All Those Other Lives (Bonus Track)Reading from the notes in a moleskinThat you'd written when you were about seventeen About growing herbs on a window sill And lighting tea light candles on a balcony Now books on the shelf Are like children in a line The spines give away their character So do you have the back bone kid To stand out against all those other lives For two whole years it was only letters Heartsick days tattooed on a page And scouting a journey to be made When a promise was not the only currency When we give our words, we give ourselves away You should you should have Thou mayst, you may And the passing of our sixteenth season we feel We're still drawing our water From the roots of our family trees And loves and letters and intentions that lead To us standing here facing our futures like seeds on a breeze |
