I Believe In Wolves




Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Your blood
Your bones
Your voice
and your ghost

We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

but I'll believe in anything
and you'll believe in anything

If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd take you where nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn


and I could take another hit for you
and I could take away your trips from you
and I could take away the salt from your eyes
and take away the spitting salt in you
and I could give you my apologies
by handing over my neologies
and I could take away the shaking knees
and I could give you all the olive trees
oh look at the trees and look at my face and look at a place far away from here

Wolf Claps

Some songs weasel their way deep into your crevasses. That word always makes me feel funny, crevasses. This one is definitely in the core.

I'll be home
When hair has fallen out
We'll be home
When it reaches the ground
We'll be home
We'll be home
Then

We can sing
Two cracks in the crossbeams
We can sing
Very, very quietly
We can sing
We can sing for each other

Until then don't tear your hair out
I won't tear it out if you don't


When I die, I'm leaving you my feet
When you die, you can stand up for me
We can lie in a homemade canoe
You can put me in your hair
I'll be happy there
