lyrics
In the night, the prairie grasses rustle
with the wind, they wave just like the sea
moon it drifts, a lonely silent beacon
point the way, back home to thee
listless days, they drift into each other
under stagnant open skies
I've no rest, to feed my weary body
til the sea is in my eyes
darling dear, your placid eyes of azure
tender voice, it sings a lullaby
when I break the rocky shores, New England
I will never leave your side.
rusty bones, left of titans bodies
fallen down, and scattered on the shore
metal hearts, filled with paper birds
never to, be restored
lifeless beasts, oversee our heading
fragile silver prickled skins
holding on, to thousands of my brothers
never to, get home again.
darling dear, your placid eyes of azure
tender voice, it sings a lullaby
when I break the rocky shores, New England
I will never leave your side.
And I hear their mournful wailing
from deep beneath the earth
begging me a safer journey
slow footfalls on the dirt.
darling dear, your placid eyes of azure
tender voice, it sings a lullaby
when I break the rocky shores, New England
I will never leave your side.
with the wind, they wave just like the sea
moon it drifts, a lonely silent beacon
point the way, back home to thee
listless days, they drift into each other
under stagnant open skies
I've no rest, to feed my weary body
til the sea is in my eyes
darling dear, your placid eyes of azure
tender voice, it sings a lullaby
when I break the rocky shores, New England
I will never leave your side.
rusty bones, left of titans bodies
fallen down, and scattered on the shore
metal hearts, filled with paper birds

darling dear, your placid eyes of azure
tender voice, it sings a lullaby

I will never leave your side.
And I hear their mournful wailing

begging me a safer journey
slow footfalls on the dirt.
darling dear, your placid eyes of azure
tender voice, it sings a lullaby
when I break the rocky shores, New England
I will never leave your side.

Block Ice & Propane
by Erik FriedlanderErik was a huge inspiration to me, showing different experimental places to take the cello, that it can sound equally good strummed/plucked as well as bowed, giving the instrument a whole new voice.
