lyrics

Scent of April
Sound of Friday
Out in the street the wine is rising with the moon
We are cultivating thickets of words
Grown up inside this room.

I want to walk with you beyond the bypass
Walk far enough to get away from ourselves
If we walk far enough
In the dark we might dissolve
The night will paint over in black
Those loops we cannot close
The river will flow in
The river will flow in and fill the holes
But you know we'll have to walk back sometime
To where the streetlights graze our skin
Back
Painted over in black
Where do we begin?

Quiet autumn
Starry leaf-fall
Out by the tide I watched you turning like a sail
We are cautious with these values of ours
Aching raw without their veils

I want to walk with you beyond the bypass
Walk far enough that we might meet ourselves
If we walk far enough
In the dark we might evolve
And we will grow into the black
And open out the sky
The river will erode
The river will erode the last small lies
But you know we'll have to walk back sometime
To where the streetlights graze our skin
Back
Walking out of the black
Here we begin
