Daughter of the wind don't make no sense
It's the sea kin I'm interested in
Can't hum moon mantra
Can't outrun Atalanta
But I'm bound to be your haven again
If it looks like blood and tastes like blood,
That's a real bad wine
Oh honey but it lasts the night
Aren't you tired of being a hapless dreamer?
Pitching pennies into pitch black water
See you standing, but I can't defeat you
Something visceral said I ought to spare you
Got to run to where I can't defend you
Daughters of the sea don't do nothin' for me
And her daughters could not care for me
I taste her waters and she took it to the altar
Said, "what sin you been livin' in?"
If you don't want to go, honey don't say no
I will carry your fault
I will wear your heart like an antidote
Aren't you tired of being a hapless dreamer?
Pitching pennies into pitch black water
See you standing, but I can't defeat you
Something visceral said I ought to spare you
Got to run to where I can't defend you

Blind my eyes so yours I'll seek
Set me up so you I'll need
I don't want to lose your fire
I don't want to miss it again
I don't want to lose your fire
I sure need you here inside my house
Thanks for staying when I locked you out
Without you I'm a man without a name
Rolling in the mud without a shame
You're the restitution I need
Break my legs and carry me
Betray my trust in the things I see
I don't want to lose desire
I don't want to miss it again
I don't want to lose your fire
I sure need you here inside my house
Thanks for staying when I locked you out
Without you I'm a man without a name
Rolling in the mud without a shame
You're the restitution I need
In this town of broken promises
You're the only hope I've found

Simple little fear, I felt it
But lo, in the leaves, ain't no hint of home
The sun will resign, say moonlight
Will you be a brother and lead me to the lake?
I've got to wash that sin away
Well my blood ain't right
I'm boiling
And my pores don't cry for no reason
Well I was sleeping in the mud,
Where I came from
When the dirt became a river and carried me away
And it felt so natural, my bloodline
We die like animals but we've got graves
Someone's got to mourn what goes away
So evergreen, will you cry for me?
I am washed up 'neath your needle boughs
I burst, my chest ablaze with light
I hate you, oh you know I do
But I wanted to go like you
Solemn 'neath the cruel moon
Stars you've seen us fall like flies

Whistler Ridge, Bonnie's blood at the pass
Broken sled, come inside, lay by me, crying
Breathing in unison, havok hands shaking bad
Empty halls, Christmas dinner alone
Hollow head, pulse resounding again
How you cave, sleep for days, wake, revert, live in haste
Every broken ornament, and twenty thousand robbins
And countless cutlery here on Christmas Eve
Take my cot, carry that cross, bury that boat, lamenting Lot
Save that dance, saffron hands, Winter ruse, rosy mess
Lacquered loft, simple song, arid eyes, sultry thought
Malady, livid dream, cold-sweat night

Elkwood, why you steal my boyhood
Why you drink my berry blood
Why you make me count the days
Until you are dressed in amber
Bear's brood, why you test my beet stew?
Why you steal my honeydew?
Why you love your cubs true
Love and long like I do?
Why you make me flee the camp
Brute, bold and honey-bellied
Fair breeze, who kissed me kindly?
Cload boats, sail idly, ivory
Moss rock, totem towering, bring shelter when the gale rage
Blue brook, babble little sweet talk
Careful, winding cold crook
Why you wind forever, restless toil to river
Why you make me count your curves
Current, cooling body-bound twine
Berries, sweet and bush-bred candies
Bright as sunlight envies
Why you make me seize the day?
Fill my buckets all the way
Nectar flowing amethyst
Sill-rested, honeyed and boiled
