about

For Randy and Kathy

lyrics

Oh by the bridge, by the bridge
There’s a waxing moon
You so wanted to have for our own
That we plucked it from the laughing sky
What a time, what a time

Oh in the yard, in the yard
There were flowers blooming
You so wanted to wear in your hair
So we picked them from the glowing green
What a time, what a time

And the love letters that slipped and cut my palms
I can read them now with grief-calloused heart

Of a lonely loon
Crying at the stars, ooo
Dazzled by the old light, ooo
You and I were always, ooo

Oh by the pond, by the pond
I heard one calling
I so wanted fly in its arms
That I prayed there in the growing cold
What a time, what a time

And the orphaned paints that clogged the big house
I can wash them off with time-softened heart

Of a lonely loon
Crying at the stars, ooo
Dazzled by the old light, ooo
You and I were always, ooo

Oh by the door, by the door
There’s a worried ghost
You so wanted to give me a hug
I pinched your ever-rosy cheek
What a time, what a time

This is one of my favorite albums ever. I love its complexity and how it can change so drastically from one moment to the next; something I feel too many artists shy away from now. Favorite track: the whole thing. Stuff like this I think is best listened to in one go. wateralamode
