lyrics

the smoke and soot,
dust and cobwebs
around
and in the hall,
a cracking painting of a boat
whose sails were torn
in waves that swirled
and snarled with anger at the pride
of sailors who thought they'd
conquered all the world
and its hidden corners
for good

sometimes for love, a chiming bird
who sings a song for no one else
but rather sings for to make known
a fox hid in a darknened wood

thistles/the weeds grown hard
in the garden
their home
are merely pulled
from their bedding
because of the things that we love

sometimes for love, a chiming bird
who sings a song for no one else
but rather sings for to make known
a fox hid in a darknened wood

sometimes for life we pray for rain
to cover up the dusty sins
but flooded fields take all but dirt
and coldly make things right again
