Curled in closer Tepid water flock of stone When rain is slipping Outside of our window And all the while there's warm, warm wool Drowning half-burned ivory bone Spills onto the pavement Eyes across the narrows stare at me The kind of eyes that sink you into a dream Lilly's in the water She puts up her arms and count to three She starts to drown before she can get to me You're a lost thing

Worse for Wear we're beckoning below Folded weathered papers pressed in palms beneath a glow Distant light above a dying day Sifting softly almost, always, altered, faltered, tethered Offered in a fold Captured claims burn somber somewhere right Upturned hope is wasted, kept for self inside Turn towards belief in something less Tending to the almost, always, altered, faltered, tethered Left for something bright Feel a form alight Collapsing folds in sight Degraded insofar as one can tell Always with a smile A point upon a dial Tiny lights on

about

these songs are musical portraits of dear friends of mine, and musicians who I earnestly admire a great deal. I tried to create a setting wherein my reverie for their voices could be made vivid.
