lyrics

I saw the wind as it picked up the raven
It’s cold breezes carried me home,
And that for sale sign all but rusted away
Cause you can’t buy what’s never been owned and I thought to the crow:

Keep your wings open for
Weather that’s hoping to
Take you away from what you thought was
Steady as rain and as
Stubborn as sadness but
Those soaked through matches will
Burn once again
Burn once again

All of the words on my lips and tongue were quick
The salt in my eyes kept them dry
The valleys between your eyebrows and mountains
Do not feel the need for goodbyes
So let yourself

Fly like the bird
When it knows it’s absurd to
Take to the air as
Proof that it’s
Possible feats on their own are complete
But those doubts just repeat what you think you don’t know

When I hear your voice it cuts through the silence
A quiet perfection that needs no applause, I
Feel I’m reminded of why we’ve survived
And I laugh at our minds as they fight for a cause
As they fight for a cause

She thought the strings were like calico cats:
From the front to the back
The vibrations were
Sequenced to show what you already know:
That you are your shadow as well as your light

Keep your wings open for
Weather that’s hoping to
Take you away from what you thought was
Steady as rain and as
Stubborn as sadness but
Those soaked through matches will
Burn once again
