find me maple
build my yawl,
northern fable,
boreal
find me tallow
burn my shawl
they will follow,
boreal

Hollow

follow me
into the hollow
i've found
somethin better
saw them
on my way to walden
wanderin through
the heather
follow the
nesting of the swallow
arrested for
the weather
saw them
in the fog departin
forts of straw
and feather
follow me
into the hollow
i am somethin
better
saw them
rollin logs from walden
severed from
their tether
follow we
the ones who wallow
in fancies of
the yester
saw them
in the garden stalkin
never knowin,
never
follow me
follow me
follow me
follow me

The Harbor

take another step
i could know you
take another breath
i will hold you
i could own you
i will own you
take unto the depths
i will go through
take the wood i left
it will show you
i once told you
i was cold too

The Westering
04:56
|

loose my moorings
the long night's shorin
for winter
through the pourin
my folly's forgings
have withered
down
from the pasture
the woodlings will gather,
out hither
the owl:
our pastor,
the pines all round her:
the scripture
thank god all she lost was rotten
ma fell in her wits besotten
traded all her dresses in for pennies
loot my quarries
for stones theyve told me
are precious
tell me stories
of hoary ghosties
all restless
down
through the rapture
the something i'm after
is estrous
the bear
the badger
will sleep in rafters
above us
thank god all you want is wanton
in our hidin' place forgotten
I'll keep throwing sorrows down your shoulders
thank them both me and my brother
runnin from the well midsummer
tumbled down; the hills drank all our water

sister molly
told me to run
so i ran so far away
heard them calling
and fled from the sun
in the dark it's all okay
fay warer
fay warer
fay-- look what you've done
and the bones in the ground
are just about gone
broke my bread
in caverns and coves
on tables hewn from stone
spoke in thread
i'm ever alone
and i'm yoked by what I've known
fay warer
fay warer
fay-- my only bride
we've not buried our blight
but it's time to subside
