Pins & Hummingwire

from Graphite & Diamonds by The Orbweavers

lyrics

Do you remember,
Do you remember when
The walls were blue and white,
And a little fringed Holland blind kept us safe at night?

Do you remember when the hill was green,
And the horseshoe lake was full?
Dry times now
And the dust is thick on every window sill.

Pins and hummingwire
Cut across the plains outside.

There could be a call tonight.

Out in the yard by the pepper trees,
We buried that little box -
You spent the day on dovetail joins,
As I wept against the rocks.
Inside there lies:
All we cannot love.
Inside I keep:
All that I love.

Pins and hummingwire
Cut across the plains outside.

There could be a call tonight.

Oh darkness,
Oh deathland,
Oh river of joy;
Come bury me,
Come swallow me,
Come take me to that boy.

Pins and hummmingwire,
Cut across the plains outside.

There could be a call tonight.
