you say your times been wasted
and it keeps pouring out
so you take to the pavement
and try to get out of town
you’ll never run far enough
you’ll never run far enough
and when your G-d is heavy
and cold upon your chest
it will take more than patience
to fool yourself and undress
you’re never naked enough
you’re never naked enough
but someday when it finds you
you’ll be free
someday when it finds you
you’ll be free
and when the sea is rising
you feel it catch your breath
you know there is no hiding
when you have nothing left to give
sometimes there’s nothing left to give
sometimes there’s nothing left to give
but someday when it finds you
you’ll be free
someday when it finds you
you’ll be free
nowhere we go
can heal a home
you lost
And when you migrate
Mother will keep
You warm

first snow
covers up the world
brings you
closer to your lonesome self

days are getting shorter by the minute
the skin sheds off my nose
and I feel
all the time, I feel
all the time
I feel
all the time, I feel
all the time
so much left to do
but nothing is true
and nothing is real
for going somewhere
but nowhere i wanna go
outside where i’m small
but i wait by the door
and i listen to the cars
and i feel
all the time, i feel
all the time
if you want to be a child
don’t wait
if you want to be a child
don't wait
grass is crispy brown and frigid
she’ll drink up in the spring
mother said her world is twisted
she only lives to see
me grow in the hive
feeding on wildflowers
but i feel
all the time, i feel
all the time
if you want to be a child
don’t wait
if you want to be a child
don’t wait
days are getting shorter by the minute
and love has made the bed
and i feel all the time
I feel all the time
I feel all the time
I feel all
the time

outside the skin
in your skull
you watch yourself
darken
time is bleeding
then coming home again
when was the last time
you watched the sky darken?
for the one who won’t return
for the one who won’t return
for the one who won’t return
I love you

the dream is over now
tell your body to awaken
from all your wandering
in the morning
I will love you
we’re on the other wind
I will feed you little critter
and when the sun returns
and the maples drink
their dinner
where do you go when
your eyes are closed
to the world
where do you go when
your eyes are closed
to the world
