lyrics

these days feel like a dry fever
as the grass in our back yards turns to the colour of old bone
and I, skeletal and sweating,
pick you up from by yr house and we drive out down to the ocean together
you talk about your plans, ask what mine are as I steer wheels away from the dead things on the road

that crawled from the fields that stretch all around
and this is the sea, the waves far out
and this is the place where I was meant to be
and this is the place we are going to leave

Esther, I’ll be fine, just want you to tell me I'm worth the time you’ll spend on yr lonesome
Esther, I’m not right, I wanted to see you, with the eyes I know I will lose soon

and as we drive in the heat underneath an empty sky,
with your elbow out the window, the wind moving the hairs on your bare arms
you reach inside the glovebox, find a CD, put it on and we both sing along to a band we’ll be too old to enjoy soon

we owe it to ourselves
before we pour dirt on the past,
and plant things in the absence,
to flower out,
but that’s not right,
that’s not right at all
I will still be here
in the swelling sense of loss- here it comes, here it comes now!

and I’ll be this, over and over and over again
