From the album BookTape (2018).

lyrics

Pushing out my boat she says: Once you mean it you won’t come back.
I navigate towards the blue but wake again to a body fearing the change it’s been.

Don’t keep up your labour, they say there’s natural love
between the yin and yang,
there’s a rambling man bedevilled by his broken drums.

Now unwashed, now bright is the mind,
I’m moved by its winters,
their greening and returning, an envy so cold that it’s burning somehow.

I want to return and reach out and ask them this: Is it true, is it true?
The light doesn’t mind we're parting,
but the light has no mind that’s parting everyone.
Come and walk with me, I have no greed for your thoughts . . . tonight.

Pulling in my boat she sings: As long as you’re waiting you’re not free. Don’t look at the moon, don’t look at me.
Don’t keep up your labour, they say there's natural love
between the yin and yang,
there’s a rambling man bedevilled by his broken drums.
There’s a raining mouth, a closed eye, I’ll see for myself.
I liked this day so close to you, we’ll have a nice life.

Now unwashed, now bright is the mind,
I’m moved by its winters,
their greening and returning, an envy so cold that it’s burning somehow.

I want to return and reach out and ask them this: Is it true, is it true?
The light doesn’t mind we’re parting but the light has no mind to part the flowers from the garden.
Come and walk with me, I have no greed for your thoughts.

Now unwashed, now bright is the . . .
