lyrics

How the larkspur begins to grow
before the settled sediment can mend the yesteryear?

How the leaf and petal yet can sing
when wilting go the passers by who linger here?

How could the willow sigh, for me today?
How could you pause nothing at all?

Between my heart and all the grass beyond a garden wall
are better pastures trodden in pursuit of being promised more;
Between the lights are cast the trees I fell - so grow the days
In seeking out a question, I’ve cut the wood to line your grave.
I mapped the path I took here
but never marked my home in haste.

How the blackwood hymnal sets a tone,
so measured by significance to each and every tepid soul?

How the ground might swell with time’s repast,
soon reckoned to its starting form and by the grey stone marked.

How could the willow sigh, for me today?
How could you pause nothing at all?

Between the life I could’ve settled for, and the one chosen
am I caught and drawn, so quartered in decisions old?
Between the plots of unfamiliar forms, so do I walk
to see the bloom in full and question steps I took before.
I mapped the path I travelled by but never found a home at all.

Never, never (rpt)

How could the willow sigh, for me today?
How could you pause nothing at all?
