Kinderhook creek, buried in sand
Let’s pretend it’s a day on the beach
My brother’s pulled under
Swept away by the strength of the stream
And though you pulled me from a well
It’s like the drowning stayed in my place
And an empty part of the water
Contains a new kind of space
When it seemed like my heart was a candle
When it seemed like my heart was a moon
Our stomachs had never been closer
But i was ten thousand miles from you
And the good things were made of a burning
And the good things were made like a tide
And we run away from the water
But it licks our toes all the time
And i follow you down to the subway
And i follow your shadow all day
And i follow your heart and its beating
Like i follow its melting away
Something in these thoughts was buried in sand
When you died on a day in the spring
And the dirt pulled you under
But it prickled me under my skin
In the future we’ll be floating, lost in space
I will not remember the features of your face
Or how we lost our paths and fell away into the ground
We’ll be floating, lost in space
I will not remember the features of your face
Or how we lost our paths and fell away into the ground
We’ll be floating, lost in space
I will not remember the features of your face
Or how we lost our paths and fell away
Into the ground
