Big Sur

(アルバム： All The Light Above It Too - 2017)

Behind the wheel against the road
Next to you, the central coast
The central thought within my mind
Is how to stay within these lines
But still be free
Beneath the ground the giants sleep
And maybe we're just in their dreams
The setting sun with every turn
Above the ground the oak trees burn
And they weep, for rain

And for this endless conversation
Instigated by the stars

A pocket knife, an old guitar
Coffee cup, a deck of cards
Corre, corre, dashboard feet
Flashlight children by the stream
A box of books, a book of rocks
One for the birds, one for the knots
That I will learn how to tie
Around this day to keep my life
From sliding away

From this endless conversation
Instigated by the stars
A little wood to keep it burning
Fascinated by it all

The first awake will stoke the coals
The early morning river roads
The last one in the swing will break
Stones will stake the kids will make
Those lines
Rocks and boxing by the creek
Again, the lines begin to speak
Words are broken, smoke signals
That will lead us into the light
Into it all, and always

Always endless conversations
Implicated by the stars
A little wood to keep it burning
Fascinated by it all
And always
