Alpine

cowering stalk,
turning blue by the bed it's true i cry better than i talk
touching me, breathing please, wildest dreaming's what i mean by these crippling codes
still i'll be sorry to see you go

cavalier, don't you keep me near
am i only kind, am i only dear
cherry hill, i don't look a thing like that
you know that i never have
you know that i never will

this alpine breeze,
at some point it just got easy, could you ever displease me
honestly leave it be to make my pitiful peace that i was something else before
giddy in the morning tearing through the columns at the grocery store

cavalier, don't you keep near
am i only blind, was it always clear
cherry hill, i don't look a thing like that
you know that i never have
in the morning i'll be tearing, staring still

grieving from an older touch
don't tell me now i know so much
we'd hardly even just begun
who's your one

come on here, why'd you come so near
was it furious fire, was i the only one here
kindling the cold and heavy
shut up if you're so unsteady
it doesn't take a lot to persuade me
frosted in the tide
my lonely satellite
the only lullaby
