about

As I begin my 3rd autumn in the Pacific Northwest, I've been able to relegate the numbness of my fingers and toes to the back of my mind, and really focus on the beauty surrounding me. This song is a combination of an admiration for ambient fall beauty, mixed with a simultaneous awareness of biotic mortality.

lyrics

The grass is growing slower, as November calls. The sun saunters softly down a year's dusty, tired halls. And the shadows start to crawl.

At the pinecone's passing, from the limb to the ground, where the days start sliding, a whispering watch is unwound. Where dusk can always be found.

Constellations stretch. Now the wind has her thorns. And the mushrooms doze while the tamarack is feeling forlorn. The tamarack is feeling forlorn.

A prophetic, prosthetic yellow. Distorted through some ocean glass. Like the skin of a serpent, we're leaving memories along the path. And they're left to the hourglass's wrath.

The breath of the morning holds fast and sharp in my lungs. And the notes hang sweetly when the end of the last song is sung. Taste the words still savory on your tongue.

The atmosphere, takes a yawn, a happy sigh. And the soil is laughing as the year says her final goodbyes. As the year says her final goodbyes.

Away, away we go. It's the way we go.
Away, away we go. As the wind shall blow.
Away, away we go. It's the way we go.
Away, away we go. All ye friends and foes.
Away, away we go. It's the way we go.
Away, away we go. Through a cracked window.
Away, away we go. It's the way we go.
Away, away we go. All your highs and lows.
Away, away we go. Away, away.
Away, away we go. It's the way we go.
