melting grid - julie byrne lyrics
[verse 1]
paper that’s quick to burn, and the cinnamon peeler
beetles crushed that dye the carmine, well, i exist to be dreaming still
kansas, arkansas, my fields they’re always rich and in fire
long work labor not worth our minds
and i long forgotten the feeling of silence
[chorus 1]
and if the roses need not tending
until, until noon i’d sleep
never could i have gone on that way
because money’s not the thing that’s ever given me sight
[verse 2]
colorado, wyoming, helena into the evergreen
and the wilds washed all thought of endeavor that was left in me
[chorus 2]
and would you ask my permission
the next time you absorb me?
preserve my memory of the mystic west
as i lay no claim to the devotion i felt
[verse 3]
our conversation, it banks in me
and i had almost forgotten the nature of dawn
i thought of it for days after, even months after the moments were gone
[chorus 3]
but i’d get so lonely inside that room
no matter who would ever wait for me
i get so lonely inside that room
no matter who would ever wait for me
