
The impermanent drops of that blue
If you knew about all of the friends that I love with regret
And make their smiles my water and bread
And watch them through the walls of my head
I hold the candle and glass
If you knew that I know how you wash out your sorrow with soap
And I hear every word that sticks in your throat
And that each night I go out alone in the boat
You would not hesitate to unbutton your coat
And sail away on the broken white pond
Hold your breath on the way down
We’ll be here till the fire is dead and the leaves are all down
And the foxes are gone
And the leaves are all down
