lyrics

I saw the morning star upon a window-sill
as the world began
I saw the voice of sunrise the wind would listen
& I followed them
what I heard did anger me so
I ate it up like straw

now the sun don't disappear at night
& a heart don't really break, child
ring around the water ring around the moon
till little voices wake us

I heard the voice of sickness the angels bleating
the angels fall
I heard three marys sing to me
that the truth awaits us all
what I heard did anger me so
I whispered night into the stars

now the sun...


I dreamed the shore you made of me
our final resting place destroyed in fire
I dreamed the powerful steal a grace
& sew a death upon us all
what I dreamed did anger me so
I threw my voice into the sea

now the sun...

now the sun's a dog the fragile lover spins me round
& asks me for what I've seen
now the son she hated is the ghost
that's speaking this tale through me
what I heard did anger me so
I flew away & night just fell

now the sun...

"...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."
