lyrics

Heavy he lay
as a concussed angel
the weight of a future was weighing us down.
Each thought, once assembled,
would crumble like clay
as we made for the wildness of the northern mountains.

And we'd always said
that true love should be mindless
where the mushrooms decide to grow
we can't control.

When I taste your tongue
I want to know the deep scent of your gut
not just your heart but your blood
and we'll raise our mug of wine beneath pine trees
as I remember who's dying for me.

So sorry lamb I did not mean to kill ya
I just need your fleece to survive the cold winter.
And under the birch grown the amanita
Like blood on the sleet
or gifts under the tree.

So take this tea
I want to leave my footprints in your dreams
I want to follow the tracks of reindeer
until they disappear.

And who's that man
his face etched in the back of my hand
the big bellied shaman
I hear him hum
whenever I come
and it helps me get born again.
