Northern downpour

If all our life is but a dream
Fantastic clothes and greed,
then we should feed our jewelry to the sea

For diamonds do appear to be
Just like broken glass to me

And then she said she can’t believe
Genius only comes along in storms of fabled foreign tongues

Stripping eyes and flooded lungs
The northern downpour sends its love

Hey moon please forget to fall down
Hey moon don’t you go down
Sugar cane in the easy morning
What evades my one and lonely

The ink is running towards the page
Chasing off the days
Look back at both feet and that winding knee
I missed your skin when you were east
You clicked your heels and wished for me
Through playful lips made of yarn
That fragile Capricorn unraveled words like moths upon old scarves
I know the worlds a broken bone
But melt your headaches,
call it home

Hey moon please forget to fall down
Hey moon don’t you go down
Sugar cane in the easy morning
What evades my one and lonely

Sugar cane in the easy morning
What evades my one and only (repeats)
