lyrics

That’s a nice thought, the music
I record the water in the fountain
Looking out the window of the courtyard
I haven’t been there at night

And yet I love that you were once here
I find your footsteps in the earth
I go out past the city and I shake when I’m ten feet below you

Everything’s alive and the past lives on
I feel your energy when I hit one
Know you’re behind me, I just can’t see you
You’re walking the ridge’s edges
Think I need to read again

You cannot tell me that you didn’t feel more free
Than out there, in the dirt
And you cannot tell me that I can’t live there
And make a home out of memories

Would you tell me soft, when I’m all alone
Put your glasses on, feel at home
I wanna cup the water in my hands
I look at yours, and they’re round and cool

And everything makes sense
The rocks are singing again
The words don’t quite reach the depths
But that’s ok, they couldn’t anyway

You melt the film like looking at a candle
When you face it straight on
I know you’re gone, but you’re not gone
You’re in the sky, you’re in the clouds
You’re in the wind, you’re in the oil
In the barbed wire, in the ravine

Leave me out there

You cannot tell me that you didn’t feel more free
Than out there, in the dirt
And you cannot tell me that I can’t live there
And make a home out of memories
It’s so easy, you and me

Mountains at our backs, facing the world
Roses on the ledge, making tea
