Newfallen - A Weather

After the raining, the shadow of brightness

Under the cedar, where it’s still dry

I can’t talk about small things

When there’s something so big

I won’t lean in to listen when I see you with him

Pine needles on the ground are like clothing

Hastily removed

Before making love

Steady yourself at morning

It’s a better way than waking up

Cauterized by the cold air

It’s wonderful to have no say, to feel this bad

And oh how fun, that we get to be alive

At the same time

And oh how fun, that we get to be alive

At the same time

How we get to be alive

(at the same time)

How we get to be alive

(at the same time)

Hollow like dune grass

But holding up hill sides

I’ll be the weak thing that stops your eroding

If you won’t make it easier, I’ll try to behave

I’ll be mean as a hammer, driving a nail

Gonna make like a pine tree

Leave my coat on me

For my staying here

Between you and the rain

Sorry I can’t lie nearer

I can only fall asleep alone

I like having a whole day

Nothing to get done

No-one, to make me worry

And oh how fun, that we get to be alive

At the same time

And oh how fun, that we get to be alive

At the same time

How we get to be alive

(at the same time)

How we get to be alive

(at the same time)

How we get to be alive
