Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fog like boiled wool felt tight
Rolled in as though a bail of hay introduced
And there grew up a wall of concrete gray
Cutting brief the promenade and swallowing whole companion dogs
[Verse 2]
Ahead, a pavilion measured in steps
Levitates just beneath the press
And bears the weight on its rigid knees
[Verse 3]
Quadruped, biped
Floating harbor for the gulls at ease
No room left but these empty yards that gather in crewneck close
Audience early, arrived for a keener view
[Verse 4]
The beach huts thrust proud their pink and purple chests
The old guard fearing less
Squat broad and make limp protest
Behind now exists not
And this way turns only one page at a time
[Verse 5]
Today, I have hope where you have none
Hunkered down in bell-jar space
Made strange this hour in this light
[Verse 6]
I wonder if you've ever touched me in some other sea
Against my yesterday skin
Skimmed me briefly
Neither knowing we'd be here both
Moon-towing, to and fro-ing
[Verse 7]
A room is changed, dependent on the door by which we enter
You met windows of many aspects
I, the walls and hooks for coats to hang
Yours, the garden song
And mine, the rumbling thrum of the rail yard
[Verse 8]
All terminals arrived at
Words like fallout
Ash where there was none
Already in the blood
[Verse 9]
Some people we don't mean to lose
They snag on branches and separate in market squares
And then the trains, this way and that
Scan barcode faces into something gray
