lyrics

landslide following the burn site
followed by the wildflowers
tramped on by my feet

coatrack emptied by your shoulders
in search of somewhere colder
where there is still blank space

tied up loose ends to mark the path
from what was left of your summer dress
to what rolled under the red wheel of your heart

watch you dress from bed
thank heaven for me
though this ship's a wreck
we hold onto our breath
and dive inside it

wildflowers sitting on your table
tricked by city water
to standing with no roots

the firelookout i dreamed of spending summers
i found upon a green ridge
with windows boarded shut

i get out of bed
the kettle warns me
now the fog has left
ships tangled in their nets
our lights don't find them
