lyrics

first glimpse of humming dawn
still a way to go-

came to a thin trembling town
they ask "where will it go?"
I don't know
if its falling or rising

I've got to go
follow horizon

I heard an oak tree's song
I read a willow's rhyme
one was bold, but wearing thin
the other felt more like a cry

it said: it's time,
pull horizon

and all the time
the tides kept rising

and it sounded like some twisted
king of hymn

ever-distant
forlorn whisperings...

(refrain)
when the blood red moon
says I'll be home soon
don't think I'll run

well, bury me right in the grass
don't need a coffin to rot away
no, no...

don't think i'll make it through the snow
when Mother makes it cold again
no, no...

got holes in my shoes
and somebody else stole my coat.

I give myself up to the moon,
don't take me later, take me soon

I choked myself on a silver spoon
and let the tallgrass lick my wounds

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Love is falling down my cheek tonight
Love is settling on the corner of my mouth
it tastes like ocean wishes, sunset kisses,
strawberry cheeks and chocolate eyes...
Love is demise
Love is surrender

Really gotta give Squat! a listen, I've got a bunch of pals in this band. My pal Pete is super riotous drummer, Matt is a warm-hearted madman and Tom is a guru at making surfy psychedelic melodies. Erk
