Buildings & Clouds vs Whisp'ring Crow

from Ocean​(​s) by Call Hollow

/

lyrics

a nonstop bus to Providence
I've just cozied up to a lovely drunk
I feel my guts all feather-light
I'm full enough, I feel alright

a picture postcard from Mexico
a telephone call from San Diego
a ribbon of light unspooling through my window
a word of advice from a whispering crow

he said, "don't it make you wanna stay?"
(better buildings! better clouds!)
"wishing the livelong day to fade?"
(you're punching in, boy! you're punching out!)
"pissing the livelong day away?"
(better coffee! a better sun!)
"wishing the livelong day to fade?"
(I know it's easy... it's not enough!)

summer's glow
turned to autumn's blow
turned to winter snow
and no sign of the crow
till one January night he come whispering at the window:

"it's night
and the crook of her elbow
catches light
and its reflection in the window
looks like
the apostrophe
between your name and the possessive...
but it's just a trick of the light
she's just a trick of the light
still, it makes you wanna stay..."

Mount Saint Helens, don't blow your top!
just show a little bit of patience...
