lyrics

a. We go many places tilting favoured sky
Silence, blushes faded in a little while
How in quiet moments you are juggling smiles
Cigarette smoke beckons; momentum’s swinging care

b. Weary moonbeams splicing disjointed happy thoughts
Your laugh is locked in drawers and vocal chords are drowned
I am standstill, smiling, reeking muted tunes
All our stencils quiver; maps distorted skies

c. Let’s please make no mistakes
You breathe and lift life up in me
A tree, we’ll sit and branch our minds away in whitest streaks of green
Please make me recall a place we’ve once built
And lived in a shoebox cluttered with furniture
And mismatched curtain shades
Park your heart inside with me and place those coupons
Leave the keys and a note away with thee
Don’t forget me please…

d. I’ve forgotten beauty rinsing in the dark
An occasional whisper carves the stars in place
Place us many places scenic or grotesque
Living by the ocean, perfect or misplaced
