this version of "back to oxeye" was recorded in the run-up to the one-off "night with the acoustics" show at ground zero in bellevue, may '15.
lyrics
a stiff breeze
blows away
all the hands
of the day
and takes the painter's
favorite sunset:
pastoral meaning,
suburban subset.
the colors are running scared.
spangles on a goodbye to the day.
can't make up their endings
(their exodized remains)
I am the Foreigner.
a Person out of Place.
misled Me, married a Mariner -> forgetting
to re-allign his faith.
the colors are running scared.
spangles on a goodbye to the day.
can't make up their endings
(their exodized remains)
take me back to Oxeye.
take me back to the last good-bye.
take me back to Oxeye.
take me back to the last good-bye.
