about

From the upcoming album "Waiting for the Sky to Speak" on Spirit House Records and Wilbur & Moore Records - Releasing 03/17/23

lyrics

Did you need me to be steady
after I turned into wind?
Did you need me to be solid
after I turned to liquid?

I'm a fake fraudulent reporter, trying
to decode changes in the weather, pleading
for summer, keeping on my sweater, making
predictions without ever going outside

Promised a little rain, brought in a hurricane
Year after year, can't let it go
Why did you disappear after the air was clear
Year after year, I still don't know
how to trust the sun
how to trust the sun

Sick and tired of believing
all of it is my fault
Laying under a willow, weeping
stroking her hair softly

An image inverted in the water
I will jump in, disappearing altogether
I'm naked, shivering all over
Should I feel whole now, feel whole now?
An image inverted in the water
Should I feel whole now, feel whole now
I'm naked, shivering all over
Should I feel whole now, feel whole now?

Promised a little rain, brought in a hurricane
Year after year, can't let it go
Why did you disappear after the air was clear
Year after year, I still don't know
how to trust the sun
how to trust the sun
how to trust the sun, sun sun
how to trust the sun, sun, sun...
