lyrics

They left you alone at the back of the room with the chairs (still) set up
Later at home, when you’re finally alone, you open your hands, let it drop
A memory finds you, something lets go
A subtle change in the weather
And all that you’ve gathered comes into your head
And takes you apart again

It’s always the same, you know it like your name and just like that, you can’t really hear it
First comes the flood, then the mud and the drought and the wind over the creek bed
You’re full and you’re empty, you roar and you gasp
You twist like a snake in your bed
The water and wind reach their fingers right in you
And take you apart again

Found and forgotten, lost and then caught and then slowly roll away
Plain as a fountain, judged and found wanting and there at the end of the day
Full of your figure, empty of self
Light sliding out of the frame
Freezes your features, robs you of wealth
And takes you apart again

But oh, how you glow
Oh, how you glow
Silver and sepia, linen and light
Heat from a building that burns through the night
