Written and recorded in 2008 around the mid-way point of our long distance relationship. Missingness and hope. -C
lyrics
I've got to try to contend with dancing bears
I've got to be sure to keep under my care
the creatures of all asocial kinds
I've got to try to defend all hope I find
I'll keep all my messes on my sleeve
I'll give you the memories that I need
I'll keep all your yeses for my heart
The eyes of my eyes wake with a start
A daffodil put in Sandra's hair
Soon there will be yellows everywhere
He watches her happiness increase
And soon there will be a wedding feast
And then we learn to see the deep stars
(I'm on a windowpane, I'm on a windowpane)
But for now
And then we learn to see (but for now)
once we call out to He
Then He will hear us speak
Sorrow beneath our feet
And then we learn to dance (young and elders)
And then we learn to dance (trees and smelters)
And then we learn to dance (lambs and leopards)
And then we learn to dance (wolves and shepherds)
Then we will learn romance again
but for now I'm on a windowpane
but for now I'm on a windowpane and i want in
