about

Recorded and mixed at Terra Incognita, Portland, OR January, 2007

lyrics

Take you lover's hand
While you can still can
'Cause chances are
You'll regret it when they're gone

Every night evening falls
Like a curtain on a show
Will we open tomorrow?
No one knows...

A sheet of untouched snow
Blankets and alpine meadow
And the crows and all they're jeering
are asleep

So kick the blankets off and let his body warm you now
Before a chill sets in and you're freezing with nothing left to hold

We live together and die alone
Like a sailor longs for home
And when he's home he longs for the sea

Whisper a little prayer
Into the back of his hair
And breathe the scent
Of his loving into your lungs

But when it's time to fly
Your\'re gonna bid him goodbye
And you won't look back
Because you won't have eyes

We live together and die alone
Like a sailor longs for home
And when he's home he longs for the sea
