about

Being in a committed relationship is such a dynamic thing. While you have the consistency of knowing that you have each other, you also experience the whole range of emotions together.

lyrics

‘Neath the aspens
Rusting leaves take flight
Hallowed light of morning
On your countenance tonight
Burnished & branded, senses abandoned to you
And your blue eyes
I’m trembling in the doorway
Shuttered & feathered & struggling to bring it to light

Times you’re like mercury
My defenses are paperthin
Here in the waiting, waxing & waning, I’m
Paperthin
Oh, summer come heal me, I’m
Paperthin

Midst of winter
New Year’s Eve tonight
Leafless scarecrow trees touch
Like our stars cross in flight
Burnished & branded, restless & candid with you
Into your sweet light
Your rainy eyes won’t own you
I’ll hold you till dawn kisses the night

We were in bloom
We would shine like the stars
