song for coins tossed

from asifyouwerethesea by Art Of Flying

lyrics

down by the water's edge some coins tossed
a secret given just between you & me
tossed with some old wish that sparkled-up
the water's surface
wave-tossed & already free

& now we sleep
now we reply
& now the dream slips off again

I say yr lovely I love you & some other things
how will I see you my friend?
you say: "we will struggle & struggle
for the beginning
but O how we'll love the end!"

& now we sleep...

some days are so beautiful you wander 'round
singing songs feel the world
down to yr bones
the next day yr stumbling & mumbling
all the wrong things
feeling so crazy alone
& some days are just perfect love
for spilling beans & naming names
stung like a bee on the vine
but, today just feels broken love
fear rains & murder won
& I know it ain't yours & mine.

& now we sleep...

I took an old song a lost song
a broken song
& spun all the old words around
to sing about everything & nothing
& what's in-between
just to get lost in the sound.

"...hazy & beautiful, content to balance contradictions: critics calling them at first "clear & bright" & then in the next sentence, "creaky & weird;" "the best-kept secret in American music of the new century."
