about

Re-recording of a very old song, recording during The Language of Birds sessions at Levitation Studio.

lyrics

The cicadas tell you to sleep
But they've lied to you before
In your room you hear hardwood creak
And they're crawling up your door

So soothing
Looking for a mate in spring
Soulful crooning
Do you want the same from me

It's so quiet up here
The emptiness pangs in my ears
The nymphs hide under your feet
They're afraid the cold will make their lovers fleet

Let me discover your arcana
And divine your major mind
In my broke down cabana
Keep my timbals in time
And I'll see you in Atlanta
After spring
Sedated for you I sing

After all of the hardships
After all of the snow
After every ruination
That I need to help me grow
I need to be gold
I need some encouraging cards in the fold

Let me discover your arcana
And divine your major mind
In my broke down cabana
Keep my timbals in time
And I'll see you in Atlanta
After spring
Sedated for you I sing

Seventeen years is a long time to fret over fears
Seventeen years is a long time to fret over fears
Seventeen years is a long long long long long time to fret over fears
