During Wartime (feat. Mairi Kennedy)

from The Theater Was Rain by *spandrel & The Trash Pile

/

lyrics

It must have been during wartime
with correspondence, pictures, postcards
Every one, the envelope wide
containing some sense of yearning

It must have been during wartime
Using my view from the tower
Deadly aim and female fire
Every window orange in our home
I carried us across the threshold
I kept the fire burning

The beginning met the end
And let us start all over again
The beginning met the end
And let us start all over again

There was magic in the air
Axons make stalwarts, cold-pressed
walking through the fog, evidence
that it rained. spiderwebs made visible by moisture

Real leaves in the wallpaper, holes in the screens
A handful of doves that flew back when released
We keep rolling, rolling in fever
bed sheets are curtains, the windows our dream

The beginning met the end
And let us start all over again
The beginning met the end
And let us start all over again

The land outside the window is sinking
Bullets are landing, the trees are shrinking
everything but you is getting further away
further away
