Sink Into Wood
recorded on Asking (2020)

Takes a moment to sink in
sink into the wood. . .

Let me tell you about the old man who once lived here
he’d seen so many seasons change from severe to severe
Bent body, wrinkled face, and a toothless grin
he smoothes his wintered hair with shaking hands
and sighs in the wind

Don’t ever bury me under stone
Let me wander off into the woods
To return what I’ve had on loan

Takes a moment to sink in
sink into the wood. . .

Let me tell you about the old girl who one once lived right over here
Spent her whole life lost within concrete, glass, and steel
Fragile hands, withered limbs, and a heart that won’t let go
her ancient body creaks and cracks as she leans toward the window

Don’t ever bury me under stone
Carry me off into the woods
Where I’ll never be alone

Take a moment to sink in
sink into the wood. . .
