lyrics

i didn’t want to burn like this, so close to the bone
no muscle left to carry it, this black bag of stones
the august heat, the autumn rain, and winter’s face of blue
these seasons keep their spinning up but there’s no sign of you
there is no sign

richard says the whippoorwill taught him how to go
i tell him death is just a dream, but what do i know?
it’s everything and nothing when the spirit cracks the sky
but flowers fold and go to seed and no one questions why

and so i walk this verdant mile of memory with you
the gentle arms of eden and the mountain get me through

i miss you like i love the sound of those blackbirds in the trees
i sit alone and wish that maybe one of you would come visit me
but no matter how much seed i hang or what prayer i call out
i cannot bring that bird in from the field or make an angel come around

and so i walk ...

-- portland oregon / missoula montana
