lyrics

who climbed the willow with me?
kingdom as far as the
naked eye sees
balcony

who ruled the white woods as one?
we got our strength from the sun
the lonely old sun
pendulum

are you going back to the old house?
are you wiping the dust from the blinds?

can you see those kids and the places they hid?
are they laughing the air from their minds?

there’s a moon-faced girl as shy as a bird
please remind her of me if you can.

you’ve got a heart’s tooth and a fountain of youth
and you’ll never come this way again.

two shadows run down the street
two shadows stick to our feet
small and neat
incomplete

who tore the hole in your clothes?
who left your blood on the rose?
thorn exposed
decompose

are you going back to the old house?
are you wearing a crown of black flies?

is the air up there still colder than snow
does the water still freeze in your eyes?

there are vacancies at the hotel of dreams
there are lives that are waiting unlived

you’ve got a heart’s tooth and a fountain of youth
waging war on our dead narratives
