Ode To Fire - Jealous Of The Birds

Ride the 28 up through Old Town

Cherry trees cast their blossoms down

I should want for nothing at all

But dogs of longing come when I call

Here again, this grit in my eye

Stagnant pool all covered with flies

See the woman dressed up in white

Cast her sickle into the night

What is rest?

What is rest?

If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?

What is truth?

If I can’t have an effect on you?

What is rest?

What is rest?

If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?

What is truth?

If I can’t have an effect on you?

Charcoal sketches and lemongrass tea

Paper boats I carried to sea

Memory folds itself on desire

I am ice but married to fire

What is rest?

What is rest?

If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?

What is truth?

If I can’t have an effect on you?

What is rest?

What is rest?

If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?

What is truth?

If I can’t have an effect on you?

What is rest?

What is rest?

If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?

What is truth?

If I can’t have an effect on you?

What is rest?

What is rest?

If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?

What is truth?

If I can’t have an effect on you?
