Offering

See the tall boy standing there
Dark and gentle, with his hands
He smiles
And it's not surprising
Everyone wants to sing along
Call the name of a favourite song
I know
This isn't much of an offering
I am quiet and often shy
But I'd observe as he went by
His love for his friends
Giving them all that he had
Anything that we can do
Help to see you through and through
I know
This isn't much of anything
I recall him at a summer show
We made a dance floor
For Tim's band
A dance floor of five
We danced for two songs
Then we sat
Many memories people will share
Doesn't always help
But it can
I know
We'll carry them into the future

Warning
02:37
|

I could live without warning
I could never without desire
For things that shouldn’t exist
Harden
How could I have hardened?
Knowing how sometimes you tried
to blister me with bliss
Now I’m wrapping my heart
like a ribbon around your wrist
But now wherever I go
The stars seep and the moon snows
So if you find me the eulogy should be
“Glad you’re mine again”

Linen In The Sun
03:23
|

Started no different than I dreamed it
The day after the party
Ran into him standing in the street
Wearing linen in the sun
I held a hand in front
A month in, we're lying on the bed
Pulls a hair off his tongue, says
What are you thinking on?
Don't I tell you all the time, man?
I guess you need to know
In the museum, in a new town
I watched him looking on
Walking to the hotel in the rain
Feel his fingers on my arm
Some man thinks we are lost
Sat on a chair, I take the hair dryer
Hold it to my clothes
His phone rings in the hall
I think, what are we taking on now?
I guess I need to know
He's moody
But he's warm

Crooked
03:18
|

Am I working like a clock?
Cause my hands just won’t stop
Trying to touch your face for lines
Running circles chasing time
All that I feel is all that’s forgotten now
All that I know is everything in its power
Was it a long time? I wouldn’t know
Tracing a life back to zero
Will I find anything of the man
Now the fabric changes strand?
All that I see is
all that is rotten now
All that I know is
everything in its power
gone

Walls Were Red
02:20
|
|||
I woke you
to the bells of a bushfire
The windows were blackened
And the walls were red
I lost you
where the flames took your footsteps
the children were crackling
And the walls were red
But who can remember the start of the day
When the burn of the city lost its smell?
Will the end begin yet?
Will it play the same as it’s leaving returning?
I saw two wings whiten the garden
on the cauliflower growing
in the bed that you kept

In The Doorway
02:28
|

In the doorway
I took a guess
And I guessed right
By the summer
You'd have a babe
Yes, I'm shocked too
There's fire in your sign
But I get jealous too
There's spite in some things you say
Some in what you do
In the doorway
I cried
Wet your collar through
Now it's summer
I wonder
What you'd think of the light
It's a game
Made up for two
And I wouldn't play
That one with you
Many months, nearly years
Held between us like secrets
Maybe months, maybe years
Till I see you again

Not For Long
02:12
|
|||
Want nothing wrong
when nothing’s wrong
And all that I have got
is not got for long
Try to get myself drunk
Can’t get drunk enough
Though my cup had runneth
Wasn’t for long
But by the time you get this note
I will have forgot what I wanted to say

Go On
03:07
|
|||
Stars are suns that twinkle and go on
Hunger for the carrion won't go on
Go on
Bones that become stony things go on
Flying, swimming, slithering won't go on
Go on
Go on
