Venus

(Album: Somewhere, Elsewhere - 2021)

I saw a woman
Who saw a challenge
To find the answer
A sweet savanna
And she forgave me
Now it's on the daily
Sometimes a friend
Sometimes an avalanche again

But all I wanted
Was to see the garden
The water yeah it's crystal clear, a reservoir
I saw a woman
Bloom into something
Could see it from a distance, see it coming

You said it to me softly
There's glaciers in the street
We're bathing in perfect degrees
A place with all the coffee
A chair that's saved for me
In Venus her name's on the seat

So play it softly
There's glaciers in the street
We're bathing in perfect degrees
A place with all the coffee
A chair that's saved for me
In Venus her name's on the seat

I saw a woman
In the low light
Making plans right under telephone wires
When we were young, just bite our tongue and it was alright
Wait for summer
With honeymoon eyes

Maybe nirvana
With your open arms
The water yeah it's seemed so clear, a reservoir
I saw a woman
Bloom into something
Could see it from a distance, see it coming

You said it to me softly
There's glaciers in the street
We're bathing in perfect degrees
A place with all the coffee
A chair that's saved for me
In Venus her name's on the seat

So play it softly
There's glaciers in the street
We're bathing in perfect degrees
A place with all the caffeine
A chair that's saved for me
In Venus her name's on the seat

Was out of reach, now close all of a sudden
Thought it would mean something new but it doesn't
We made a plan, it's hot out of the oven
And it's unfolding, your arms wide open
Was out of reach, now close all of a sudden
Thought it would mean something new but it doesn't
Saw my reflection always through another
But in the water, I saw a woman
