lyrics

Moth

You were right, right on time
This morning was my deadline but you brought it back to life
Blooming trees, the redbuds flowering
So let’s fill up our cheeks before the redness leaves
A sweet taste in your mouth, so don’t swallow it down
You gotta take in the town- now now now now now

It’s been raining ,it’s been pouring
Enough to fill an empty quarry,
In the valley where I’m from it would be flooded
But I’d wade in the water, swim just like an otter
D-dive to the bottom of that town
I don’t care if I drown- now now now now now

My legs are roots
They’ve been stripped from the ground
My arms are wings
And they migrate south
I’m coming your direction
Using my sense of smell
And I don’t need my eyes to tell
I could find you in the dark.

The distance, it’s sinking in
Like an aromatic incense
And it still smells good but it’s not your fragrance
The center of gravity shifts
Me around and around
Until I’m dizzy from this town- Now now now now

My legs are roots
They’ve been stripped from the ground
My arms are wings
And they migrate south
I’m coming your direction
Using my sense of smell
And I don’t need my eyes to tell
I could find you in the dark....
