Tule

Even though we sleep like ferns
I still feel like I'm gone for good
And even though we sleep like ferns

I still feel like I'm gone for good
I still feel like I'm gone
And whether it's the anther, python, panther
They still breathe hard wind
Hard wind, hard wind, lumber and blood
Hard wind, hard wind, who has the guts
To spill them, spill them from way, way up

Well we're just floating on our backs
Tea parties underwater
Summer's made of salt, swimming until
We dissolve
Into the sweet eye of the storm
And we are here, we are here, oh
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Forever naked, forever waitin', forever loved by the water
Swing with me softly, pull me up closely
To that neck that smells of pine trees
Smile that reminds me of shelter
Oh can't we cling like magnets?
Muddy dirt road, sleet and snowfall
The time we spent up north is made of good
Made of good

But there's a dog decoy of tule
Drifting out of reach
Please wait, please
With me, tule, oh tule
Pretending to be drowned
How long can I hold this breath?
I'm dangling my arms
Buoyant body
Becoming the greenery
Until I am here
Until I am here
Oh

Forever naked, forever waitin', forever loved by the water
Swing with me softly, pull me up closely
To that neck that smells of pine trees
Smile that reminds me of shelter
Oh can't we cling like magnets?
Muddy dirt road, sleet and snowfall
The time we spent up north is made of good
Made of good

And I was visited by the water snake
I was visited by the water snake
She looked me over, I was shaken
She told me in tongues of wings
In a language that sounds like the rustling of leaves:
That the lord's been, lord's been eating again
So go on, go on, take my heart wind
This last old wild thing that's blowin'
With good dreams, wood beams, good good good good good things

With the smolderings of love and armor
The smolderings of love and armor
And seeing the scene, being the bean, oh
Seeing the scene, being the bean, oh
Seeing the scene, being the bean, oh
