Sun let me down
Fading here like a snakeskin
Laid in the dirt down by the woods
Where I'd walked in
Only comes back when you're broke or lonely
As it comes now
Oh I'm ready
I'm waiting
Held in the dark here
We've made ourselves home
Painting the long grass
And the fog in its high dome
Keep our hands wet, round the clock
Every hour
Oil, berries
And the waves
And the flowers
Wait for the old sound of the wheels turning over
And how the bird calls when the night settles inward
I waited all week and all winter
(The long one)
For light up the long hill
Hoping that it's a bright one
Oh my sun
Come home to me
I've been waiting
For your light
On wood deck
I'm fading
