it's the year without a summer a summer that never was in 1816 and we could endure all the consequences and maybe live in a church by the sea cause even if all the businesses and crops failed we'd be ok cause you are a strange and bizarre phenomenon you are a strange and bizarre phenomenon and we could suck the frost off the most tender parts and run around with rosy cheeks and mouths so sore from kissing in the cold but she says she loves the big city but i'm born from a man from an island, off an island you are a strange and bizarre phenomenon you are a strange and bizarre phenomenon you are a strange and bizarre phenomenon you are a strange and bizarre phenomenon

Sad, Etc 03:39
when the wind blows fierce and cold and the polar bears are feared and am i caught up in my fantasies in this far off sea, where i wanna be when the wind blows fierce and cold and my heart beats fast in my room when flowers wilt and fade away i've missed you so much today i just dress in black since i've been back & say hello to every cat in the neighborhood where we used to live on the first floor, i'm imagining we have beds of all different types of moss to lye in when we think of all that we've lost we have beds of all different types of moss to lye in when we think of all that we've lost and if things change, nothing stays the same, i would live for you anyways star of my sky, with the brightest eyes, a true love in my small life i just dress in black since i've been back & say hello to every cat in the neighborhood where we used to live on the first floor, imagining that you are here when i need you the most tell it to the tuckamores or whoever's close i walk around the barrens and feel so much remorse tell it to the tuckamores or whoever's close
3.
how about tonight? i reply, with my eyes i wanna stay with you all through the night yeah, that's what you say now, she replies with those eyes on me tonight but when there's so many nights in between us disappointingly i dream of my jealousies but when we can't kiss and kiss there's so much of everything that i've missed and when you're the only one i miss there's so much of everything you've missed and when we can't kiss and kiss there's so much of everything you've missed
4.
Kiss and Cry 03:02
you're a mystery so much it seems the most mysterious of my dreams and on roadsides we float on by on tears from our eyes when we kiss and cry it's like heaven's smile cause i've loved you all the while from here to there and sigh when it's time to go cause we love each other so
5.
Voices 03:00
would it be in my best interest to maybe forget everything that i want now like you somehow and is it found in the prayers that we whisper so unaware when nights are full of despair spoken from voices walking in air or is it god coming through the radio?
6.
Next To Me 03:29
winters didn't so long back then when i was a child way back when the darkness didn't seem to bother me like it does now, unfortunately a family man kneeling in his jeans for a picture of a winter's scene who could never admit to being cold cause he's a tough soul winters didn't so long back then when i was a child way back when the darkness didn't seem to bother me like it does now, unfortunately a family man kneeling in his jeans on the snowy ground next to me who never admits to being cold still to know and he's gotten old so cold, so old so before winter reappears and i leave town before it's here i'll cast a spell on to my fears in hopes that you'll still be here
7.
oh sun, look what we found when we were in a field kissing, didn't expect it running but what a sin how we have drove away cause i could have stayed there all night and day, and looking at pictures from that day when the sky fell into our hands and chased the van but what a sin how could we have drove away cause she would have come home with me or is that robbery such a close approach how could we have drove away cause she would have come home with me or is that robbery
8.
9.
there's an image of her i can't forget but it moves like the tide back and fourth and disappears like ghost ships do and would i only be able to find you on the telephone i dunno who knows oh no oh no who knows i dunno
10.
thank you cause i can rely on you like rings of dolphins swimming circles around me lets watch land and sea will you watch land and sea with me so before i hug myself to sleep and need your true light and company with me, near me because i just count time by how often fog horns sound instead of adding all the weeks and months as i'm so weak in my knees as summer also can't love you easily
11.
Sacred Sight 02:44
myself under huge and rural clear dark skies full of white stars that i recognize so well like your eyes that i've memorized and when we sit face-to-face i'm hypnotized and i've seen stars brighter than the fullest of moons that magically light up this town when i need you around and spell out your initials in the sky by my house a point of reference that shows how far i'd go, for you it's in the power of waiting by the sea so patiently, do i have it inside of me waiting to see your face to be ready for me cause you are a sacred sight reappearing
