Ether

---

 

With the wall where you drew windows

Overlooking hidden gardens

Cut apart by jagged mountains

Climbing up into the air and

Crumbling down into a valley

Where the water waits forever

Like a quiet distant treasure

When you rise up to recover

When you leave this tiny alley

When you meet me in the garden

With your horns all hung with cedar

Every spirit brushing past me

Brushing past them in the ether

Scream 'All this is window dressing'

'All you are is flimsy curtains'

Watch you flame up with a word from us

And won't know that you're burning

Burning

Burning

 

Okkervil River, "Another Radio Song"

Song of the day
