lyrics

Ascension Day Night

If the only one leaving
had done things right
then the only one leaving
would be staying tonight

but the only one staying
has turned from sight
she’s not going to wave
on ascension day night


then a bird lifts him up
in a magical way
his heart’s on the tarmac
his head on the tray

he knows what he did
but not what to do
his choices are many
and now hers are too

get on the red-eye have breakfast in Europe in an open market space you’re a traveling bro now with your country flag in place stained streets cold rain in off the ocean a couple of cops stand and watch the commotion come ocean come watch me ocean come wash the ocean falling falling he disappeared into Russia into the heart of a dark continent and nothing was missing but everything was missing every look every sip all the biting on a worried lip still look at this look around somewhere redwoods brush the sky and a tiny bluebird learns to fly you had a good run with the mirror earth you looked great really great oops

Brave new music." ... more
