lyrics

I have cleared a space to put my summerfeet
But some seasons keep lingering
So run from the heat, but I find dry defeat
I get desperate for an autumn breeze
Or a jacket and some fallen leaves
Our homes will hold us, we miss what’s within us
It’s weird to see the mountain peaks
From the bench that sits on willow street
With the buildings beneath, and at night I can see
The blinking of a distant red
From the sign that lights the el cortez
The city’s my song, sleeping with the lights on

Try to find a change in time
These summer poems are written in the breeze

I admit it is clear that I have lost control
I believe that change would fill a hole
As if color in leaves is where I could find peace
I was desperate to pour out my dreams
In her kitchen sink on Halloween
But we stand in bare feet trying to fight the heat

Try to find a change in time
These autumn poems are written in the leaves

Since the night that I slept on London time
All my dreams have been in black and white
And my eyes have turned grey, and they shut when I say
There are mothers next to empty seats
There are sisters crying in their sleep
we’ve all been wondering where the ground beneath us went

to find a change in time
These winter poems are written on the sea
