lyrics

i wrote you a letter and already you have it
even though i didn’t send it
i’m glad it’s in your hands
there’s a snowbed full of bare, oak branches
tangled by the bare, oak trees
in the middle of the country, the winter here is black and white
but there’s a blend of gold from the barking dogs
racing far to find – what – well, we can only guess
the lakefront folds the oldest colors
far more longer than the sea
belonging to its own sky where the universe is bleached
on top the shoreline, feel the gray is reaching farther
and the blue below is what i see when the morning breaks my dream
if my love gets chased by bounding, brightening dogs
and its footprints lose their mark by the morning fog
well this patch on the trail is snug with blinding light
and it’s somehow lit from the gray above, from the gray above
