In the way the snow swallows the sound- your songs have so many poetic lines -there are hundreds of songs here.

Hot damn, this is a solid song, Kent. It definitely has the East Coast sound I've come to know and enjoy (thanks for that), and echoing pretty much all @user-453682133 said about the lyrics. My fave is the recurring refrain, "fire, water, wood, and wine". Excellent work here.

The lyrics of this are beautiful and filled with loss.

Wow! Ditto that about the words - it captures and keeps attention and imagination straight from the opening line throughout.

What I really like about your poetic writing is that it's never predictable. So, you're just waiting for the next phrase to hit you with beauty before you've had time to fully take in the previous one.

So well constructive, clever lyric and cool tune in perfect harmony. Very moving.

Time to lay years down to rest
Parting like a passerby
Walk past everyone to find
Fire, water, wood, and wine

Leave it all as lonely ash
This is what promise becomes
So burn and wash the left behind
With fire, water, wood, and wine

And all along
There’s curling smoke in place of song
On the ceiling of the living room
Suppose I should be leaving

Here among the falling
Everything and anything
Only saved if kept in mind
But fire, water, wood, and wine

And all along
The coast that I grow up on
The way that water keeps its cool
Suppose I should be leaving soon

And all along
There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing wrong
In the way the snow swallows the sound
Suppose I should be leaving now

Leave it all as lonely ash
This is what promise becomes
So burn and wash the left behind
With fire, water, wood, and wine
