In The Dark Room

In the dark room I found a candle.
It was lit by someone years ago.
There were hornets on the windowsill, and then there was me.
In the dark room I found a journal.
It was written in thirty years ago.
There were antlers on the windowsill, and then there was me.
And beyond there was a garden.
Pull the curtains back, there’s more darkness.
Something’s creaking at the end of the hall...
In the dark room I found an envelope
It was meant to be sent to someone years ago.
There were spiderwebs (etc.) on the windowsill and then there was me.

I’m goin’ up to the market, is there anything that you wanted?
Some new tools for the garden or a glass bottle to fill?
I might be gone for a while, so keep some wood on the fire
and if the baby gets tired there’s a back bedroom in Crestline.
So I get home before darkness, and in the door is your likeness.
I just wanna stay like this for a while.
And I got you some things for Christmas.
I went right down thru your wishlist.
I don’t know how I could miss this for all my life until today.
In Crestline.
And if I’m any luckier I’ll see the sunset on time.
But if I can’t, then I could be yours, and you could be mine.
In Crestline.

Attic Song

They cut off the power on the 1st of October
A house full of people that’s empty of light
I arranged the eight candles that Robert gave me.
Guardian angel, and the just judge.
So where are you now?
Are you up in the attic?
Where are you now?
Heard a creek on the staircase.
Well, I can’t remember the last I grieved for you
The last time I thought of you, the last time I prayed.
That stuff’s mostly in boxes in the south of the city
Stacked one by one with some labels that say...
they say where are you now?
Are you up in the attic.
They say where are you now?
Hidden spot below the staircase.
And just as the leaves fall, one and then another.
Threw the last of the furniture out the window with the wooden shutter.
I had to break it down.
So where are you now?
Heard some bats in the attic.
Where are you now?
Termites in the staircase.
Where are you now?
Are you up in the attic?
Where are you now?
Heard you on the staircase.

Blue & Green

We left the city on a Friday mornin’
To get to the place where there is no warning
Of the return of an absent God.
We unpacked our bags and we started to echo all of the
Secrets that neither of us had let go.
You said “could you?”, I said “I’d rather not”...
‘Cause I’m so blue and you’re so green
And I’m so dirty, I don’t wanna get clean.
We painted blood on the doorway of the cabin.
We were writing desperate little notes to the captain
When we heard a noise from the woods outside.
The animals surrounded us and they plied us with their songs
and they taught us some words and we tried to sing along
They said, “no one’s gonna know what happened here tonight”.
