lyrics

Ducks and Drakes

The time of year skims from me
We are lightly thrown
In the air for now
Lifted like a stone

The time the year sinks from me
Water kisses stone
I can’t stay this way
cannot play alone

A game of ducks and drakes
Before the season’s done with you?
So much I’d love to make
So much that’s fallen through

This time the city lulled to sleep by its own afterglow
The way the light lies broken upon a plane of snow
This time the wasted motions are finally coming home
This time that we waken, we waken alone

Now that the season’s done with you
So glad to take this in with you
