lyrics

oh, forlorn lover, in summer, unfurl -
like some vast, florid map, unfurl -
we're distant lands, touching somehow, a gently rocking boat -
sweetly ripping borders.
and in this airborn moment, we're two forms suspended
(and opaque architectures shape your shadow).

If I could still all motions and listen silently, perfectly, I'd descend
into that delicate dreaming realm of our breaths, in sync for an instant
hand in hand with the infinite.

Oh, sleepy protectors of two gentlest solitudes -
geographies are shaped within your trust.
the water is a mirror, shattered by our falling -
silhouettes nightswimming in July.
all limbs speckled with moonlight, midlake,
silence but for our breathing.

Folk guitar might never get better, or more dissonant, than is achieved by Wendy on this album. Forged in an oven operated under shaky circumstances, this object popped out in the form of a silver pearl. deadite_237
