lyrics

Winter felt like spring outside today
In a garden in the city
Dear Life and coffee in the city
I read of trains and that’s my longing
Blue sky, no clouds, gold birds, deep shadows
It’s exhausting, all this beauty
Alone all afternoon and I don’t speak
But there’s a language in my silence
Night now, inky blue sky, orange light
In the windows, lives I don’t know
The kind of day that makes me want to live
Almost makes me want to die to


Stop pretending this won’t end
Stop indulging all my daydreams
Stop pretending I’m a poet
Stop indulging simple pleasure


There’s a ghost of a man in the mirror
There’s a shadow me in the window
Doesn’t look like me anymore
Saw the ghost of you in the winter light
Saw the shadow of you in a happy dream
She doesn’t look like you anymore


All my life’s an illusion I know that
God, I know that
All I think, all I feel is a dark cloud
In a soft wind

Everyone in this world that I love is
Gonna die too
And everything that I’ve made is a mayfly
In the autumn

But I’ll live and I’ll live and I’ll take in
All this beauty
