lyrics

we'll hopscotch 
around shadows
striated light falls on sidewalks
and we'll play in parks
while the sentry sleeps
so quiet these city streets
and the sun speeds through highway signs
like film, our faces, flickering in the light

and so we ride on a horse
steady through zoetropes
but do my prints glow
like the stars
from telescopes?
oh, i don't know....

now we're chasing white rabbits 
through tarot card labyrinths
as the horizon fades
into a perfect gray
birds find their bread
and fly away
now you're going home
but you never left
so close your eyes shake the etch-e-sketch

and there, we'll walk, past the dead
as children, we'll awake, in our beds
and like tangents, we'll touch, and alight
fumbling and feeling in the night

you slept there oh so still under the old oak 
and my hands let go
and my secrets spilled 
and now they're buried beneath me
so we'll play in the mud
and dream of the northwest
where someday we'll meet
and exhume this hope chest
