Originally written in the summer of 1988. Hard to remember for sure, but quite likely, on a ferry between Vashon and Seattle. This version recorded twenty years later in Seattle.
lyrics
And through an hourglass
Darkly I go
Staying close to the wall
Like Alice
I can’t help but fall
My shoes are gold and glass, can’t step too hard
Softly I dance, grinding
I’ve broken my last chance
Wallflowers and petals are strewn in my bed
I lie but to wake
What soothes a heartache
Hunger soothes a heartache
But before this river dries, these banks are in flower
Find me and show me, there in the night
Be sure to run and find me
And if there’s a kind or a longing word
If there can be found one single word
Let me hear it, let me hear it
