Saber-Tooth & Bone

(album: 1000 Palms - 2015)

I've waited so long to find you
To see you clearly
Hidden in fog just out of my reach
I knew that you'd find me

I was zoomed in on a narrow bend
Of car alarms
Now I can hear the french horns playing
Through all the dissonance

Sometimes I can dwell on shortcomings
But you can see the better part of me
You know our lives have only just begun
And we'll be old and gray before it's all done
You know that I have searched the Earth for you

Every day, we'll be clearing the cobwebs away
Trying hard to make ourselves a home
Out of cinnamon and chrome
And the day we finally make it ours
Then we can never be undone

I've counted the hours
And I'm sure we both are ready
Pacing the floor like something is missing
I dream of past lives

Sometimes I can dwell on shortcomings
But you can see the better part of me
You know our lives have only just begun
And we'll be old and gray before it's all done
You know that I have searched the Earth for you

Every day, we'll be clearing the cobwebs away
Trying hard to make ourselves a home
Out of sabre-tooth and bone
And the day we finally make it ours
Then we can never be undone
