Every Lover Knows
02:53

Every step returning
is just as sorely made
as those departing,
and the same quickening pace
that every lover knows
that every lover knows
that every lover knows
The truth is
every truth is tested
by the world
until it’s busted, twisted, or frayed,
as every lover knows
as every lover knows
as every lover knows
Love is just a witness to this
century of reckoning and pain.
Eternity is here
and home is far away.
Landowner,
at the hardware store,
will be defeated by the summer
and the days of heavy storm
that every lover knows
that every lover knows
that every lover knows
Love is just a witness to this
century of reckoning and pain.
Eternity is here
and home is far away.

Deep Water
03:25

Early one morning in the cold blue hunger
cold tea on the counter and the rain falling down
The sky is a patchwork of silk and old denim
wrapped in white linen to lay on the ground
So wake me up sailor, we’ll stagger and sway
The things that we’ve known have all passed away
Wake me up gently to the truth of this world
Spinning and whirling our sorrows away
I love the air
I love the deep water
I love the green valley
where laughing and bravely we lay
There’s something inside that’s only grown colder
and bold as spider trapped under glass
A left-handed rhythm like a street corner drummer
one arm swinging wild, one lost at the shoulder
I love the air
I love the deep water
I love the green valley
where laughing and bravely we lay
So beat the drum slowly
play the fife lowly
and meet me by the river
the next time the human race comes crawling
from the water, like a calf, knocked-kneed and wobbling
Wake me up sailor, we’ll stagger and sway
The things that we’ve known have all passed away
Wake me up gently, then let the light in
I’m wrapped in white linen and dressed for the day
