Here It Is

it's that time in the spring now
everything's singing
and I'm trying to listen
I don't want to miss anything
it's the height of the season
o radiant June
the city's awake now
it's looking for you
up on the mountain and down in the bars
in the light of a moment of love in the dark
I'd give anything for anything other than this
but here it is
I know I'm not your witness
and you're not my muse
you're just as gone as I am here now
there's nothing as strange as the truth
up on the mountain and down in the bars
in the light of a moment of love in the dark
I'd give anything for anything other than this
but here it is
when I wandered in circles
you were there all the same
just as patient in presence
as you were fierce in the chase
when I feel like a stranger
lost inside my own shame
I remember your kindness
I remember your grace
when I forget I love music
when I forget my own name
I hear you call me back...
up on the mountain and down in the bars
in the light of a moment of love in the dark
there's an echo of you in this luminous bliss
here it is

Countless

I said you died so many times
it lost all meaning
became a sound
the space you left is infinite
there is no start, no end of it
I sound it out
hundreds, thousands, millions, countless
this can't make sense
I gave my body to the sky
to the water that held me
and in their depths I was infinite,
for a moment
I felt you close
they set me down
I let you go
they hold you now

Fox Fur Stole

I had a dream that we were playing music
I had to leave but I wanted to stay
tried to explain but you told me not to worry
you laughed and said "I died, anyway"
sometimes it feels like everything's important
sometimes it feels like there's nothing to do
up on Van Horne, I stay to watch the sunset
light up the scar of my new tattoo
the one we got for you
and now I have your fox fur stole
now I have your high heeled shoes
these unexpected things you chose
I know they should still belong to you
so what do I do?
when even now,
I don't know how to write this song
I'm scared of getting something wrong
as though there's some right way
to do this with you gone
drinking from your coffee mug
bathing in the fading light
just as I was looking up
a flock of autumn birds took flight
if we have to let you go
if we have to see this through
at least I have the sad relief
of knowing that you know that, too
there'll always be a part of you with me

Take You Dancing

I would have taken you dancing every night I had the chance to
I would have stayed out late til they played your favourite one hit wonder to dance to
would've memorized the stars in your eyes, constellations all your own
if I had known
you always loved to remind me that the bitter lets us taste the sweet
it was never gonna last, forever was a vaster promise than the world could keep
still, I could've listened to you talk for hours
brought you flowers every time I came home
if I had known
hey darlin, would you dance with me?
wherever you are, I'll take your lead
close my eyes, take your hand
trust my body, follow the band
make my peace, release my fear
I won't need it here
I've never trusted a moment not to fall apart in my hands
mind on the horizon, endless analyzing, waiting for the perfect plan
and maybe it's too much to ask of you now to forgive what I didn't do
but I hope you do
hey honey, wanna dance with me?
wherever you are, I think I'm ready
close my eyes, take your hand
trust my body, follow the band
make my peace, release my fear
I won't need it here
one by one, two by two
every star aligns with you
point me home, hope I'll see you soon
when the stars come down
and the morning gets her crown
just before the sweet surrender to the day
I hear you say:
can I take you dancing?
