From the recording Poems That Live As People
Lyrics
Your Son is With The Wilderness
He is with the antlers in the dusk.
He is one of them as you are one of uuuuuuuuus
Your son is with the wilderness now
Your son is with the wilderness now
Your son is with the wilderness now
When he breathed, his wings were tucked in tight
Now you cannot see him with your eyes
Wish against the river but you cannot question time.
Music made with all your days, that will say goodbye x3 eye eye eye
Your son is with the wilderness now
Your son is with the wilderness now
Your son is with the wilderness now
BRIDGE:
And you will see him, sometimes, fleeting,
in a trembling trumpet’s shine.
Now he’s standing with no body
On a cliff above the tide.
And when he lifts his arms, o mama
They have turned to light.
Repeat CHORUS
