this wednesday, september 11
I am sitting in for the totally cool dave robertson at eve galleria 6456 collamer road, East Syracuse, NY 13057. It will be a completely unplugged open mic with interesting musicians and songwriters. I will beat my cello within an inch of its life-I promise.
The Breath Inside Me
The Breath Inside Me
I don’t want to know this. I don’t want to pierce the veil
To find a dark more warming….. than the sun
That lies upon the water
I don’t want to dream your boat is sinking
When I sleep beside your little…. bird of tin
I just want to climb it up and fly away.
I just want the breath inside me hard and ragged
Want the breath inside me running wild
I don’t want to see this, don’t want a whaling star
To navigate the dark night…. of the soul
Through all this lonely water
I just want to drift it off and burn away
I don’t want to be a Spanish mystic anymore
Under the tender, burning rain
I know the night would shine with light we couldn’t tame
But I don’t want to be a Spanish mystic, just the same
I just want the breath inside me hard and ragged
Want the breath inside me running wild
So spread a thousand graces on the evening water
Show yourself to me and to my eyes
I will be your witness, baby I will be your witness
I just want the breath inside me hard and ragged
Want the breath inside me running wild
