about

This was written by Aidan about frustration. We thought the juxtaposition of between this lyric and a really cheerful arrangement could do something interesting.

lyrics

I started northward before the rooster’s crow
Clouds above
Dirt below.
Turning soil for nothing to grow
Wishing on some sunlit grove
Days crawl on slow as January snow
Drifting deep against the bend
Still, seasons turn sure as river-water flows
You’ll drown in the flood trying to see the end

Spend all your wages just to feel something
This stone isn’t diamond, it’s cold clay
In the morning work starts again.
This stone isn’t diamond, it’s cold clay.

An old friend called past before the end of day.
Half-set sun
Half-poured liquor.
She said ‘You don’t know your best days until they drift away
A grey glow in a dirty mirror’

Lay your head down
Sky of cherry plum
Wild geese flying low
Do you think they whisper of how far they’ve come?
How far they’ve still to go?
