lyrics

Sometimes I stand hunched with my back to the wind
with my collar high
and on my right breast, an embroidered crest
a forlorn deer
blessed is the age of the bell and thread
a knot for the cut line

Huddled against the wind
foxgloves steel the day
long drawn shadow
where it bends the other way

Sometimes I stand with my feet in the riverbed
where the flowers root in
I don't love the rolling hills there
but the colorful rows

Huddled against the wind
foxgloves steel the day
long drawn shadow
til it turns the other way
that I'll face the day

Not that dusk is magic light
but the light will do
not a full cup, not for lack of want
that I still thirst

Then comes summer, one high holy day
then comes summer
for a little while, we’ll take a break from all this shame

Love this so much! DDIN is talent that will continue to go places. Honestly couldn't choose just one favorite track - everything in this dark atmospheric fairly tale land of an album sounds amazing and should really be listened to as a whole. Don't sleep on this! Anna
