lyrics

YARROW

A fair-weather ghost,
I never want to haunt and it shows
An apparition apropos,
a fleeting railroad stroll

A nomadic coast
Tethered tight and taut in the hopes
that freedom might just keep me close
Give me the briny deep to narrow my scope
and sink my will to shake the north

My nature's unforgiving,
like a ragged city building
I'm a bedlam in an honest town

A firm-footed oak
has never once abandoned his post
as servant to the forest folk
And me, a humble yarrow

A weed to grow and grow
I make my bed the side of the road
a spread I can't seem to control
a fever thrust upon the summer meadows,
the empress of wild perennials
the grand duke of vast valley views waiting for wanderers
I swim in fields and cross every hill with spiny fingers reaching out
A subtle curse of putting me first, while those around me seem to dwindle down
to a lesser crowd
but I've never found it lonely

My heart can be forgetful,
it's a sinking deep sea vessel,
heavy pressure from these unsung murky depths

And upon this great submersion
I retreat with rosy fervor
I'm the sun descending in the west

And I lie sleepless on the ocean floor
One restless night can be the start of many more
so I'll slip out just like I did before
to play the song
of the dying swan,
I'm the eastern dawn
