Opening for Ethan Mitchell at Arthouse Cafe, March 7th. Ticket link in bio.
Sun and rain
I smell the fall again
The must in the leaves
The dust in the wind
I’ll hold your hand
Finding reeds to craft
Smiling as
I watch you tie the ends
Double knot my veins
and hand them to me
I’ll wear them like a silver chain
Help me dear
I’m frayed and feeble
I’m afraid of people
knowing i’m alone
In times likes these
climates squeeze and shift
My home is gone
My heart’s in the wind
So blow on me
Like dandelion seeds
In wildflower meadows
Eventually
I will find a way
Untangling my veins
Like your silver chain

This Saturday I’m playing a sweet little outdoor show at Scott and Theresa’s. There’s a pond I hear. Good folk all welcome. 3-5pm $20. Hope to see some friendly faces showing up :)
Love you!
I wrote this a couple years ago and got around to finishing it (more or less) recently. Playing tunes like this one and others at an outdoor house concert on July 5th—DM for details.
Full Lyrics:
I sit and I watch how the world keeps turning
Plugging along at a pace sure to churn up all the
Unwanted bits on the belly of the beast
It lies on its back waiting for a child’s dream
Like fresh little grapes strung up on a vine
Dew drops collecting, the sun intertwined
This morsel of hope that seems bound die
As the beast on it’s back opens up wide
You don’t have to live like your forebearers did
They can tell you their stories but they can’t tell you how to live
As we long for his untimely demise
The sound of him choking brings tears to our eyes
But alas in our state we jump and we land
On the belly of the beast
He chokes up the dream
Only to snatch it because we were too sweet
So let’s all climb down from our shattered dreams
Its time to attack the mouth of the beast
So the children that follow don’t have to live
In the churned up waters we told them they did
You don’t have to live like we did
I’ll tell you my stories but I won’t tell you how to live
