    Artwork for the cover is by a great photographer named Hannah!

about

Song number 11 in the Decide To Stay and Swim Again series.

lyrics

All that is gone
I've shut out
And made way for blonde streaks.
I'm saved by the drones of the distant kids
Hanging on an evening breeze.

It seems like we'll get along
As your breath settles on my tongue
And the ghosts from the shoreline hum
Their dead weight song.

Carve the way back home
And light the harvest fields
With the moon that straddles your dim cheeks
If you're a lost love now
And safety worked in crowds
With the damage ever haunting me.

It seemed like we'd get along
As your breath settled on my tongue
And the ghosts from the shoreline hummed
Their dead weight song.
