Recorded and mixed at Ways Home Records, Detroit, Michigan

lyrics

looked for you my dear, but i’m running out of air, six feet deep an i think ill die here
you dove away, now i’m floating here half blind, now i’m drowning in confusion
But those old heartsongs still cleanse away the fleeting unknown sins of yesterday

[ch]
considering the obvious i think that it’s curious
how often we doom ourselves and call it fate
and as it all falls to goodbye will we finally realize
these thieving seasons swing us back toward the sun

oh, i’ve got a blue-bird swears she’ll never learn to sing
its a difficult thing to compel us to leave our comforts and bond for being free
so now i’ve got a bluebird thinks she’s never learned to fly
she’ll break out her wings and we’ll sit in my favorite climbin’ tree

Well i’ve seen a butterfly soar with half its wing
Fragile as glass she perched on my shoulder, ravaged by the years
whispered in my ear some quiet, profound thing
“through pain and loss, bramble an moss, perfect love castes out all fear”

and and it all falls to goodbyes we will reach back and finally trust
the seasons that stole us away may someday swing us back into the sun
we can learn to love this light in life, this light is love
