The Wind and the Window

from Whittled Thrones EP by Autumn Burnett

/

lyrics

We are aspen's daughters
They are alder's sons
Bark, it shows the ages
We've been here too long.

We are lovers waiting,
They are pilot's lost.
We write tales and stories
Of the monster's we've become.

We are soldiers of ephemeral stature
We are sailors of tenuous waters
We rode across an infinite skyline
We found cold lust in in the big city highlife.

I found warmth for the first time in you,
But i lost my mind in rhythm and blues.
Like the air bends the wheat of gold, oh he moved me,
But I will not think of how he could have loved me.

The boy fell out the window,
Lost his grip on dice.
He was caught by a saviour,
Who had already fallen twice.

The wind will catch your body,
Should you be bound to fall.
But her hands are full of people,
She can't catch us all.

I tip my glass to the wind and the window
The fall it is far, but the ground it is hollow.
Wind and Windows.
