lyrics

Which one of us will be the next one to be married
Which one of us will be the next to have one born
I think of how your old home smelled in the heat of the summer
When we were kids before we felt such distant drummers
Drawing nearer to me

And I'll say time is slow and all at once
And I will say I feel is slipping through our teeth
And you'll say it's time to behold your own fields
And when you say that more is growing underneath

I know you're right

I'd rather be a rose than smell one spun in clover
Youth like a fence holds back its groves chokecherries spooled around
Whom will I haunt when I come back home with pieces missing
Whom will I have when our days are steeped in reminiscing
of all the ways we have been

And I'll say that I feel empty like a drum
And I will say a drum that's ready to be heard
And you'll say you're like a candle in a drawer
And when you say a candle ready to be burned

I know your right

You've got the same twisted teeth that your father did
and his old grey eyes
and I can tell I have the simple side of youth

I know your right

There is a lot to hear here and unsurprisingly it's a mixed bag, but Passing Strange's stunning arrangement of "Tourniquet" blows me away. They make it sound like it was ALWAYS a piano ballad, and their contribution was to rock it up with lively drums. summer villain
