lyrics

Though the day does dissolve,
there's a picture revolving
too slow for our sight.
And though the sky it does turn,
the same figures recur
in the welkin of night.

And in autumn what stars
will we see watching our
constellations of leaves.
And from any place
there's a point out in space
where the past is received.

Though we know day must end,
we pretend, we pretend,
not so soon.
And though we know night must fall,
do we bother at all
for to learn the new face of the moon.

------

When I last saw your face,
something old had been replaced
in the silence of time.
And so in the weft of space
and the warp of time displaced
will we each mark our lines.

On the solstice we bind
what was once yours and mine
unto time beneath new eaves.
I can see from where I stand
that the sky touches the land
in the place where the future recedes.

And though now day has fled,
looking back and never ahead
do we living proclaim too soon.
And because night has come,
no matter how we might reach for the sun,
we are left the new face of the moon.

Cedar Bozeman, montana

These sounds live in a place between melody and drone, soundscape and song; between field recordings of wind, and rivers of distortion and noise. Richly textured, emotive, horrific, and deeply personal.
