Fallow Lyrics

The aqua sky displayed

The constellations in

Sallow waves beyond the parapets of my balcony

A city rich in

Constant sunlight

As lego buildings alway fall around me

And I followed you

To that fallow field while our dad was gone

And we wrestled well

On the sandpaper lawn

Two pump gasoline

Shack so tattered in

Soft drinks that you splashed against the wall

A twist of smoke that

I cannot help to smell

of blue that's hard against the purple dawn

And you brought me to

That fallow field to sing me a song

And we slept in tents

On the sandpaper lawn

Over the years

The dust and rust and rot

Lost its charm in the wake of your absence

That peaceful lock

Vertical and green

Is that Holy Ghost of my adolescence

And I still go to

That fallow field where I hum your songs

I rolled in dew

On the sandpaper lawn

Those hand me downs

That mom gave me

Don't fit me anyway

They're a real presence

So ultimate

They'll fit me someday

And I brought her to

That fallow field in the purple dawn

And I smell your blue

On the sandpaper lawn
