lyrics

from whose belly came forth the ice?
who gave birth to the frost of heaven?
in the last of the failing light,
there's nothing much to show and nothing much to go on

and i stand in the snow, trying to write
some kind of a koan or a psalm or a diatribe

the train is late, it's early, now it's running back in time

water congeals like stone
and the surface of the deep compacts
the sky is a plane of bone,
and bluejays shout at thieves now clean right through to springtime

and i stand in the snow, trying to write
some kind of a koan or a psalm or a diatribe

the train is late, it's early, now it's running back in time

laminate songbirds and frame them like photographs
i bet the whole world would pay to be done with all that–
i was born on my mother's back

i met a juggler in leather gloves
they tossed the balls too fast to see
they say it's your turn to be in love
to taste a honey cake as wonderful as eden

and i stand in the snow, trying to fight
some kind of a groan, or the sigh of an anchorite

the train is late, it's early, now it's running back in time
the train is late, it's early, now it's running back in time

No Dogs Allowed is one of those albums i knew i was going to adore the moment i started it. it's one of my all-time-favorites to this day, and it's been FOUR years since i listened to it for the first time... it kept me sane late into lockdown, and it did a great job. incredible sounds, incredible songwriting! roundestrow1et
